If you have been reading the blog for awhile, you have no doubt come across my post from a few years ago where I finally share the story of how both my children estranged themselves from me (If you missed it, you can read it here) Since the truth telling post, which was incredibly empowering to […]

Living Life Out Loud
It’s been a while since I’ve written a post here. Oh, there are many reasons for the delay. Back at the end of November, I finished the more than one-year process of writing my book- writing, editing, scrapping, and writing some more. You get the picture!

Caring for the Caregiver
Caring for the needs of a loved one is often incredibly rewarding.

Saving “Amy”
I recently saw the newly released documentary entitled “Amy” which stitches together home video, photographs, interviews and footage from Amy Winehouse’s hyper speed rise to fame and her struggles, successes and obstacles as she tried to navigate her life in the limelight. I cannot get this movie out of my mind. It’s not because of […]

That familiar whirling blur of anticipation, worry, hope and fear swirls in my gut. My palms sweat and my heart pounds faster. My mind races through what might happen this time, what might go wrong.
