A Work In Progress
When I was a little girl growing up in New Jersey, my mother did quite a bit of sewing. I can remember, at a very early age, standing at the sewing machine and watching her sew. I loved to watch the needle going up and down and listen to the machine hum along as the fabric […]
A Mother’s Legacy
I think one thing we can all agree on is that people have their favorite foods. I am sure there are many for each individual person and it is hard to name just one, but we can pick and choose categories such as meats, vegetables, grains, et cetera. One of my all time favorite foods is homemade soup. No […]
Go West Young Man
Back in the spring of 1993, I began saving up money to take a trip up north for an extended summer vacation with an old friend. I had been there the previous summer with my three children for a two week period of time and we loved every minute of it. We journeyed from New Jersey to […]
An Aching Jawbone
I am generally a pretty upbeat person. It does not take a whole lot of coaxing to get me going in my routine and daily duties. I like to be busy and productive and ,God knows, I have plenty to do. There are, however, some things that really bring me down if I let them. Strained relationships […]
Bread Etiquette

(In a sincere effort to write something a bit less plain and blunt, I am going to choose a topic that needs a lot of imagination and recall to describe to the reader. Since I need my writing to be about real life experiences, I have chosen my summer bike rides which I miss very much. Here […]
Work Is Work Is Work.
When I was 24 years old, I gave birth to my third child. At the time, we owned our own home, but circumstances in my husband’s business forced us to sell the home and move to an apartment. The rent was more than what we had been paying for the house and with some major changes in employment […]
An Obvious Conclusion
I am NOT a jealous person at all, but last night, I’m pretty sure I went to bed with that old, green monster tapping on my brain. It really was a strange feeling. I am a very deep thinker and a truly genuine person, so when such feelings bearing the title of ‘jealous’ pop around, […]
A Dream Fulfilled
So….I have been contemplating the act of fitness workouts in general. If you are like me, you may have always dreamed of having a fancy gym membership. Who is not conscious of their health and fitness ?(or lack there of) Well, most people head for the local gym and commit to some sort of plan at considerable cost. […]
Inspiration
Inspiration. Everyone needs it. Everyone gives it. Some wait patiently for it while others have a seemingly endless supply. Whether you realize it or not, you are inspiring others. Some are inspired to imitate you while others may be inspired to avoid you. It is possible to inspire others in the negative sense while simultaneously […]
