“If I have seen further than others, it is by standing upon the shoulders of giants.” ~ Isaac Newton Lately the word team has been all around me.

A sister is a gift to the heart, a friend to the spirit, a golden thread to the meaning of life. — Isadora James I recently came back from a rare opportunity to spend the weekend with my sister and 2 of her dear friends from childhood. As we all laughed and talked about topics […]

“No matter what age you are, or what your circumstances might be, you are special, and you still have something unique to offer. Your life, because of who you are, has meaning.” ~ Barbara De Angelis I have been busy lately. We have all been busy lately. Everyone I talk to right now is busy. […]

“A friend is one who knows you and loves you just the same” ~ Elbert Hubbard How can I thank you enough Cyndi Lauper for this anthem, for it could not be more true, and while fun means different things at different times in your life, often the fun is in just being with those […]

As I am about to see my closest friends from childhood, I could not be more excited. Although it won’t be all of 8 of us, we are  all together in spirit (M, A, K, J, T, N, S & K!)  For all of you that are lucky enough to carry friends from your past […]
