TullyandKate

TullyandKate. All Kristin Hannah fans know TullyandKate. Kristin Hannah’s Firefly Lane is the best friendship story ever told. I remember reading in 2009 and just crying and sobbing after I turned the last page. Making the reader care and invest in the characters is the mark of a best selling author. Nobody does it like . . . → Read More: TullyandKate

Forget Your Age; Live Your Life

Recently I had my hair spritzed with red again, so when I entered the the Koko Fit Club this morning fit coach Amanda commented on how cute it was and wasn’t it purple last month? Near me was an elderly woman with gorgeous short, white-silver hair. She commented she liked my hair then said, “Imagine . . . → Read More: Forget Your Age; Live Your Life

Fix The Door

Every May I clean out my garage, put screens on the door and settle my white resin rocker and small red table in front of the screen. This summer room becomes my “place” until late fall. I sit for hours gazing out across the marsh, at the cottages on the beach. If I turn my . . . → Read More: Fix The Door

Don’t Get Comfortable

When someone says don’t get comfortable it usually doesn’t mean good things. It’s usually a warning that if life right now is too good, beware, because it could change at any time. Although I have found this to be true, I have come to believe it’s a positive thing.

What’s The Risk?

What’s the risk is a question I should be asking myself more often when fear strikes. One of my greatest fears as a beginning artist is the blank page. Before I even put the pencil to the page thoughts of screwing it up are racing through my brain. I get over it. I put the . . . → Read More: What’s The Risk?

Haha! I’m Younger!

Haha! I’m younger is the second thing I said to my dear friend, Donna, this morning after wishing her a happy 60th birthday. She said I wasn’t far behind her – and I’m not – I turn sixty in August. But that does make me younger, doesn’t it?

My friend is my hero. We . . . → Read More: Haha! I’m Younger!

The Cookie Saga

On Monday I arrived home from NY to find this lovely package from Cookies By Design gracing my doorstep, a Mother’s Day gift from my Boston daughter, and the Cookie Saga began. Mind you, these are by far the best cookies you have EVER tasted in your entire life, so I was extremely excited. . . . → Read More: The Cookie Saga

15 Days

It’s been 15 days since I’ve done any yoga or exercise and today was the day to begin again. This morning I went to fit club and the workout was good, but my e-BMI (Body Mass Index) was amazing – after 15 days napping and sitting. It was 29.3. I’ve never fallen below 29.7. I . . . → Read More: 15 Days

Exactly This Day

One of the fun parts of writing a daily blog is you know that for ever how many years you wrote it, you can go back and see what you wrote about on exactly this day, however many years ago you choose. One might ask what would be the purpose of doing that?

The biggest . . . → Read More: Exactly This Day

Solitary Confinement

My solitary confinement began six days ago with the onset of a bad cold. (My husband brought it from NY). I haven’t been sick in years and forgot what it was like. I almost didn’t even remember my old cold remedies that used to work to shorten the life of such a cold. Besides the . . . → Read More: Solitary Confinement
