A Year and a Half Today
I hope someday I won’t still be tallying time…time he’s been gone and how long since we… (fill in the blank.) I know the grief from losing my “54-year person” has had some lessening recently, but the pity parties still happen…just less intense, for shorter periods of time, and less often…thank goodness.

Chance and Readiness
Louis Pasteur once said, “Chance favors the prepared mind.” My late husband used to repeat that quote to all of his students to encourage them to educate themselves so that they’d be ready if lucky opportunities arrived.

For the last few months, I’ve been writing a book about receiving signs from my late husband, and all about the synchronicities that validate them.

When You Look for Love
This past Valentine’s Day I was afraid I’d have a really bad day missing my husband. It was my second Valentine’s Day since he passed, and the first one, after sharing fifty-four others, was very hard. While I was at the grocery store the day before, I saw all the Valentine bouquets on display and…

My Glass-Half-Full Dream
I’ve been reading a lot of inspirational books recently as a way of lessening my grief. I do feel I’m turning the corner and have started focusing more on the positive instead of my loss. Yesterday I read that we should celebrate that our loved ones have successfully completed their lifetimes… that their physical end…
