Let me start out with a big thank you to everyone who participated in last week’s getting to know you exchange. Many of the questions directed to me started with “What is your favorite…” If you read the responses, you now know that I may be just a little indecisive. My answers mostly said something…
October is a big month for me. Next week, I will celebrate my 62nd birthday. And this week marks eight years since I published my first ever blog post, and So What? Now What? was born. In past years, I have marked my blogiversary in various ways: giveaways, sharing lessons learned, looking at the numbers,…
In addition, this month I will be including a couple of updates to my Fall Possibilities list for those who may be interested. Thank you autumn… …for the many treats of the season, including some of my favorites…pumpkin anything, seasonal candles, University of Utah football, and red wine (okay red wine is good no matter…

August was another joy-filled month. It took tremendous self-restraint to keep this post to a reasonable size, but I think I managed it. Fingers crossed! Thank you Brooke… …for inviting me to your wedding shower, and more importantly, for loving our grandson and not being scared off by our crazy (and I mean that in…
Five years ago, I posted this advice for those just starting out in life, including our oldest grandson, who was just graduating from high school. Well, now that same grandson is getting married soon, and knowing how much young people love free advice from their elders…don’t they?…I thought I’d offer this up again. Take advantage…
When I first heard that a Barbie movie was coming out, I paid no attention. I assumed it was a children’s movie, and well, our youngest grandchild is a teenager now, so it held no interest for me. Then one of my teenage granddaughters said she couldn’t wait for the release, and shortly after, I…
As part of my Word of the Year (WOTY), EMPOWERED, I am redoing the BATS exercise, and it occurred to me that it would be worth sharing with you, my friends, once again. So here is the post I originally published on 09/27/2016, slightly modified: Here’s something you may not know about me: I like…
Warning: I had an eventful, joy-filled July, so I will be sharing more than my usual number of photos this month. They say a picture is worth a thousand words, so this post will be photo-heavy and word-light. Thank you Bobbi… …for the fun red, white, and blue nails to help celebrate Independence Day. Thank…
