I had my grandson this weekend — I forgot how much a 4 year old can talk, as well as how you have to be careful what you say.
I had cooked dinner — we were having spaghetti.  I fixed Braiden’s plate and then fixed mine.  When I sat down to the table he said, “Grams, [...]

When I was younger, I ate healthly and had a work out routine, which I did almost every day.  This stopped a few years ago due to a back injury, as well as all the changes that were happening in my life.
I got out of the habit of “self-care.”  I have been examining what changed, and [...]

I was listening to Dr. Wayne Dyer on PBS and he said something that really made me stop and think, “When you change the way you look at things, the things you look at change.”
If I am “seeing” and focusing on the challenges in my business/life and what is not working then how does that [...]

Braiden is coming this weekend to spend some time with Grams and Granddad!  I went shopping for washable markers because he informed me the last time he stayed — they were best.
He always “camps” out in our room when he stays — we tried all sleeping in the same bed, but was quickly reminded of [...]

The game is played for 90 [...]

I felt “lost.”  But, how could I be lost?  I still had my husband, my daily life, routine — the only [...]

What do I do now?  My oldest son had moved out on his own.  My daughter only had two years before she would also be moving out to attend college.  I knew I needed to find something that I wanted to do, but what?  I didn’t have a clue. 
I worked when my oldest son was [...]

Even though I miss having my children being home, I’m now discovering the blessings of them being grown and on their own, the main one — Grandchildren!
I have an adorable little grandson, Braiden and a grandbaby that is due in December.  Braiden is such a joy! While babysitting him one day I took him with [...]

 I knew of “Empty Nest Syndrome” and how women have a really hard time when their children are getting ready to move out on their own.  I believe God gives us children to love and care for and teach them to be responsible adults.  I have never taken this responsibility lightly.
My Aunt Jan told me [...]
