One Chunk at a Time
The Universe always seems to give me a new project, and this time, it’s to remove a huge hunk of an island that was shoved (by hurricane or tornadic winds) onto my back yard! Those 90 mph winds and 21 inches of rainfall filled the lake and caused such high water that it managed to…

Sweetest Day Signs
My late husband (Jack) and I met each other on Sweetest Day in Ohio in 1967 at a college “Tea.” We knew right away that we were meant to be together, and we were for the next 54 years until he passed. The grief has been quite the challenge, as any widow of a lifelong…

Milton Moved an Island!
Who knew the wind and rain of a massive hurricane could move a massive island on a lake! Let me explain this phenomenal vision. There was an island in the center of the lake behind my home. It was called a rookery for nesting birds. Every February the woodstorks would come and make their nests…

A Floodline Feather
For any of you who have followed my posts describing my feather stories, you’ll know my late husband has left me some remarkable signs using big, white feathers sticking up like arrows shot into the ground at meaningful places and at meaingful times.

Signs on Our Evacuation “Vacation”

Tropical Storm Pajamma Day!
When I grew up in the northeast, anytime we had a snow day, it felt heaven sent! I would be so excited by a surprise day off from school, that I would get up ridiculously early and go right out into the snow (mittens, boots, coat, hat, and scarf over my pajammas) for the thrill.…

Flashes from the Other Side
When it comes to grief, the lack of predictability is one of the hardest elements. As anyone who has lost a significant person in their life knows, the waves of sadness come and go with no regular pattern. Any thought at any time can spark a grief reaction and release the tears with almost no…

A Snake Reminder
I have enjoyed the power of exercise over the years, enjoying how my mood picks up after my brain gets a thorough blast of oxygen. These past couple of years especially, with the passing of my husband, I have committed to some daily physical activity to help my brain chemicals with the grieving process. Exercise…
