I matured early as a child. By ten, I had boobs and by eleven my period had arrived. Throughout my teens I never kept track of my menstrual cycles as some of my classmates did, it came when it came and usually lasted a week or two. I had the sense then to think what…

Robin Williams Joins Comedy Giants Who Died Too Soon
Mine and my husband’s favorite comedian. There are no words to express the sense of loss we feel about this wonderful man. The world was a better place for him living in it, particularly during a time that we have film and video, so he may continue to live on, and our children’s children will…
The Power of Living
Having had a few near brushes with death, particularly the one I wrote about earlier, I came to reflect on my life. I almost drowned a three times, once in the bathtub when I was about six years old, and twice in the ocean in my ‘tween years when waves knocked me over and under…
An Inspiring Day
Today was quite a wonderful day! I was just in a really great mood all day, I had a spark of genius, and I laughed. A lot. It started early on today when I received an email invitation to participate in an teleconference over the weekend. Ordinarily this might cause trepidation, but the subject matter…
Am I A Book Butterfly?

Anywhere on social media there are always these images and memes reminding you that “No can make you feel inferior without your consent” or “Don’t let others steal your…
Finding Time to Keep on Task
I’ve noticed that whenever I decide to embark upon a new project, it seems as though the universe conspires to push as many obstacles as possible in my way. Bad weather, special work projects, family responsibilities, invitations to go out, the Winter Olympics, Scandal, Grey’s Anatomy, Revenge, the Internet, Facebook, anything really, that gets me…
Life’s Dance
Have you ever felt like you’re shaking all the time from a shot of adrenaline? I feel this stimulation that something’s going to happen, and I sure hope it’s a good thing! We take so much for granted everyday – a walk or drive down the street, to work, to school, to shop, yet there…
Imagine
Imagine – John Lennon Imagine there’s no Heaven It’s easy if you try No hell below us Above us only sky Imagine all the people Living for today Imagine there’s no countries It isn’t hard to do Nothing to kill or die for And no religion too Imagine all the people Living life in peace…
