I find this time of year very awkward Where I live there are hints of spring infiltrating the landscape. Buds on the ends of branches, brighter mornings, and lingering daylight in the evenings. (All this despite what remains of a surprise snowfall.) There is a lot of power in this time of year. Think of [...]

Lets Talk About Love, Baby As part of my personal growth this year I’m doing an experiment in De-Cluttering. You may have read my original post about it. You may even be following my progress.

Rethinking Menopause at Ladies’ Night Earlier this month I did a mini presentation to a group of women at a car dealership of all places. Funny, eh? Funnier? Once a quarter they host a fun event, called “Ladies’ Night,” where they invite women from the community to attend. I have attended this event before as [...]

This was originally written after the loss of a dear loved one who passed away in the fall of 2011. It was titled, “Enjoy the Sunshine When You See It” and was posted on my previous blog. I couldn’t not have it as part of this new collection. I am re-posting it in loving and [...]
