How does it happen? We start out - young couples in love…my God we are so perfect! Our partners see Heaven in our Eyes for we are Angels sent to rescue, to lift up, to guide, to inspire and to love. It’s all so glowy & soft-focus. How beautiful! I sigh..I am floating - I […]

I was thinking about middle-aged women and new careers. Do middle-aged women discover themselves and new careers because of burgeoning empty nests….or…..do they create new “selves” and develop careers because they are bored.
Listen – not everyone who has been married for 20-something years still feels that same “zing”, if you will. But that isn’t to […]
I think Forgiveness is a tremendously over looked life-raft. I don’t think people realize how freeing saying “I forgive you” is. Even if you don’t say it face to face – even if it’s only said in the dark of the middle of the night…if you mean it – it will free you in way […]

My teenage son just told me to Hush Up.

That’s what the badge I earned for surviving the Girl Guides Fall Camping experience this past weekend says “Crazy for Camping” – the crazy part is definitely right. After last spring’s torrential rain storm of a camp out (we were in tents, remember?) I said I’d pull my eyelashes out one by one, before I […]

Why is the back seat of my car a tiny twilight zone? Kids have been climbing into my back seat for almost 20 years and once safely strapped in, seem to propel us all into an alternate universe. I’ve heard kindergarteners discuss the unfairness of priests not being allowed to be nuns, arguments over which […]

As a preschool teacher and daycare educator I can work (over the course of a day) with approximately 70 different children. That adds to to a lot of different personalities! Do I get tired of kids? You know what? No – not really. I know it sounds crazy, but I find something funny and amazing […]

This process is very interesting to me. When I was a young woman, I had fallen in love a couple of times and I fell in love each time one of my children was born(different of course but still a rush) and I fell in love with my wonderful husband almost 25 years ago.
Intellectually I […]
