Last fall I wrote about seasons of change and how leaves die off, only to reproduce new growth in the spring. Well..here it is now spring. The last few months have been even tougher than the few months prior, but my new leaves are starting to sprout. Beautiful trees are blooming. Photo on Pexels.com That …
Today has been 13 years since Chubs died. Will this be a lucky year? Chubs was the first to pass from our immediate family. There are times when scents or songs take you to a moment with your loved one gone. I know when I smell Chantilly powder, it takes me right to my sweet …
Are we hours away from 2020 being over? Can we say "Hindsight 20/20" and really mean it? I'm over this year. This will be my final post till 2021. If I were a betting woman, I would bet 100 out of 100 people would say they are over this year, as well. How could a …
How do I sum up my Christmas this year? I would have to say it's as close enough to perfect as it could be compared to the year I have had. My niece, Miss Priss, as I have called her since she was born, and I reunited this year with my brother's (her dad) cancer …

I can't believe tomorrow will be three weeks since Jim passed. I miss my brother more than I ever imagined. We talked every single day for so long. Even last night I saw something I wanted to ask him about...I went as far as pulling out my phone to text. As soon as I saw …
This morning (9/21/20) I lost my job. I knew for a couple months I was going to, but I just didn't know exactly what date I would be fired. Folks on the outside looking in may not realize how important my job was to me. I never expressed it, but it was the toughest and …
Took a few days to step away from reality and escape to the mountains. Escape can be good for the soul. While I know reality was still on my mind, I felt I wasn't in the eye of the storm at the time. I kept sending my brother daily texts to make sure he was …
I hate when Mother's Day approaches being a motherless daughter. This year is a double whammy to me. My mom's birthday falls on Mother's Day this year. My heart just can't take that. I was going to wait on writing a blog for that day, but figured I would get my thoughts out now and …
