Today marks four years since I lost my sweet daddy. His death knocked the breath out of me, even still today. One of my calls today was a listening call so I jumped out for a walk. I put on my rain jacket and hat since it was raining a little bit. I was pretty …
How often have you heard, or even said yourself, “life is short” ? Trust me. It is. Last week I read on Facebook someone posted about a death of a person I knew. I was in shock. I reached out to two mutual friends. They hadn’t heard and I don’t think they believed me. (One …
I traveled for work again and I nearly felt all my hard work two weeks prior were wasted. I immediately got back at walking again the day after I got home. Diet is coming back slowly. Eating right while stuck in an airport or living in a hotel is quite difficult. And yet here I …
If you’re an Alan Jackson fan or just know country music, than the title of this blog needs no other explanation. Welcome the mighty Midwest, home of HHH - hazy, hot, and humid. This girl will never complain. I’m solar-powered and need this for full functionality. (I learned that from one of my coworkers.) I …

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 …
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 …
