The Friendship Moment of Change

  Female friendship can be tricky, but so worth it.  I was reading a blog post … about moving and missing old friends. I can relate to that! Been there, done that, moved 8 times. I started laughing to myself, thinking about a comment that was forming in my wrinkly gray matter. As I ... Read More

When dealing with difficult relationships, remember that the person hurling caustic words at you is often in pain and reacts to their own pain by hurting you. #healing #self-care #what to remember

Choosing to Notice the Graces of Life

They encircle me. My job is to notice them. Rejoice in them. Be thankful for them. I step out of bed and my feet hit the floor. Gravity is still in effect. No ceiling walking today. The sun shines through my window. Again it has risen. The birds belt tunes from the fence top. The ... Read More

Living in a Different Land and Reality

I watch my son build a Lego city. A round parking garage takes shape. High rises sprout around the city with various roof top designs. One triangular, one tall and spiky, one with a fly through. A park is installed in the middle of the city, which sits alongside a riverfront. We talk about the ... Read More

Ever wonder why flowers are my go-to pictures?

Why flowers, you may be thinking? Doesn't she have any friends or know any people? Attempting to get to the bottom of your questions, and my fascination with flowers, I conducted a Q & A.

Live Life Unwrapped

Striving for a life of perfection has no story. No humor. No memories. Forget perfection and go for human. Embrace the mistakes. No one remembers the nearly perfect Thanksgiving.
