October 3, 2022: Last week I wrote my last “official” blog – Time To Say Goodbye. The responses from people were overwhelming and I cried with each note of support and appreciation.

I bought this wall hanging about 4 years ago, and placed it with my pictures from Hawaii, Bora Bora, France and St. Maarten, as a reminder to never stop creating adventures in my life. It is one of the few household items I brought with me to St. Croix 2 years ago. Be Careful What […]
Read MoreWell, it’s been about 600 days. 600 days or 14,400 hours or 864,000 minutes. That’s how long Jerry and I have been together – 24/7. I wrote a blog last year marking 365 days because that was a pretty remarkable record for me. And here we are, 14,400 hours later, and I still think he’s […]

Read MoreLiving The Dream Four years ago when I uprooted my life to move from Kansas City, MO to San Diego, I wrote a series of blogs called Living the Dream to chronicle my decision to leave my home of 25 years and start a new life. It’s been a good run and a decision I […]
Read MoreYes! It’s true. It’s been 3 years since I uprooted my life after 20+ years in Kansas City to move to Southern California and a year since my last update on “living the dream.” The past 18 months have been jam-packed with wide ranging experiences and a stark contrast to my first 18 months here.
