The weather today is like the morning I woke up blind. Dark as night and scary as hell.
Everybody’s Working ON The Weekend
People think that when you don’t work outside the home, that your life is one perpetual weekend. When I worked, I thought the same thing. You know what I’ve discovered? It’s absolutely true! Here’s the catch. It’s not the going-to-the-beach or to-the-ski-slopes (season dependent) or long-drive-with-the-top-down weekend. It’s the cleaning…
A Tale Of Two Lives
Prior to the world meeting Caitlyn Jenner, I heard someone say to Bruce that he will get to live two lives in one lifetime. This has stayed with me, and I was thinking about it yesterday. I believe I now know why it struck a chord. I had one life…
Blog-Ready
I have been attending many of my nephew’s little league games, and one thing I keep hearing the parents and coaches telling their boys is to be “baseball-ready”. Little league is about more than baseball, life lessons are folded into a game that they love. I need to be blog-ready,…

A Par-fect Day
My husband and I spent the day with our 9-year-old nephew. It was a beautiful summer day and the boys spent some time at the batting cages and then we all played a round of miniature golf. I had not played mini golf in ten years and although I had…
The Universe Can Be A Brat
I was recently at an event with a mix of family, friends and strangers, where people came and went throughout the day. At one point, a very close friend arrived unbeknownst to me, and was talking to someone else, about five feet from me. When we both looked at each…
