Just a quick note to let you know a couple of schedule changes, and remind you of one truth: When we feel helpless at what life throws at us – it’s an illusion. STOP. We are NOT helpless. Remember: WE control our own thoughts and responses. WE decide the direction of our lives. WE are the captains…
DetailsWhat our live look like is up to us. Yes, thing happen that we cannot control. But the success of our lives is up to us. It's truly an inside job. How many people have you seen who are bitter about the hand life has dealt them? COUNTLESS. Yet I've seen mothers BURY THEIR CHILDREN…
DetailsHappy 2017! At 12:00 am January 1st, 2017, I was "worshiping the porcelain goddess", which was not my first choice of things to do while celebrating the beginning of an new year. Apparently I'd picked up a bug that caused an upset stomach…and produced the unforgettable experience of getting rid of the old year's garbage to…
DetailsCHRISTMAS… That one word evokes so much emotion in us all. It takes us back to our childhood, our memories with our own children, and our longings for what we wish we could have…and what we used to have, and now have lost. It truly is the best of times, and the worst of times,…
DetailsI realize I steer clear of life's catastrophes, politics, and all-in-all unjust episodes – basically most of the topics in the media.

DetailsWhen I was growing up and I did something the rest of the kids were doing, my dad would always roll his eyes and say, "If the kids jumped off a cliff, would YOU jump off the cliff too?" I was puzzled; my answer was another question: "If they all jumped, wouldn't there be a…
DetailsThe Cubs are in the World Series! Who’d’ve thunk? They’re playing at Wrigley Field tonight and tomorrow night, and I know a lot of people will be watching the game – maybe I even will; it IS pretty exciting. However, the dances I had scheduled for tonight and tomorrow night do not have TV’s in them, so I’ve decided to cancel the dances. …
DetailsI’m not the only procrastinator in the world, although I think I’m one of the best. Sometimes, time is UP and putting decisions off is a luxury we can no longer afford. That’s happening as we speak – today is IT! Royal Caribbean is taking back their unsold cabins from our group rate as of the…
DetailsWhat a lovely day already. It doesn’t get much better than writing while enjoying the fresh sunshine, sipping cocoa-flavored tea in front of the fireplace (which is ON), gazing into the leaf-strewn yard, laptop in one hand and cell phone in the other. Ah, technology…and Fall. Which is here, in case you haven’t noticed. Funny…
