Earlier this year felt really busy for me. Then we started hearing reports about a weird virus in China; why worry, it’s the other side of the world. Suddenly, it was here! And we needed to hunker down, stay home, and don’t go ANYWHERE! No restaurants, no haircuts, no shopping. Stay home. And if you […]

I was discussing with my family what to write for a blog today, and my wonderful husband pointed me to three blogs I have already written on “that topic.” So, HAPPY FATHERS DAY to all the Dads who read this, and blessings to those of us who have Dads to turn to! I wish you […]

Hello and welcome to week 16 of the corona virus! How are you? My life has taken some twists and turns this week, and I did not have time to write the blog I wanted to write for you. So, I decided to share with you this writing, which I created for one of my […]

This pandemic has changed, probably permanently, some parts of our lives. And it is scary. And it is emotionally horrible to watch our loved ones die without being able to be with them. Lots of us have lost jobs and some of us have had to make major changes in our work and home lives. […]

This pandemic has gone on long enough for most of us to be hurt, grieving, and/or exhausted. The weather is awful and the fear is huge. So, as I began this blog, I really struggled with what to write about. For many of us, our food choices easily become unhealthy. So, I decided to give […]

Sometimes it feels like there is another person who lives in my brain; she talks to me and often says rude things. Once in a while, she has a good suggestion, but 99% of the time, she is angry and insulting. Mostly I need to tell her to go away and be quiet. But once […]
