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…

One of the hardest things for me to do over the years is nothing…to get out of my past and future and just be in the present moment. I remember talking with my spiritual mentor right before a vacation one year, and she suggested I try to be still and appreciate the moment a few…

His Warm Clothes
I headed out driving to the library on this beautiful summer morning, and I saw the small bag of my late husband’s nylon sports shirts sitting on the seat beside me where I put them to remind me to take them to the Goodwill drop off site. I had tried a couple days before but…
