I am not going to lie, 2018 was something else. I cried a lot.  At times, I felt like tears were my trademark.  But on this last day of 2018, I am nothing but grateful.  I am grateful for every tear because according to my own timeline, they were not all bad!  Check it out……

This summer goes down in history as one of the greatest! I took a chance at traveling across the country by train.  I must say, the 80-hour journey from the great state of New York to sunny California was nothing shy of amazing.  I saw America from behind the scenes and boy was it beautiful. …

Without fail, my son Joshua will fall asleep in the car. I’m not talking about the peaceful kind of rest where you gently lean your head over to the side and wait to arrive at your destination. I mean the deep sleep where your mouth hangs open, you’ve worked up a sweat, and your body…

Scene: A feel good moment where a group of women are huddled together and jumping around in circles while laughing and crying with tears of the joy!

Never in a million years did I think I would treat myself to a morning run. A massage or a meal, yes, but intentional exercise has never been my idea of a good time.  After about two weeks of pushing my body to the limit, I dared to step on a scale.  I expected to…

The kids and I went to a nature preserve last month for my son’s 9th birthday. Being the only one with a warm-weather birthday, Joshua insisted that we explore the outdoors as a part of his celebration.  I had been to the trails before, so I anticipated a good two hours of walking. Consequently, I set my alarm for three o’clock to give us plenty of time to sightsee, head back to the car, and…

I had this horrible habit of engaging the emergency brake every time I parked my car. The problem was that I would make it halfway down the street before remembering to release it.  Rumor had it, that I didn’t have to engage the brake at all except on steep inclines. It never occurred to me…

Ode to February, the month where many celebrate Valentine’s Day. Couples plan romantic evenings and singles combine their efforts to honor each other. Even the children get in on the action as schools host Daddy/Daughter dances and boys bring superhero cards to pass out to their friends.
