Happy 2023 All,

As we start a new year, let’s focus on the blessings in our lives. The love of family, a career, or even a pet… New beginnings are always the best way to do better than yesterday. To love better, laugh more, and be more present in the moment at hand. Don’t worry about what tomorrow will hold because the truth is tomorrow is not even a certainty for itself.

So when you look at everything around you and make resolutions, I challenge you to add LOVE to the top of that list. We all face hardships at one point or another in life, but Love in all its forms can get us through them if we choose to stay focused on the good and not only the bad.

Happy New Year to you and yours :-)

Hello there Fall

With the sound of kids back at school, or crushing leaves beneath our shoe, the miles we travel for fun filled events, and simple pleasure in pumpkin spice scents — no matter the time of day or night, the falling leaves are sure a sight.

Whatever you do, wherever you go, you’ll always find a reason to enjoy the fall season.

Happy Season :-)

Summer’s here!

With so many places to visit, friends to meet, and new books to read… Summer’s always best by the beach. As the sound of waves swish close by and the sun hangs high in the sky I almost wish it wouldn’t end.

But then that would mean — no pumpkin spice latte’s or amber colored leaves, no hay rides or pumpkin carving ‘til a child’s heart is pleased. If we only had summer we would miss the beauty of change that takes place all around us. Whether it is in someone’s heart, or the trees preparing to go bare, the fall brings just as much beauty everywhere. So while the summer blooms new friendships, and romance remember that it’s just another season of adventure to laugh, love and live in.

I hope you enjoy it as much as I do!

Happy summer!

Someone once asked me - What was my favorite book of all time?

The truth is, I don’t have one. I’ve read a vast number of authors and I find myself intrigued by what they put out there. Of course I do have favorite writers, but it doesn’t stop me from trying something new. If we limit ourselves to having ONE favorite book, then we will never experience the different perspectives of love, betrayal, relationships, or drama. And we will never open up our minds to the differences we all bring to the platform.

I love to sit down and lose myself in a story. I learned my love for reading from my mother. She read to us when we were little and the way she brought characters to life through dramatic voice and expressions took me to another world.

Thank you Mom for instilling a love for reading.
