Have our electronic devices separated us from each other so much that it’s now normal to text people about a loved one’s death?Has it become routine to attend the funeral of a friend or a loved one and start snapping selfies?Why would someone let their cellphone ring during a funeral service and then answer it and continue talking?We are in a strange state of communications today.
The first time I saw a selfie taken at a funeral I have to say I was really shocked.
I didn’t know the young girl in the picture but she tweeted a picture of … Read More
Something To Think About. . . . . . .
Every little thing you do adds up,
and before you know it,
you’ve created your life.
And how you create your life
ripples out and effects everyone
and everything that crosses your path,
known or unknown to you.

Something as simple as the day of the week can make me happy.
I didn’t even work five days this week because Washington, DC got so much snow on Monday that the federal government shut down, the buses weren’t running and just like that, I had the day off.
Still, today is Friday and that feels soooooo great! The grind of this week is almost over and the weekend is within sight.
Friday evening is one of the best feelings in the world, don’t you think?
You’ve just finished working through one work week and now the whole incredible weekend… 
One of my sisters and I were talking on the phone the other day about the tragic news that fashion designer L’Wren Scott had been found dead in her New York City apartment at the age of 49.
We talked about what the news stories were reporting — that she had used a scarf to hang herself, that she designed such beautiful, beautiful clothes, that she was so glamorous herself and that she was the longtime girlfriend of Mick Jagger of The Rolling Stones.
More importantly, we reiterated to each other that no matter what was happening to us, we… 
Aging. Knowing that it’s happening to all of us is not very consoling. I see the effects of the years of living on myself, especially when someone takes a picture of me. I definitely don’t like it and I wonder how I arrived at middle age so quickly.
I know that sounds so cliché but it’s true. I see those grey hairs working their way out of my scalp and for now those bad boys get dyed. I also see lines starting to form on my face in places where I don’t want them but I don’t hate them so… 
When committing yourself to begin healing, you are taking an important step. You are in effect looking around yourself and saying that today’s situation isn’t working well for you and you are choosing to change.
I have found that it’s a decision that can make you feel two contradictory emotions at the same time. On the one hand, you are feeling brave to decide to open yourself up to change but on the other hand, the act of opening yourself up to something new is scary and nerve wracking because it’s unpredictable.
We all react differently to the loss of… 
Ugh. I feel as though I have been stuck in a lot of life’s drama lately and it is distracting me.
Big drama has been happening to me on all fronts of my life and I just thought I would let you wonderful readers know the reason why I haven’t been able to post on my blog as much as I would like. Not that you are hanging on to every word I ever post but I thought it would be nice of me to give an explanation for cutting back lately.
I can’t and don’t think it would be… 
Why is it that I think that worrying about something will affect the circumstances of the thing I’m worrying about?
It’s as though the more I worry about it, the more I think I can push the situation to go the way I want.
My siblings and I talk a lot about worrying and why we worry. Like A LOT. As in a couple of times a week.
It’s a good thing I come from a family of six children so we can rotate our calls to each other and no one ends up being burnt out from the constant…
