Four-Year Angelversary
My husband, Jack, passed away four years ago today, and, in order not to have a hard day of sadness, I said a prayer last night asking Jack to help me to have a happy day. I set my intention to try to focus, not on his death, but on our 54 years of loving…

“Gratitude Unlocks the Fullness of Life…”
“Gratitude unlocks the fullness of life. It turns what we have into enough, and more. It turns denial into acceptance, chaos into order, and confusion into clarity. It can turn a meal into a feast, a house into a home, a stranger into a friend. Gratitude makes sense of our past, brings peace for today,…

A Summer Solstice Sign
It’s definitely a record-breaking heat dome hitting right now with real-feels over a hundred. The cool dry spring and all my favoritie gardenia blossoms are long since done blooming just ahead of Mother’s Day… except this year. On Father’s Day this year (last weekend), there was a single, unexplainable gardenia on the gardenia bush. It…

Remember the Frog?
Well, this time it took three, strangely related, and synchronistic events to get my attention from my late husband’s spirit.

…Or Was It?
In my last post, I denied that a live frog in my kitchen, beeping on the stove sensors, was a sign from my late husband. It seemed that because there was an explanation for the beeps, it wasn’t a sign. Well, I’ve since had several people respond to that post telling me they felt it…

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…

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…

Widows Surprised
There are times I find myself at a gathering where I meet other women who have recently lost their husbands, and I instantly feel connected to them. The first year after my husband passed, I actually avoided parties for fear my crying might involuntarily start, and it would be such a downer. My second year…

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…
