Monday Motivation – Grief
I attended the mass of a friend this past Friday. It was an unanticipated death and she was only 69. She always had a smile on her face and she truly lived life to the fullest.

Alone for the Holidays.
My eldest son and his girlfriend came by last night and helped put the lights on the tree. I always like to have a tree up for Thanksgiving. It helps me get into the spirit of the holidays. Each year that passes I see my kids finding their way in life, growing into the adultsContinue reading “Alone for the Holidays.”
Social Media does NOT Equal Social Connections
We are living in a time period where social media consumes our daily lives.
