Hi there! I’ve always wanted to go visit Nashville, Tennessee. I fell in love with downtown Franklin, Tennessee a few years ago while attending a business seminar. I remember thinking it was so charming. From walking around the square to tasting the yummy southern food, shopping in the adorable boutiques, and meeting the kindest… Read more »
Hello! Hope you had a wonderful Memorial Day weekend! My daughter, Ellie, and I had a blast! We swam, ate good food, and spent quality time with family from all over the country who came to town this weekend for a family reunion. I so wished my late grandmother, Alice, and my late Aunt… Read more »

Last week was a really difficult week for my family. My aunt (my dad’s older sister), Betsy, passed away from complications with COPD. She’d been battling COPD for years and, after this last hospital stay, her lungs could no longer take the stress. I’m thankful I was able to be by her side during… Read more »
Hello! Hope you’re off to a great week so far. Today I want to share some exciting news with you! As I’ve expressed in previous posts, 2017 was by far my most challenging year since losing my husband, Andrew, four and a half years ago. Denial was gone and grief hit hard. I got… Read more »
Hi There! I’m writing to you from 35,000 feet in the air, having finally gotten on standby after spending hours at John Wayne Airport in Anaheim, California, hoping to catch a flight home to Dallas after my original flight was cancelled due to bad weather. Been there? By the time you read this, I’ll… Read more »
