November 16th, 2013 Most of you know every Friday I participate in an A-Z Blog Hop. (See previous post.) I add my post to the chain on Friday and over the weekend I go back and click on each blog in the chain to see what other people came up with for the letter of the week. I . . . → Read More: And The Winner Is…
November 12th, 2013 Last night driving home from work the new Katie Perry song Unconditionally came on the radio. As I listened to the words I thought about the unconditional loves in my own life.
My husband loves me unconditionally. I know, deep down, no matter what I do, he will always be here. I’m a handful . . . → Read More: Unconditionally
November 7th, 2013 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. I jerk my head up and think, I better hurry up and get out there and search for mine. I thought when I retired from teaching what a wonderful opportunity to . . . → Read More: P is for Passion – Click Click Click
November 6th, 2013 Yesterday I wrote about embracing discomfort. I wasn’t having a comfortable day. It seems, awhile ago, I have been asked by God to traipse new territory. Along the way He has asked me to step up and do something I know I must do, but have been avoiding. It seemed yesterday was the day.

November 5th, 2013 Lately I’ve been into Tabata cardio elliptical workouts. In the one I’ve been doing the end is really hard. After 6 sets of Tabatas (go as fast as you can for twenty seconds then as slow as you can for ten seconds, at varied inclines and resistances) you have to keep the incline at ten . . . → Read More: Embracing Discomfort
November 4th, 2013 My husband and I are watching the Patriots beating the Steelers 24-10 at halftime. This has been such a comfortable game compared to the last few weeks when we sat here watching Tom throw and ball after ball get dropped. Games were lost and won with much anxiety and frustration. Not so today. Today Tom . . . → Read More: Regaining Control
October 27th, 2013 We all take a moment to stand back and take stock of whatever it is we do to assess the difference we make in the lives of others by doing it. The other day I got an anxious email from a faithful reader “being selfish” and demanding that I don’t stop writing this blog. She . . . → Read More: Stand Back, Take Stock

Welcome to the fun Friday A-Z blog hop. This weeks letter is N and “Needs” came to mind when thinking about being able to find and follow one’s passion. While driving, I remembered Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs I studied way back when in college. (I’m amazed I still remember these things – back then . . . → Read More: N is for Needs
October 24th, 2013 Today I learned something about exercise that I shared with some of the fit club members tonight. I was working and a member came in about 6:30 and said, “Oh I’m so tired but I came anyway. 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

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.
