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!

Waiting for that big break in their careers to come. Waiting for a promotion. Waiting for retirement. Waiting for someone to make them happy. Waiting for “Mr. Right” to come along. … Read More

“Today you are You. That is truer than true. There is no one alive who is You-er than You.” Dr. Seuss Back in the late ’80s there was a book authored by Robert Fulghum titled “All I Really Need To Know I learned in Kindergarten.” It was a huge success and is still in print today because it reminded us… Read More

And You Thought Dr. Seuss Was For Children

“Sometimes you will never know the value of a moment until it becomes a memory.” Dr. Seuss How many times a day do we see people walking with their eyes on their cell phones or worse walking without seeing?

To do these things we need to remember… Read More
