Hi Resilient Readers! I truly believe that every day is a gift from God and that in each day there is some good, some ray of sunshine that we can cherish for its ability to warm us and reveal surprising acts of kindness, compassion and love.     For me, the goodness of today is that 25 years ago I became a Mom. God gave me and my husband the incredible gift of a wondrous baby boy and ever since his birth I have been on the adventure of a lifetime.  From the moment you were handed to me, I… Read More

A Birthday Reveal

I’ve had 10 birthdays since my husband died and yesterday was the first birthday I celebrated when I didn’t think of him once during the day. I am not telling you this to sound sad or to express joy.  No way. I write of this today to say it’s confusing.  I never thought it would happen.  I’m not sure what it means, if it means anything.  I didn’t even realize it happened until the end of the day when I was getting ready to go to sleep. I still miss him dearly but I guess I am also reporting in… Read More

It’s that time of year in my family. Time to celebrate the birthdays of my parents who are in their 80’s.  My Mom and Dad’s birthdays land on the calendar exactly a week apart so in the last few years my siblings and I have started celebrating their birthdays together in the interest of harmony, world peace and all that is holy. We know we are blessed to have our parents still with us and we definitely don’t take it for granted.  Not for one minute.  But sometimes it can be tricky in making sure that each birthday receives the… Read More

The Washington, DC weather on Saturday may have been rainy, foggy and dreary but it had  no affect on the atmosphere inside one cozy house in Northwest DC where it was bright, warm and full of happiness. Was this house in some kind of weather bubble? Yes it was because it was the site of a birthday party that my super duper spectacular friends gave for me and I can say without hesitation that it was the best birthday party ever!!  Talk about healing!  Wow!  I was feeling the love and it was totally through the stratosphere for me in… Read More

Today is a special day.  It’s my birthday and it’s also Elvis Presley’s birthday. Uh, Thank you. Uh, Thank you very much! I’m not wearing a tight white jumpsuit today or gold wired sunglasses and I’m not wearing my hair slicked back.  And I’m not suggesting that I can sing or act but I do find it  a lot of fun that Elvis and I share a birthday because as I was growing up it would always be in the news that Elvis was having a birthday on my birthday and of course his was always a bigger celebration! Elvis… Read More

Happy Birthday Love today to a Special Person in Heaven. The Birthday Boy was an abrupt-on-the-outside, marshmellow-on-the-inside kind of a guy who was my husband and my friend for 17 years plus.  He was an old school kind of Dad to five talented and fantastic children and took a HUGE amount of pride in his work as an award-winning reporter/writer. He never forgot his New Jersey roots, having been born and raised in Red Bank, and was a die hard Giants and Yankees fan.  He loved everything about New Jersey: the infamous jokes about exits, the rumble tumble way of… Read More
