Thinking about the fact that I need to return a pair of shoes I recently bought, the expression “Walk a mile in her shoes” came to mind. We are taught or learn, hopefully, not to judge someone if we haven’t been in their exact same position. With genuine desire and…

Franklin, My Dear
Growing up thirty miles from Philadelphia, with everyone in my family born and raised there, spending time downtown shopping with my mom, sightseeing, visiting my nana, the City of Brotherly Love is not only woven throughout my childhood memories and my own adult traditions, it is part of my DNA….
It’s All On The Wrist

A few weeks ago I posted “The 411 On 426”, where I shared that I was thinking of getting a Fitbit. I did order one and it is now strapped to my left wrist. To review, within a four-year span, I lost my mom, my vision, my father-in-law and my husband…
