Spring Fever
I can’t seem to focus on a single thing today. I keep looking out the window and seeing the bright sunshine and am so excited that this is the first time in 5 weekends that it hasn’t rained. I know that the temperatures are suppose to be around 80 degrees for the next few days and we are now back to daylight savings time and I am just bursting with excitement and ready to head outdoors. Next weekend, we will be attending a family wedding and Easter is just a couple of weeks away. And the official start of Spring ...
Help Others – Tell Your Story
One of the single most important things that I have learned since writing my very first blog is that by telling my story, I am helping other people who have been or currently are in the same circumstances that I have experienced. I have also learned that once other people read or heard your story and know that others have been down the same road and survived, they know that they are not alone and that there are other people out there who are willing to provide support for them. The amazing thing that you will also find is that ...
Cancer: Helping Others
As I concluded a second Let Life Happen radio broadcast last evening on the subject about “how did you react when someone told you that they had cancer”, I wanted to thank each and every person who posted a comment or shared a story on this subject. As we all know, that is a really hard subject with which to deal and I received such a great response that it made it necessary to do two shows on this subject in order to cover so many variations. As I indicated in that show, I shared a marvelous piece that I used for reference ...

As I sit here watching the first of many pre-Oscar shows, I couldn’t help but wonder why I was drawn to this event. I really don’t care who wins those statuettes as I think that is more important for the industry people making the decisions about who they want to hire for their next movies. I will watch the opening for the pure enjoyment of... [Read more]
As the closing ceremonies are now just hours away, I can’t help but continue to ponder on these Olympic games and the effect that they have had on me. I have watched and enjoyed and appreciated the games every 4 years since I was a little girl. But this year, things are different and in some ways so much more special and meaningful to me. Or...

In last week’s blog, I requested that you share your stories with me so that I could share them with others as a way of letting everyone know that regardless of what you have lived in your life, there are others who have shared the same experience. In the midst of all of the stories that I received from so many different sources was the one from... [Read more]
