Editor Shock
It’s a funny thing when you write a book and you first receive back the suggestions from the develpmental editor. It feels like criticism of your creative product…”your baby.” It’s as if they commented about moving their nose to the top of their head and suggest that one eye should be on the chin. Your…

It’s a Big Deal…Till It’s Not
I know someone who’s had cancer, open heart surgery, 17 other surgeries and several major losses in her life, but has more excitement and enthusiasm for life than most people I know!

The Red Flower

Happy Anniversary Signs
/ I tried to stay happy on what would have been our 54th wedding anniversary, as a gift to my late husband. I know he watches over me, and I know in my heart he would not want me spending the day crying about missing him since he passed last year. I planned a day…

New Puppy Joy!
Today I saw that my neighbor got a new puppy and shared the sweet little thing with me on a quick visit. I fell in love! I have always felt dogs were put on this earth to simply please us with their unconditional love when treated well. And puppies just light up our hearts. After…

We Made Our Little Plan
I stopped posting here for a bit in order to write my book. It was quite cathartic as I shared the experiences of connecting with my late husband during my first year of widowhood. And as much as I know others may find my story quite unique to say the least, my biggest hope is…
