This is a story with a moral. And the moral offers one easy New Year’s resolution that is guaranteed to make your life better. I mean it: Easy and Guaranteed. What more could you ask? Years ago, I was in a very bad situation with my job. My boss and I – after years …
I’m Going Big
From January 1, 2012. It’s AMAZING – I now have long(ish) blond hair and a lot more makeup. It’s just a matter of time before I’m vacationing with James Taylor! Every year for the last umpteen years, I make New Year’s Resolutions. I keep them modest, so that they are achievable. Pick up my …
O Christmas Pan!
Time for Christmas reruns…. Here’s my favorite Christmas story. To my husband’s chagrin, I tell it often. O CHRISTMAS PAN! I met my husband in November 1989. By Christmas we were pretty much living together. We weren’t kids – he was in his forties and I was thirty-eight. So we didn’t see much sense …
Better Than I Know Myself
There are certain words I love. When I was a little girl, I loved the word Mystical. It sounded beautiful – it sounded like what it meant. I loved Forsythia. Isn’t that a lyrical word? At the beginning of Spring, just hearing someone say Forsythia made me feel refreshed. As I got a little older, …

Remembering Miss America
I read today of the death of Mary Ann Mobley, the former Miss America. I wrote about her in February 2013. Back in 1959, She was the most beautiful woman my eight-year-old eyes had ever seen. Remembering that lovely woman and that hopeful child, Here’s that post: WHEN NINETEEN WAS FAR AWAY I’m sixty-two today. …
An Excerpt And A Good Deal
Because everyone likes a good deal, and a little freebie…here’s an excerpt from my novel, “Just What I Always Wanted.” And the good deal is that you can purchase the Kindle Edition on Amazon for just 99 cents through Sunday, Dec 14. *** “She’s home,” I whispered, though I didn’t know why I sounded guilty. …
Paranormal Prowess
I love Facebook quizzes. Where else can you learn what your Hippie name should be? Or what other people find attractive about you? Or who you were in a previous life? Or what type of vegetable is truly your soulmate? And who knew that all these important insights could be gleaned by answering a few …
Dancing
Some of my friends have been posting old photos on Facebook for Throw-Back Thursday. It’s really cool to see those old pictures. I especially enjoy the photos of my newer friends – so sweet to see them as the teenagers I didn’t know. Like a flashback in a movie. A time machine that gives you …
