One Year Ends and a New One Begins
It’s almost the end of 2025, and I can’t help but feel a mix of emotions. On the one hand, I’m excited to bid farewell to this year and welcome 2026. But on the other hand, I can’t wait to see what the future holds. This past year has been a rollercoaster of emotions -…
Clarity
Clarity doesn’t always come in quiet moments. Sometimes it hits you in the car, between errands and thoughts of what to make for dinner, whatever. Webster defines the word “clarity” as “the quality of being coherent and intelligible” – something I think we, as humans, are constantly striving to be. If not to others, most…
Heartbreak is an assh……
I heard a saying….actually a title of a book from a very good friend…and of course, the book is in German….but translated the title of the book is appropriate…..Heartbreak is an asshole! Definitely not for the faint of heart, I dare say. One of our greatest gifts is communication….unspoken, spoken, languages, yada yada……and respect….if we…
Life is What Happens After You Make Plans
Isn’t it crazy how life runs away and you forget about things? Or is that old age? Combo of both, I think. So, it has REALLY been a long time since I have written because, well, you know, LIFE happened. Just to get you all updated….here’s what has been happening. Adjusting to be an empty-nester…
Such a Wonder….
Hello, friends….it’s been a little bit since I’ve written…you know that thing called life…well, it sometimes gets a little crazy and we forget to take a deep breath….that’s what this entry is…my deep breath and wonder at this journey of life that I am on. I bet, if you took a deep breath, you too,…
Job well done!!
Soooo, you’ve joined the empty-nester ranks, have you?!?! First and foremost, congratulate yourself on a job well done, my friend! You survived sleepless nights with an infant, kept from killing yourself through the terrible two’s….in my case terrorist three’s…..back to sleepless nights only this time with testy teens…..you survived!! Or, rather, your kid survived! Now…
What’s Your Worth?
Happy Sunday, friends. I’ve been having some serious thoughts roaming around in my head centering on self-worth…so, naturally, I have come to sit in front of the keyboard. At first, I sat down with the intent to write this post to all of my lady friends/readers…but then I thought surely my male friends might struggle…
Is it OK to just BE for awhile?
From the time that we are little, society in one way or another influences our idea of what it is we are supposed to do in life. You know what I am talking about, don’t you? Be a good child for your parent(s), go to school, do all the activities, go to college, and finally…
Officially an EMPTY-NESTER…..
Whoever made up that term, anyway? It’s catchy but it also doesn’t prepare you for the myriad of emotions you go through….or the personal re-evaluation of your sense of self. As a parent, you raise your child to go forth unto the world and become a productive member of society (or at least you hope).…
The In-Between
Father’s Day has come and gone. It was the first without my dad. I was filled with so many emotions. It was also the last first without my dad. My daughter has graduated high school. My family came that could make it. It was my first and my last high school graduation with her. Soon…
