all or nothing

It’s amazing the perspective you gain when you get older. At least that’s one positive thing about getting older! I have found that I have totally changed my view of the world from all or nothing to shades in between. I suppose the this all or nothing was necessary while I was attending a very […]

power of music

My biggest regret in life is that I never learned to play a musical instrument. Looking back, I don’t think I would have had the patience to learn one. As I’ve gotten older, I’ve really learned to appreciate the good things in life and music is one of them. My first introduction to music was […]

lessons learned from baking pies

Okay, I’ll admit it, I was going to do a funny blog post about baking pies for Thanksgiving. Whenever I attempt to bake something, there’s plenty of things to laugh about.

love and gratitude

How many times have you uttered the phrase, “if only . . .” When I was working, I would say, “if only I had more time so that I could exercise more and eat healthier.” Now that I’m caring for my Mom and doing volunteer work, I say, “if only I had more work to […]
