May you be fueled for the journey and inspired to move ahead. If you can find the strengthContinue reading “IF”

Dreams Come True

Quite often I drive on the road to Magic Kingdom. There is a sign that boldly declares ‘ Where Dreams Come True’. I must admit I cringe every time someone asks me to take them there. Maybe I’m getting old[er]😁! However, I love to watch the delight on the faces of people when they enterContinue reading “Dreams Come True”

I Don’t Anymore

This is what I consider a ‘feel good Friday’ post. Reflecting on how I have ‘evolved’ over the years. There are somethings I just don’t do anymore.

Prepare Me

Recently I had chat with a friend of mine who has been married for over thirty years. She mentioned how beautiful marriage was with all it’s challenges.

Back in my old stomping ground for a quick visit. Watching the city that never sleeps ‘wake up’, from my son’s high-rise apartment. I love the ‘Big Apple’ for more reasons than one. I may chat about that at another time. What I want to focus on is that message in the window. I getContinue reading “Let Go”

I’m Sure I didn’t

The older I get the more time seems to fly. It truly waits for no one. Moments come and go so quickly. One has to be intentional about seizing the moments. This picture was taken on the day I graduated from high school a few decades ago. These are two of my gal pals thatContinue reading “I’m Sure I didn’t”

The Road Ahead

This is my last post dedicated to our graduates. A season has ended and now you are moving into an unknown tomorrow. I remember the words of a great educator who influenced my life as a teenager in college , ‘never confuse the beginning with the end’. This is the beginning of a ride thatContinue reading “The Road Ahead”

Did I ?

I took this picture a few years ago as I sat in a classroom waiting for students to arrive. If I remember well, it was a group I was meeting for the first time. Yesterday, I stared at the picture and wondered about those students who graced the walls of this room. Those who satContinue reading “Did I ?”
