It’s been seven weeks since I told you my month of R&R had come to an end and nearly four weeks since we completed our long-awaited trip to Alaska. I’m feeling a little restless…unsettled. Like there is something I should be doing, but I’m not sure what it is. There’s that word “should” again. No…
My mother-in-law turned 95 this summer. She has seen and done a lot during those years. She raised three children, was a dedicated military wife, managed a bank branch, golfed, made friends she still has today… Of course, that is just the tip of the iceberg…a small sampling of what she has experienced in her…
Six years ago, I shared some confessions with you. I decided it would be fun…for me at least, and I hope for you too…to relook at those confessions and see if anything has changed. Here is the original content with the updates in bold: I have a confession to make. Well, actually I have several….
Evidently, the third time really is the charm. After two failed attempts (thanks to COVID), we finally fulfilled Mom’s request to scatter her ashes in Fairbanks, Alaska…to return her to her beloved after 63 years apart. I hope to have a novel inspired by her amazing life to share with you in the near future,…
Whether you blog on a schedule or when inspiration hits…whether you have a narrow niche or a more general theme…when you sit down to write a post, how do you decide what to write about? Sometimes I sit down at the computer knowing exactly what I want to write about. Other times, I’m not so…

June gave me so much for which to be grateful, I hope you will bear with me for this longer post…it is mostly photos, if that helps! Thank you Betty… …for 95 years of life…for the joy, the lessons, the love, and just for being you. Thank you everyone who celebrated this momentous occasion with…
My, how time flies. It is officially summertime in the Northern Hemisphere, 2022 is very nearly half over, and it’s time to check in on my Word of the Year progress. As a reminder, my word for 2022 is CONNECTED, as in… Connected to this moment Connected to my authentic self Connected to my amazing…
Fabulous failures and marvelous mistakes I was reading blogs recently…as I often do…and came across a combination that got me to thinking: this one on Debs Despatches that asked how you go about making decisions and another on Robby Robin’s Journey discussing women and confidence. No doubt, one of the biggest roadblocks to making big…
What are you going to do now that you are retired? I get asked this question almost daily since I announced my retirement. Usually I answer, “Whatever I want to!” Sometimes I give a little more detail: Stay up past 10 p.m. Delete my alarm. Schedule personal appointments on a weekday. Hang out in nature…
