I don’t even know where to start. But it’s always good to start with gratitude – and I’m filled with it. It’s been 50 days. In these 50 days, our sweet Edison has seen many doctors, has had many tests, has taught a lot of nurses how to calm him, taught his momma and Nana […]
My baby is having a baby. Those were the words I cried with her the day we found out and that fetal monitor was hooked up. For the few hours prior, we were all in shock. But I run in to that emergency room and suddenly hear that heartbeat and I can’t stop crying. “My […]
Prior to the pandemic, I was in my stylist’s chair for hours every 5 weeks. Every three months the process of highlighting was even longer. For YEARS prior, my husband and daughter tried to convince me to go gray. They said it would be amazing. (My son wisely said once after being asked if he […]
Ma, Goodness….it’ll be 20 years since you’ve left this world. But did you really? I can still feel your heart beat when I remember resting my head on your chest. I can still feel your hands when you reached to give me your touch. I hear your words, the accent, the tones. Yeah, you had […]

In my Facebook memories are beautiful moments of travel (damn – I was in Hawaii and Connecticut and Virginia), of studio workshops and member comments, of company at my house, of my kids here of dogs playing. During this pandemic it’s easy to look back and think, life’s all broken now. Will I ever […]
We walk in to WW because we want something. We might want a new clothing size, a lower cholesterol, fewer pains in our joints, to be healthier, or even to be an example to our kids. BBQ, candy, cookies, bread – all are on the plan with WW. There is no cheating since nothing is […]
Over Christmas dinner, my extended family were talking about this commercial or that one and I looked at my husband and realized… hmmm. Haven’t seen ANY of those! I’m somewhat thrilled that the times now that I watch TV, it’s usually recorded or on a streaming service. I rarely see commercials. But I can guarantee […]
12 years ago I didn’t pick up a prescription for a statin. 12 years ago my husband knew to take pictures of me “chest up”. 12 years ago I found myself staring in to a Costco size bag of UTZ potato chips finding it empty and that I ate them all. 12 years ago I […]
As many of you know, I lost my weight .2 and .4 a week. People ask me now, “How were you not frustrated?” My answer? “Who said I wasn’t frustrated?” “But how did you not quit?” Aaahhh – that’s the question. How do you not quit when you’re frustrated? How do you have an amazing […]
