A Love Note for Mom

I have several book titles. My favorite is called: “A Mother’s Kiss” It’s about how Love can heal anything and everything. Especially if it comes in the form of a Mother’s Love. Nothing is better than this. This is a work in progress as there is much to share about Mi Mama. So, to begin in brief ...

Thoughts on Margie

She’s 95 and she's got a Life


Margie doesn’t let time just go by without sharing her appreciation for it All. She lives in the moment. (to be continued)

Wisdom and Grace

It’s been a delight to witness and experience my Mom growing into her own. Her capacity to learn and change astonishes me. Like her flowers, Mama is in constant bloom. Always renewing herself. Ever the student, she loves to learn new things and is interested in you, where you come from and how you feel.

Mi Mama

My role model. My best friend. I can only aspire to be like Mi Mama as I become an elder. I admire her more than any other woman I’ve known, or have known about. Mama; she’s timeless, energetic, bright, funny and fun. She’s sharp as a wizard. And, she’s got my back. Her Light shines as bright as the sparkle in her sky blue eyes. If you know her, you cannot help but smile when Margie comes to mind. It’s no wonder why my Dad fell in love with her when he was a star football player, and she a college student at Meredith College for Women.

"No Brief Candle"

Every morning I look for inspiration to keep myself on the right track. The "right track" for me is the one I find myself on when I am in appreciation and feeling content. Happiness can find me there, and the joy of feeling like I've got a purpose in this life.

This quote came in my mail this morning as another beautiful reminder of how I want my life to be lived. Enjoy:

“This is the true joy in life, the being used for a purpose recognized by yourself as a mighty one; the being a force of nature instead of a feverish selfish clod of ailments and grievances complaining that the world will not devote itself to making you happy. I am of the opinion that my life belongs to the whole community and as long as I live it is my privilege to do for it whatever I can. I want to be thoroughly used up when I die, for the harder I work, the more I live. I rejoice in life for it's own sake. Life is no 'brief candle' to me. It is sort of a splendid torch which I have a hold of for the moment, and I want to make it burn as brightly as possible before handing it over to future generations."
~George Bernard Shaw
