Fishing Holes

Yeah, I know, any of you who know me personally would wonder why I would write a post on fishing. You would know I’m not a “fisher” – a word I made up years ago to describe my avid fishing husband. Fishing, the kind you do with a pole, is not something I’d ever go . . . → Read More: Fishing Holes

Brain Games

I have never played games on Facebook. Candy Crush just wasn’t my bag. Why? Because I thought it was a waste of my time.

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.

Discovering Miracles

A few days ago my daughter invited me to come to Boston and go hear Gabrielle Bernstein speak with her and her friend on November 17th.
