It is imperative that we all adhere to the distancing guidelines that have been issued. The only way to protect ourselves, our friends and family regardless of age is to do this without exception.

Discovering Me! Discovering You!
In this category, I think it is important for you to know something about me such as who I am, what has been my journey and how I made the decision to start this blog. I want to share the journey I have traveled so far and how I came to be the me that I know and love today. I find it extremely exciting and invigorating to meet other women and learn their stories. This section will share the stories of our lives – not just mine. It is not that I think my life’s story has been so different than millions of other women out there but it may be just different enough that someone will read it and find comfort or inspiration in the “sameness” or just see it as inspiration to look at your own journey and how you became the wonderful you that you are today. I hope that other women want to share their stories as well.
Each day is a new opportunity to learn something new. It can be a new word, a new recipe, a new language – every day in every way we are learning. Maybe we are coping with the loss of a job or a loved one, dealing with a serious illness, helping our children or something that impacts the way our lives used to be and is now forcing us to learn to make the most of our lives as they are in our new reality. Maybe we have entered a new phase of life like retirement, parenthood, returning to school to pursue another degree, taking a dance class or swim lessons. Every day in every way we can learn and embrace something new. Together we can keep learning!

What I thought was difficult became easy by just voicing it out loud. Sometimes it takes putting pen to paper (so… Read More
Impressions Do Last

Each and every day we make numerous choices while interacting with people in ways big and small that will leave a lasting impression. Most of those interactions may come at work, while commuting to work or with our own families and… Read More
Love Is On My Desk This Week
“I have learned not to worry about love; but to honor its coming with all my heart.” Alice Walker There are many people who, when asked about Valentine’s Day, remark that it is simply a made-up holiday that puts tremendous pressure on people to spend money and make overt exclamations of love in grand ways. In other words, they get… Read More

We Should All Step Out Of Our Comfort Zones
“It’s all about getting outside of your comfort zone. Until you do, you’ll never know what you’re capable of.” Dwyane Johnson, actor, as Spensor Strasmore in “Ballers” Every so often we should take a look at ourselves and decide whether we want to stay with the status quo because it’s “comfortable” or if we are ready to take a risk… Read More
