Lift shifting…

We have all had things happen that changed our lives for better or worse.  Birth of a child, death of a loved one, landing that perfect job, moving to a new home, etc.  Maybe you didn’t actually FEEL like your life was shifting, but it was. I have felt it several times starting with my […]

So many decisions!

What a difference a year makes!  Last year at this time, I was recovering from surgery and waiting for the lab results that would change my life forever. This year, I am starting to plan a kitchen remodeling project and a possible bucket list trip.  For the record, refinancing the mortgage may have been one […]

Start Living Your Best Life

I’m in sort of a reflective mood this weekend.   My mom’ s birthday is coming up on Tuesday the 19th and that always makes me take stock of where I am in life.  She would have been 73 this year but she passed away in April 2009 after battling colon cancer for a couple […]

Traveling Solo

Otter Point in Acadia National Park Yes, it’s true – single people can travel and not die from embarrassment.  Honest.
