  • A health-focused connection to body

    Here we are again, nearing the end of another month. Admittedly, I’m a week early for the WOTY Link-up, but since I plan to be on vacation next week…connecting with friends I haven’t seen for two years…and with the ocean, which I also have not seen for two years…I thought I’d write my April word…

  • Thank you notes: little bits of gratitude from spring 2022

    Happy spring! And not a moment too soon. Of course, as I write this, my lawn is covered with snow. Welcome to spring in Utah. Don’t break out the flip flops quite yet…or at least keep them side-by-side with the snow boots. I don’t typically publish Thank You Notes mid-month, but I missed March altogether,…

  • The beginning of the end

    Well, this month I had the first of what I am sure will be many lasts, as I count down to retirement. I participated in my final board meeting. It really hit me as I looked around the table that there is a good chance I will never see some of these people again…certainly not…

    We are three months into 2022…a quarter of the way through the year!

And who could blame us? This world is full of distractions. We have places to be, things to do, people to…

  • WOTY Link Party: Connected in February

    We’ve come to the end of another month, which means it’s time to check in with our Words of the Year…if you’re into that kind of thing. And hey, if you haven’t chosen a word yet, and you’d like to, it’s never too late! Choose one today! You may recall my word for 2022 is…

  • Thank you notes: little bits of gratitude from February 2022

    Thank you Sweet Tooth Fairy… …for this adorable and delicious red velvet cupcake. Looking at it made me smile. Eating it made me do the happy food dance I learned from my mother. Which reminds me…thank you Mom for teaching me to appreciate the small things in life, like good food. Speaking of which… Thank…

  • I want to be like an elephant…if only I could remember why

    My sisters and I shared a moment recently, laughing nervously about the basic things we sometimes forget…a keypad code we’ve used hundreds of times, where to turn when driving to a popular destination, the spelling of a common word. The list goes on. What does it mean? Just that we are getting older? Too much…

    You have probably heard the urgent pleas for blood donations around the world. The Red Cross reports it is experiencing the worst blood shortage in over a decade, while the demand remains high. Every two seconds, someone in the United States needs blood. The Canadian Blood Services CEO says the need for new donors is…
