Life is a gift
It’s been one hell of a year, don’t you think? I feel like it flew by me in a blur. One minute I was making my list for 2019 and the next?…It’s 2020. To be honest, I’m ready for 2019 to be over. It’s been a hard year, one of loss, learning the hard way […]

Remembering 2018
2018 has been a year of discovery and a year of loss. A year of meeting so many wonderful people and saying goodbye to old friends who should have had so much more time. It’s been a year of perseverance and a year of learning who I am, of how strong I can be and […]

Thank You for Giving
This time of the year gets really crazy. I work long hours, go crazy trying to clean up every corner of my house, decorate everything in sight, shop for the perfect everything… Until I reach a point of exhaustion and the holiday season becomes a blur. Actually, it started the beginning of October when I […]

Dear Younger Me
There are some things I wish I would have been told when I was young, things that could have made such a difference in life. Don’t grow up yet… I was always asked what do I want to do when I grow up? What’s your plan? What college? Everything seemed to be about the future, […]

It’s a Miracle
Today is a miracle. Today is a celebration. Today…Jesus rose again. We were given a miracle, the gift of forgiveness. Everything in the past has been wiped clean and we are new. So what are you going to do with your gift? The world is kind of messed up these days and it’s up to […]

Everyone Has a Dream
We all have dreams. Sometimes a dream can be as simple as a day in the sun or walking on a beach somewhere peaceful. Other times, a dream could be of a house or a new car, a dream job, an awesome partner to share your life with. Big or small, we all have them […]

Be Safe, Be Kind..Be Amazing
Today is a year since the tragic death of a beautiful young woman I knew and loved. She was a mom, a wife, a daughter, a friend… Her life ended on a busy country road up north because of a man who made a really bad decision, to drive a car under the influence. His […]

Starting Over…Hell Yes
It hit me at around 4:30 am this morning that it’s New Years Eve. I have been so darn busy that I kind of forgot. Then I remembered… I wasn’t going to do that anymore…Be that busy. Be so busy I would forget the important things. My excuse?… I got busy. Out comes the white […]

So this is Christmas…
I love the words to John Lennon’s song, And So Happy Christmas…..So this is Christmas…And what have you done…Another year over…And a new one just begun As I watched my family eating dinner, laughing together, opening gifts and simply enjoying the evening with one another, it makes me reflect back. I thought of all the […]

Life doesn’t begin at sixty but the beauty does
I can remember thinking I would never make it to sixty. It seemed like some mythical number off in the distance. Of course, back then, everything in life was hard. I worked hard, I played hard, I was raising my little girl all on my own and I remember thinking every day ‘I’m tired’. It […]

Half past January and still going
I was going to wait until the end of the month to blog again, but that little voice I listen to inside my head, says today. How has the first three weeks of January been? Are you sticking with those resolutions or did you do like me and make promises instead? I am proud to […]

Goodbye 2021
I think I said the same thing last year, goodbye 2020. Little did I know that 2021 would be the craziest and hardest year yet. 2021 was a year of letting go. I learned not to have expectations. Not in people, the economy, jobs, life or even myself. Change was a constant roller coaster. Plans […]

Live a little extra each day
Every day when we wake up, we make a choice. Do we get up or go back to sleep. Do we moan because we don’t want to start the day or do we give thanks because it’s a new day, a day to start over, a day to find something wonderful. Do we worry about […]
