This Love Seems Cray Cray!
I am still enjoying all the graduation and award photos being posted by proud parents and grandparents. But let’s be real! Those parents deserve plenty of acclamation! Their photos should be posted for the sacrifices they made in getting their children here: so much time commitment with car rides, early morning lunch prep, nightly homework…
Congrats Grads 🎈🎈Oh the Places You Will Go!
I have thoroughly enjoyed the photos of kindergartners to college graduates, along with the accolades that you moms and dads, friends and family members have been posting.

From SHE – Girls Night Out and the preceding blogs preceding this one. 5. Everyone must discover their identity.

The Great Multiplier – Little Can Be Very Much
In our daily text or voice conversations, my daughter continues to tell me about her flourishing vegetable garden (seen here). She called me yesterday to give me an update! I had to see for myself!

My Deep Well is Overflowing
Friday night, I was a panel of one for a “Girls Night Out” event at church. It was to be a 19-minute “Talk with Nana”. Me being a widow and me having a vast storage of content inside me needing to be released, meant I had to withhold so much inside me. Some of that…
ENOUGH Already!
Ever said these words? “I’ve had it!” “Enough is enough!” “I can’t take it anymore!” “I’ve had ENOUGH!” “ENOUGH already!” ENOUGH (in the context of “had enough”): outraged, tired, sick, weary, disappointed, fed up, up to here, teed off We’ve all been there – to the crushing point of exhaustion. We’ve long stood for an…
