What a day! It seemed like from the moment I left the comforting walls of my humble abode, nothing was going to be easy. It started with the package my daughter asked me to mail; an odd shaped present for her boyfriend stationed in Texas. With the proficient help of the postal service, that gift […]

“I luff you Nana”, she said. Now, I’m not entirely sure if she meant those words this particular time from the bottom of her nearly three year old heart, or if it was the overwhelming gratitude she felt at my latest promise. I had just said, “Nana will send you the Peter Pan movie”. For […]

To everything there is a season, A time for every purpose under heaven: A time to be born, and a time to die; A time to plant, and a time to pluck what is planted; A time to kill, and a time to heal; A time to break down and a time to build up; […]

If I died tomorrow, what would people to say about me? I think it’s helpful sometimes to think of your life this way. My parents, my kids, my friends, those who don’t even know me well, the ones I meet at the grocery store, on the plane, at the sports event. How would they remember […]

Okay ladies, let’s get real. It’s almost Valentines Day. For those of us who are married or involved with someone, a large percentage of us must admit that yes, in fact, we do want something. Granted, some of us are easier to please than others. There are those who say, “I really don’t want anything” […]

The third night in a hotel is supposed to be the one where I finally fall asleep at a decent hour and sleep through the night (for the most part). I guess it was not to be. I did fall asleep early, snuggled in bed, ready to make my way to dreamland by around 9pm. […]

Freezing in VA, made me miss home, so thought I’d post a little something I wrote the day before I left… A pelican flies by, one feathery wing dipped in the cool water, as if checking the temperature A cool salty breeze tousles my curls and rustles through the palm fronds The water laps around […]

Standing in line shivering outside the airport in the “taxi line”, I couldn’t help but wish it would move a little more quickly. Finally, it was my turn and I was grateful when the door was opened and I could escape the winter chill. I gladly jumped in and situated myself, happy that it was […]
