Use the Good Dishes – Life is Short! A little reminder message this week… The other day I had a wander through a local thrift shop. I was looking for a planter pot for one of my new house plants. After all my eye rolling was finished…(the words ”vintage” and “antique” attached to things I …
Women Helping Women I came across a woman on social media the other day that was discussing all the things you could look forward to (sarcasm) as you age. Right up my alley! She was in the over 50 age group. (Gen X) After I finished watching I said out loud…”Girl…just wait until you add …
Embrace the Little Things in Life I think it’s time for another reminder to appreciate the little things in life. Those seemingly small things that happen to you that make you stop and live in a moment of gratitude. I find those moments especially helpful to remember when life throws life lemons at me. It …
Talk Yourself Up! I have a question for you this week. (I’m going to make you think about how you treat yourself.) What was the last thing you told yourself? Now I don’t mean the last thing you said to yourself, (to me there is a difference) like…Ok I’ll just read one more chapter. Or …
Life is One Big Experiment One of my favourite quotes is… Insanity is doing The same thing over and over again And expecting different results (Conflicting info on the actual source…the interwebs are full of conflicts aren’t they).

The Talk Part Three I’m going to add to “The Talk” series today. More of what to expect as you age. All those times you laughed at an “old person” or said “That will never happen to me”. Those moments when one day you stop and say out loud “Omg…I’m at that age I laughed …
Money Can’t Buy…? Time to write this week’s article. I had the topic of “what money can’t buy” appear to me twice this week in different forms, radio and t.v. so I guess that’s the direction I’ll go! I sit here on the loveseat, stack of books and reference journals on one side and a …
A Case of the What If’s So the other night I had a life lemon aimed my way. What I refer to as a case of the “What If’s” I was watching t.v. when I got a message on my phone. It was the neighbor upstairs. He was asking me if his wife’s music was …
You Can’t Please Everyone! I thought I’d start off the year 2024 with a simple life lesson….You can’t please everyone! It’s all fine and good to be kind and helpful to people, but going overboard to please others can leave you feeling exhausted and stressed, and that’s not healthy for you. Some signs of a …
Smack Goes The Life Lemon Nothing like starting off the new year by being hit with a life lemon! I was driving out of town, just coming off the highway when the dreaded flashing lights appeared in my rear view mirror. Good golly Miss Molly…what the hell?? I just left the stoplight so I couldn’t …
