This is on my mind at this beginning of December. I want to take my time when writing this piece because it is important to me. I begin by saying I am sorry for my choices. But sorry is not enough. No one ever knows the best way to be a parent. I did not. Continue reading “DECEMBER PONDERINGS”

FROM PARIS WITH LOVE
Some days I am filled with energy and others are very lethargic. Today is not so hot after a wonderful day yesterday. So, let’s both grab a cup of coffee. That helps to give us a break. And coffee goes with everything in Paris. This week I have been pondering a lot of things –Continue reading “FROM PARIS WITH LOVE”
SHIFTS AND CHANGES – CHAPTER 10
Well, this was the week from Hell and back. I am reeling from shock about “better days ahead” and trying to understand what just happened. In addition, I have had a cold (not Covid) all week. On antibiotics. With Laryngitis. I don’t know where to start. This may be a two-parter because I have soContinue reading “SHIFTS AND CHANGES – CHAPTER 10”
ON VACATION IN PARIS, AUGUST 2021!
HELLO, AUGUST,2021!! I thought you would never get here. Frankly, I love September. But August is full of surprises for me. I “remember” 2 wedding anniversaries, 5 birthdays of important people in my FORMER life, and one VIP death. So, I am up and then I am down. Let’s share and walk down memory lane,Continue reading “ON VACATION IN PARIS, AUGUST 2021!”
JUST FOR FUN – NO COMMENT COMMENTARY
Today is June 20, 2021, Father’s Day, the longest day of the year, and the beginning of Cancer (my rising sign), so I am a happy camper. First of all, a SHOUT OUT to my two sons, Craig and Blake, for being good fathers in spite of their lack of training or a good exampleContinue reading “JUST FOR FUN – NO COMMENT COMMENTARY”
AUGUST (sigh)
August 2020. August has become a difficult month for me. “Bittersweet”. I think that is the correct use of that word. First of all, it was full of birthdays when I was growing up. Lots of good friends had birthdays in August. As my friends and I have grown apart through the years, I beganContinue reading “AUGUST (sigh)”
MEET LILLIAN! – Revised!
MEET LILLIAN. Who? Why? Lillian is on my mind this week. She was my aunt. My mother’s sister. I wrote about her over last weekend, but that post was too long, and Lillian “got lost in the shuffle.” So, now, Lillian has a post of her own! She matters because she mattered. A woman beforeContinue reading “MEET LILLIAN! – Revised!”
ALIVE IN MY HEART! LILLIE!
This week, I have had a lot of friends reach out to me. Great. Because it is rather bleak in this small apartment in Paris. I have my favorite songs playing on Spotify; Missy is close by; and a lot of projects in the works, so I stay busy. AND, I have WiFi (FINALLY) andContinue reading “ALIVE IN MY HEART! LILLIE!”
THROUGH MY EYES …..
Those who know me know that I am not afraid of change. And, of late, I have been craving change of location – namely Paris. So as I begin the process of tackling all the matters that must be handled prior to a move, I found this post on Facebook. It makes sense to meContinue reading “THROUGH MY EYES …..”
“THREE YEARS LATER – Remembering…
I know. I know. I said I was not going to write anything today. And, here I am. But, I have some thoughts that I want to share. Plus, writing brings me comfort. And, if you find this a tad “schmaltzy” (is that a word…), thank you in advance for bearing with me. Three yearsContinue reading ““THREE YEARS LATER – Remembering…”
