Happy Valentine’s Day from the Other Side
What a delightful day yesterday, February 14th, turned out to be after all. I miss my late husband very much and usually fear the sadness that comes now with those happy holidays we used to share. I have to remind myself that he’s there with me in spirit which can only comfort me so much.…

A “Spirited” Joker
Today I was playing Canasta with a group of women and the subject of my book came up, You Don’t Know Jack! How Antics from My Late Husband’s Spirit Give Undeniable Evidence of Afterlife. I simply explained that my late husband had told me he would send me signs from the other side if he…

A Bird Sign
The island in the lake near my home had always been a beautiful spectacle of hundreds of nesting birds in the spring. Then, during Hurricane Milton, that island was literally blown over to (and some of it onto) the banks of the surrounding properties. Since then (well over a year now), I’ve been supporting the…

Holding Hands from the Other Side
Grief has a funny way of surfacing out of nowhere…any trigger at any time. After my husband passed four years ago, I have found those deeply sad times have greatly reduced, but not our memories. The memories of our fifty-four years together still pop up all the time. Today I was thinking how we’d go…

Positivity & Release for ’26!
I often speak about the glass half full as a goal, especially as I grieve the loss of my husband. Reminding myself to be grateful for the 54 years we had is certainly easier said than done, but I’m working on it. And today, January 1st, I give myself that reminder again as a New…

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 Small Group of Souls
Recently, I’ve been volunteering at an independent living facility and feeling the great connection with them in a way I never expected. It all started with wanting to help the elderly remember happy memories and write them down into a collection. I thought they’d love to accumulate a memoir-like folder so they would have it…

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…
