Say It Softly, Say It Again

Appreciation, compassion, and forgiveness. Appreciation enables and inspires growth individually and together, compassion is a home for love and care, and forgiveness allows for mistakes. It reminds us how human we truly are after the first year and 20th year. Continue reading

Shot in the Dark

Here we are, it’s the evening and I’m freshly exfoliated and lotioned. The only thing missing is a chilled glass of chardonnay and some snacks. While I’m awaiting President Biden to make his speech, I wanted to take a moment and share my experience with getting the COVID Vaccine. (more…)

Ring in #Hope - Happy New Year 🎊!

Let 2021 be the fresh start you need that will bring hope and peace! I’m remembering all we lost in 2020 unnecessarily due to COVID, all those who lost their employment, and lost hope that help is coming. You are not forgotten. You are not alone. Have a happy & hopeful New Year 🍾

What Is Being Gift Wrapped?

Here we are at the end of the year. It’s time to be holly, jolly, and stuffed with treats all while being socially distant. This is usually the time of year when we start seeing the year end wrap up. List after list on whether we have achieved our goals for the year. Let’s be clear here – this year has been one of the worst for most citizens of the world. Record high job loss, evictions, not to…

Ain’t Talkin’ Bout Love

I’m one of the many who’s been adding more Van Halen tracks to their playlist lately.

With all the horrid things that have happen this year (and those hits keep coming), I wanted to take a moment to focus on some of the positives that have made their way down the 2020 conga line of doom. I want to begin by saying my heart goes out to all of those we have lost to COVID-19. It’s a tragedy…

With the days getting shorter, I know our patience is wearing thin.

If you need help, please reach out! It’s not the time to play armchair psychologist when actual trained professionals can and will help.

Stay safe, friends❤️

When The Light Fades

Losing Ruth Bader Ginsburg is simply devastating. She was an incredibly woman that believed in equality and fought for all of us. Her passing is a strong reminder that we need to continue the fight for equality in America. Justices who think like her should be the norm not an exception.

Dark Side of the Quarantine

How are we staying sane during this? A better question is, “Why are we still dealing with this?” That’s a question with a much longer and somewhat angrier answer for another day.

We’ll Take Another Round

It’s a beautiful, yet very hot, Saturday afternoon. I’m sitting with the a/c on debating on opening a bottle of wine. White wine. Specifically Chardonnay. It’s a personal favorite white wine of mine. My favorite red wine? Melbec. I’m sure just like everyone else, we’re all armchair experts in various types of alcohols and new concoctions at this point. We have managed to learn how to turn just…

I’ll Tuck You In

And when we drift off to sleep, we know we’re safe because you always made sure we were safe and warm.

Mother’s Day is more than simply a day on the calendar. It’s a time to remember who cared for us and nourished our souls. It doesn’t matter how you became a mother. What matters is the love you give to others selflessly. It’s not easy to love someone else unconditionally. It requires…

TGIF – Check In

As I sit here having a few cookies and milk, I wanted to do a quick check in.

A check in with anyone feeling alone, scared, or isolated. To know that you are not alone and that you are loved and needed.

Whatever you’re filling your cup with tonight toast it to good health and good times coming in the future once we get past this pandemic together.

I stopped in a home improvement store earlier today for stain swatches and potentially new plants. I always cruise the plant clearance section first because this particular store always discounts plants that are still in okay enough condition that they can be planted or cared for and I see results. I may have to work harder to cultivate them but regardless, they blossom year after year. I started…
