I have been stuck - a writers block - about what to say. It's been a long year of COVID this and COVID that. So, I got to thinking. I am now officially vaccinated. I can make plans. And plans I will make! Based on past travels or my favorite spots, I chose pictures to share... Continue Reading →
Don’t Be a Negative Nerd #SmileDamnit
I think a great deal of Americans and other nations have been in a funk for awhile now. We are tired of COVID, negative politics, nasty comments on social media, rude vehicle drivers. Let’s face it, things don’t seem to be going our way. Maybe things used to go your way, but you have to... 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 →

Help is Attainable, Inside Each One of Us #HelpingHand
This is not another looking back at 2020 but looking forward. I recognized that last year had it’s share of gloom, but the gloom I am referring to is the loss of lives, friends and acquaintances from cancer, COVID or suicide. The grief that accompanied each loss was, in many ways, different from the last... 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. And some of those events are still with us, at no fault of our own. Which led millions of Americans to go... Continue Reading →
How Does America Heal? #BuildingBridges
I have struggled since last week to write a blog post because of the swirling drama over the election, COVID surge and general feeling of gloom in America. Giving up or giving in? I am not sure what I need to consider for healing…..For that matter, what America needs. I have found that letting go... Continue Reading →
