No airplane flight has ever been boring for me. I hear stories and details from fellow passengers that make me think, surprise me at times but more often, they become fodder for my writing. Here is the latest one: “Oh, I was really hoping this would be the one,” the woman seated beside me in the …
“Ouch! Ouch!”…that’s what I wanted to say, but I couldn’t. My fault entirely. I let my routine teeth cleaning go beyond the six month. And although I’m the queen of flossing and teeth brushing, I paid a painful price at the dentist chair. There I was, mouth wide open, bib placed under my chin, and …
I just heard that Costa Rica is the place to go for a make-over of the body. You know those muffin tops? They can be gone now. Or if you want a little tuck here, a little fat removed from here, some added there. The whole body can be transformed. “And the price is incredibly …
“Goals for the new year? Are you kidding? My goal is just to survive another day,” my friend said. Can you almost feel her heavy heart? It’s a common thing.

Last Friday, I got dolled up. I even dabbed some lip gloss. Hubby and I headed to have our pictures taken for our church’s directory. He looked sharp in his black suit and I tried to look my best in my red dress. As we waited our turn, a friend came out from her session …

A hot summer afternoon in Orlando is perfect for a cold smoothie. I blend strawberries, bananas, pineapple, a touch of honey and almond milk. I place a glass full before my grands. Seated at the kitchen table, they wiggle in anticipation. After the first sip, they echo, “Hmmm…it’s yummylicious. Thank you, Nana.” Then with no warning, …
In defining our own life’s purpose, we outline our limitations. I got pretty excited to hear the latest video I created on YouTube. The theme was purpose for our lives.
