I will not be repeating the photos I shared last week on my January goal update, but rest assured, I am deeply grateful for those things too…especially my 25 years of marriage with my wonderful husband. Thank you Southern Utah winters… …for being mild enough to allow for comfortable walks outdoors with the aforementioned husband….
We are nearing the end of what I am quite sure is the longest month of the year. Typically, December seems to fly by…and then Father Time takes his foot off the gas, and January stretches on long past its welcome, leaving me feeling like a kid on a too-long road trip. Are we there…
Buckle up…here we go again! In the United States, 2024 is a presidential election year. While all elections are stressful…those relentless trash-talk ads, the potential for conflict among friends and family members, and of course, the fact that there is so much at stake: our personal freedoms, our health and safety, perhaps democracy itself.…but this…
I wish I had a nickel for every situp or crunch I did in my younger days, trying to get those washboard abs or at least a flat stomach. I’ve let that dream go, along with the situps. That doesn’t mean I’ve given up trying to strengthen my core…and with good reason. What is your…
Well, we did it…we survived 2023! Hopefully, you thrived through at least parts of it. The beginning of a new year inspires introspection for many of us…either looking back to evaluate the past year or looking forward to what we hope to accomplish in the new year…perhaps both. I long ago gave up New Year’s…
While I was thinking about what message I would like to share with you this Christmas, I saw this story on CBS Sunday Morning, and I knew there was nothing I could say that would top this. So I invite you to take three minutes to watch this touching story about an amazing teacher and…
My youngest daughter turns 40 this year. First of all, how did that happen? I can’t possibly be old enough to have children in their 40s! Anyway, back to the topic at hand. As Ashley prepares for this milestone, she is asking for advice…things we wished we had known when we were 40. Since I’ve…
Let me start by thanking you all for the great conversation on last week’s Thank You Notes post. I was particularly intrigued by the input on handwritten notes versus texts. I admit I lean toward sending texts these days, as it is more immediate…and let’s face it, easier and cheaper. That said, I still love…
I build the Thank You Notes posts around the photos I’ve taken over the month. While I have much to celebrate this month, I find I took very few pictures…and none of the people in my life. Please know that I am deeply grateful for the many friends and family that grace my life. A…
Last week, I introduced you to my fancy new Signia hearing aids. Some of you noticed that I failed to include any real discussion of how they look and asked if I would be willing to share some photos of the product and of me wearing them. First, thank you for pointing out that oversight….
