I felt very creative going for the casual date night dinner. I had been buying mushrooms and needed to use them. First thought was a mushroom burger – but that seemed so ordinary.

Retirement
We are all on our own remarkable journey! Whether it includes work, retirement, children, grandchildren, heartbreak, tremendous love, huge successes, or crushing defeats, it is a journey unique to each of us. It informs and shapes us into what we are and continues to mold us into what we are to be. Each experience is just another stitch in the fabulous quilt that tells the story of our lives. Through this blog, I invite you to share my journey past, present and looking to the future. It began more than sixty years ago and continues to amaze and delight me. I hope that we can share experiences, perhaps share advice, and enrich our lives through our common and sometimes not so common experiences. This blog has posts in different categories as you can see. Here is a brief description of what you will find in each one. Join me as I continue the journey, reflect on the past and enjoy the moment.

Making Small Changes Can Make Big Differences
In her book “Age Is Nothing But A State of Mind” Suzy Toronto said ” . . . when you change nothing, nothing will change. But with a new attitude, you can really make a difference.” This is not profound. In fact, it is simple but sometimes we need to see it in writing to make the light come on… Read More
Let’s Talk Hair
Oh! You probably think this is going to be the same conversation that goes on when black women talk about “hair.” Should you straighten it or wear it natural? Should it be curly or wavy? Extensions or wigs? Weaves? Twists or braids? Women have so many options and can choose any of these styles on any given day. The hair… Read More
The You That Is You
“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
