Inspired by the idea of revealing more about myself – I am going to veer from the normal posts today. I decided to make a list of some slightly random things you probably don’t know about me and you would have done just fine in life never having known. You know the basics of me…

Ode to 33 years!
We are coming upon our 33rd wedding anniversary. Who knew that a country girl from Colorado would meet up with an island boy and find her happily ever after? When we first met, I was a little wild to say the least. In fact, he calls our story The Taming of the Shrew and if…
Today I feel secure knowing that tomorrow is another day!

What sense of direction & who needs an energy ball?

Why do we wait until someone dies before we get to know them?
As I sat reading the newspaper obituaries today (old habit from working in a seniors centre), I got to thinking, why do we wait until someone dies before we get to know them? I used to work around senior citizens, working with them was a small portion of my job but my office was in…
