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 [...]

Why I Watch the Oscars – Watch Red Carpet LIVE

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.  [...]

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 [...]

A 12-Year-Old and Valentine’s Day

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 [...]

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 [...]

In case you didn’t catch the messages last evening, Let Life Happen TALK launched its first internet broadcast at 8:00 p.m.  It was almost as much of a surprise to me as it is to you as Kirk did not tell me about it until late Friday afternoon after he had the whole thing all [...]

A Special Tribute to My Husband

January 22nd has become a very special day to me.  Not only is it the 2nd anniversary of writing my weekly blog but also I walked out of the doctor’s office yesterday after my final follow up after my reconstructive surgery.  I feel so free.  But, the next thing that came into my mind is [...]

Happy Anniversary to Me

Next Friday, January 22nd, will mark the 2nd anniversary of my writing this weekly blog.  Now while to many this may not seem to be any big accomplishment, it truly is a major milestone for me.  The main reason for that is that I came to this task kicking and screaming, in my own way.  [...]

As I headed back to work this week after the holiday season to start the New Year full of enthusiasm and visions and new goals, I was immediately met by a number of people who were doing nothing more than whining and groaning about all different facets of their lives and how miserable they were.  [...]

A Fabulous New Year

As I started preparations this morning for the return to work tomorrow for the first time in the New Year, I realized that I felt totally different than any time in my memory.  Now I have never been a big fan of New Year’s celebrations and the belief that the beginning of a new year [...]
