Who cares what you look like? Dance anyway. Just me and the dogs home on a Sunday. Pat Green, “Three Days” song is blaring loudly all throughout the house. I remember all of the words, even after all of this time. Puttering around about to have lunch with my mother-in-law. I am walking and then...Read More

I just got back from Buffalo for a wonderful family visit. We celebrated Mother’s Day and my mom’s 70th birthday. It was beautiful and was filled with spending time with those who I love so very much. I went to go see my grandmother, who is now in a nursing home. When I walked in,...Read More

Gram enjoying her food! Getting old. It is inevitable. This is the story of my beautiful grandmother and choices that most every family has to make one day. Tough choices. Aging parents. Love. Understanding. Patience. Acceptance. Sacrifice.  It was the last day living in her house and she didn’t know it. Her last coffee made...Read More

Not everyone can change the world, but ALL of us can help to change one life.  You never know the impact of our words, your actions or your generosity can make in someone else’s life until you actually do it.

There are certain people in this world that stand out as nothing short of extraordinary. It is not because of one single act or something largely spectacular that they once did, rather it is because of the culmination of the thousands of little things that they do every day. These rare individuals are like angels...Read More

I feel like we all need to practice a little sauntering in our lives. It puts things into perspective. Slows our roll just a little bit. We are programed to go SO FAST now – always rushing from one thing to the next. 100 MPH all day until we crash at night…only to get up...Read More

Sweat is pouring down my face and my shirt is soaking wet. I am out of breath on my Peloton working harder than I thought that I ever would have been able to. I smile as I look at the words that I had written a little over a year ago on the mirror in...Read More

The sun was shining. It was one of those “not one cloud in the sky” days. We just finished a semi-long but very challenging hike up Cathedral Rock and then down to the river off off the Templeton Trail. We sat on a large rock by the water and ate salami sandwich rollups I made...Read More
