…and Sometimes It’s Just Not
Once we tend to believe things happen a certain way, we get so used to it that our expectations go on autopilot. This happened to me on Easter morning. I was missing my late husband as I was preparing dishes to go to a family dinner without him. The wish for him to be with…

Birthday Hello from Roomba
My late husband’s birthday recently brought me some calls from loved ones who wanted to remember Jack with me that morning. As the day went on, it was bitter sweet. I was happy he was born, but I truly missed his physical presence and tried not to stay low with sadness. I quietly spoke to…

Flavio “Possessed”
I have one of those robot vacuums, that I named Flavio for fun, and it has always intrigued me. How it bumps into every chair and table leg, changes course, and keeps going till somehow it finds its way back to the docking station to recharge. And it eventually vacuums the whole floor space even…

Sharing One’s Beliefs
Having the courage to share my beliefs has never been something I could brag about. As someone who didn’t like upsetting people or having conflict with others, it was always easier for me to be quiet when I realized my beliefs were different from theirs. It was never important enough to take a chance at…

Cherished Time
The older I get, the more I know in my heart that what matters most is the time we spend with those we love. I remember all the way back to when I met my husband-to-be. We couldn’t have been happier than to just spend time together. We were in college and often didn’t have…

Jack’s Spirit Chose “Our” Christmas Card This Year
One of the harder things a widow faces is learning to sign greeting cards as from just her. Buying a store-bought Christmas card is especially difficult for me since my late husband and I always made funny picture cards that usually reflected his naughty sense of humor. We always loved the responses in laughter and…

The Sign of a Timely Tilt
One very big flaw of mine is the amount of ruminating I do. I spend way too much time when decision making, trying to make sure I do whatever it is from my heart so as not to offend anyone or ends up being the wrong choice. And if I think I did offend or…

Spirit’s Static Signs
It’s been almost three years since my husband passed, and his signs from the other side have continued…just less often. I get it. He knows I already know he’s not gone because his prior communications have been so plentiful, undeniable and perfectly timed or placed. (See the recounting of signs in my book, You Don’t…

2 Meatballs and a Cupcake
Gratitude comes at moments we can’t predict, but those moments of appreciation can make all the difference in our attitude and happiness. The other day, I was working to clean up my yard from hurricane damage and wishing my late husband was still alive to help me. Not wanting to get into a pity party,…
