I Love My Sister!

My sister knows just when to say (send) the right thing at the right time! I have been really focused on my fitness goals for 2014. (Earn that blue lanyard!) These holidays have been – well – these holidays. It’s been full of wine and good food after good food (and I don’t mean good . . . → Read More: I Love My Sister!

Uh oh…Number Three

Today I went to the gym here in NY and then went to the corner coffee shop I always frequented after working out. I pulled in and it was no longer a coffee shop. It was a restaurant. I felt a moment of sadness that there wasn’t a cool corner coffee shop around here anymore. . . . → Read More: Uh oh…Number Three

Yes! I Love It!

In a recent email a friend asked me if I still liked working after four months. Instead of just replying with a quick “Yes! I love it!” I decided to give the question more merit. I thought about it as I worked double shifts this week. A co- worker told me I could give her . . . → Read More: Yes! I Love It!

P is for Passion – Click Click Click

Click. Click. Click. There’s no place like home. Follow your passion. Find your passion. It’s the pathway to happiness, so goes the recent hype.

It’s Not A Feeling

I so didn’t feel like coming.” I told her that’s how I will feel when my shift ends . . . → Read More: It’s Not A Feeling

Awareness

Today I write about awareness because awareness could’ve saved my mother’s life. She could still be here on this earth enjoying life with my dad and her children and grandchildren, but because thirty years ago there was no awareness about a terrible disease that eventually killed her, she is not.

No Time To Waste

Today I had to get up early to be at work way up in Orleans at 9 am. If you told me two months ago I’d be doing this, I would’ve told you you’re crazy – no way would I get up at 6 am on a Saturday to leave at 8 to be at . . . → Read More: No Time To Waste

A Day of News

Today I spent the day giving the house a much needed fall cleaning, putting up fall decorations, lighting apple spice candles, opening windows and giving gratitude for each blessing I touched as I moved and dusted objects throughout my home. At noontime we had gotten word that a friend just delivered a beautiful baby girl. . . . → Read More: A Day of News
