It’s Not What You Think #Empathy
The things we see in life are not always what they appear to be. Many life events can go either way if we take the time to look differently. Let’s take grief. Grief isn’t only about death, but it what we assume when we hear or read that word. Grief can be the loss of... Continue Reading →
Pandemic Peak #AreWeThereYet
Well, I got my second vaccination dose yesterday. Today I have a sore arm, feel a bit sluggish. But that’s it. I am fortunate after hearing so many stories from friends that felt otherwise. Getting vaccinated has me thinking, what do I want to do this summer that I have not been able to for... Continue Reading →
Who Will Answer the Phone? #ReachOut
Last week was a gut wrencher, in more ways than I could have imagined. I think this pandemic stuff is getting to me. I have become an introverted extrovert. My only ray of sunshine is that I have one vaccine done, the next is on my calendar. When I get a funk, I call my... Continue Reading →
Learning from Loss #2020Lesssons
I honestly feel as if the collective world is breathing a sigh of relief. 2021 cannot come soon enough, can it? 2020 was a roller coaster ride of one discouraging event after another.

Despite the fact that Zeke died from severe congestive heart failure and my determination to not get another dog, Murphy boldly appears. I am... Continue Reading →
Words to the Other Side #WordsofGratitude

It just does not seem possible that one day you were here and then soon thereafter, you are gone. But gone does not mean anything more than the physical, does it? I remember when...

Let’s Make This Work #Collaborate #StrongerTogether
I am writing this on Sunday, and I am icing my right knee. Believe it or not, what did me in was too much shopping with my sister who was visiting last week. Who knew shopping had side effects? The shopping excursions were interesting because I watched how people acted and treated each other in... Continue Reading →
It Really Is All About Your Attitude #AttitudeDancing
I am going to go out on that limb I never wanted to climb on that avocado tree in my aunt and uncle’s front yard in Pico Rivera in Southern California. I was always so envious of the boys that would just keep climbing higher. What held me back? But just last night I realized... Continue Reading →
