Today I became officially “in the spirit” for Christmas.  I’ve been struggling this year. It’s been a year of great loss and change and my heart has felt very “Bah Humbug”… Continue reading #ftf -“The Most Wonderful Lunch Of The Year!”

Women of all different ages and phases of life.  I love that I know that I can learn from all of them. My friend, Erin, is a… Continue reading #ftf – Erin

If you need to catch-up, I shared about the death of my sweet friend starting here…and today I’m writing about how we, a #tribe of now FOUR women, honored her together. Sheri’s Memorial Service was held at our church and was a beautiful celebration of her life as well as the truth that she was now with… Continue reading #sheri – (Part 3) #fiveOverFiftyFOREVER

#backToSchool – “Mrs. Hans”

Often the “Memories” that facebook kindly reminds you of can be really bittersweet.  Some pictures take you back to the exact moment you took it… I remember this like it was 2 minutes ago and it makes my tummy hurt a little just thinking about it. This was the original post that went with the picture: In our… Continue reading #backToSchool – “Mrs. Hans”

#sheri – (Part 2)

Yesterday I processed through some thoughts on the death of my sweet friend, Sheri. To get caught up: feel free to click here. Sheri died on a Tuesday (which our #tribe all thought was appropriate because that has always been “our day” to meet/gather). It was crazy to think about what she was experiencing that morning –… Continue reading #sheri – (Part 2)

Sheri has been part of my #tribe and a close personal friend for many years.  We have been in each other’s lives for almost two decades, but have truly “done life together” on a deep and intimate… Continue reading #Sheri (part 1)

#homeAlone – July 2019

It’s been a crazy couple of months in our home (I know – “When is it not?” .  So maybe I should say “crazier”?). Anyway – Since March, Tom and I have moved and tried to settle into a new home…and our daughter and grandson have come with us.  While that’s not a surprise to… Continue reading #homeAlone – July 2019

#ftf – “Favorite Things Friday” (just some of my most favorite things – shared on a day I can actually write/document them!) I’ve often shared that I grew up always wanting a sister.

#WelcomeToOurNewHome – April 27, 2019

It’s a Saturday morning and I’m home ALONE for a few hours. My sweet man is off serving a family in need of some yard/house maintenance with a group of people from our church and I was laying in bed two hours after he left.  While many people would struggle with feeling “guilt” – quite… Continue reading #WelcomeToOurNewHome – April 27, 2019
