Everyday there is something to learn, something to be thankful for, something to let go of and something to be wrong about. Today I took four framing orders that I didn’t think would happen. The reason I didn’t think they would happen is because the art being framed would have easily fit into frames off…

Sometimes things just don’t go right. Sometimes all the things you just put up with bug you more than usual. I didn’t understand any of this when my ex-husband went through it and it took me several years to understand why he was almost impossible to tolerate every year in August. He wasn’t a bad…

Request addressed. What does this mean? I’m sure your mildly curious. I would be simply because I’m that type of person. I wonder what happened. There must have been something wrong. Isn’t it amusing just how inquisitive our minds can be? We’re fed a small dose of information and our mind fills in the rest…

Everyone embarks on their very own individual journey.  We’re created, we develop and the very second we’re born, our adventure begins.  We begin to learn and grow from the very moment our birth is recorded and there are no two journeys exactly the same.  It’s really quite remarkable, when you take the time to think,…

Often times I’ve heard people say holidays are when they miss their loved ones in Heaven the most.

Isn’t it sad, just how “unthankful” we can become? Don has sent me flowers at work for Valentine’s Day the last two years I have lived here. When I was living in SD he didn’t know quite how to get flowers to me in the remote area I was living so I received a beautiful…

I’m not sure how grief affects you but for me it happens in spurts.  Once the initial loss has occurred it takes a while before the shock dissipates.  Eventually you find yourself attempting to put “normal” back into your vocabulary and do whatever you can to make each new day feel like it used to.…

Although I’ve had a tough time getting back into writing on a regular basis, I want you all to know I am still inspired by all the magic in this world.  I avoid the news as much as possible as I am learning that in this one and only life we live, we are responsible…

I’ve never been easy to surprise.  It’s almost as if,  for most of my life, I’ve had a sixth sense about plans being made to surprise me.  It may be partially due to the fact that my mother couldn’t keep a secret if she knew it was going to make someone happy.  Wrapped presents were…
