Look for the Helpers… Choose Kindness
•
Tomorrow is January 20, 2025. Going forward from this date, I am choosing to look for the helpers and choose kindness. I am choosing to trust in something bigger that has more power than what will happen for the next four years. Kindness, Goodness, and Love should be the lead…

The Year in Review… in Brief
•
It’s New Year’s Eve and it’s time for my Year in Review… in Brief. Very brief, actually. The overwhelming theme of this year for me was the election. Emails, texts, social media, every moment seemed to be consumed by it. I suppose I am thankful it’s over, and I will…

We have choices to make, too…
•
It’s been a week, hasn’t it? Whatever side of the ballot you were on, there were SO many feels. So, now our job as citizens of our country continue, just like they did last Monday, before Election Day. But we have choices to make. Will we continue to live in…

The Future is coming for us…it’s now!

The future can mean a lot of things to a lot of people. To me, it means FALL! With its’ beautiful color-changing leaves, crisp, cool air (well, eventually here in NC), Pumpkin Spice Lattés (or even better, Apple Crisp Oatmilk Beverages!) at Starbucks, and best of all… sweaters and sweatshirts!…

Paris Olympics, COVID, Hurricanes… trending now
•
Well, it’s Thursday. I tested positive for COVID on Tuesday, but I felt bad on Monday. Three miserable days, but we all know the drill, so I won’t bore you with my details. The only difference of this one (my third go with it) is that I passed out in…

The Most Wimbledon Time of the Year
•
My happy place has returned. Hours to sit in front of the TV and enjoy high quality tennis. Ah, Wimbledon. I love you so. Gentlemen’s Singles AND Doubles. Women’s singles and doubles. Finding the new players to root for. Discovering the players I just CAN’T root for. That dreaded word……

Dear Supreme Court… Way to go, You Killed Democracy
•
I promised myself I would never bring politics onto my blog. I wanted to keep it work-related or life-related, but this is this is the only place I have to get out of my brain and heart all that is boiling up within me about the heart-breaking mess that happened…
