In years past, I had a few health challenges. Unexpected. Unwarranted. (My numbers didn’t match what they said was happening.) I like good health. Though, I don’t always act like it by my food and exercise choices. Well, some of those medical issues had so-called residual effects that haven’t been […]

Rest is NOT a bad word


If you know me, you know about Hershey. And if you were patient enough to listen to the stories, you know how Hershey changed me for the better. If you’re not a dog person, I know it sounds implausible. However, I assure you it’s accurate, and I probably am not […]

Hershey’s Top 20


Before the holiday shopping rush, I’m doing a little research. How do you really feel when you receive a gift card? How disappointed are you in receiving a gift card and losing the chance to wonder what’s in the box? Friends who know me well have likely been on the other […]

Gift Dilemmas…

Today, I’m here to discourage you. Yes, you. And no, I’m not having a bad day. But, I had one last week. And the week before that. And sometimes, rather than allow a mood to just “be” until the moment passes, I bulldoze my way through. Assuming it’s just a […]

Possess the Process



I hope you can forgive my attempt at throwback slang. I should know better. It’s not even Thursday! Nevertheless… Over the years, I’ve noticed the different ways children approach their parents to make their requests known. When a child believes they already know the answer is “no,” they come with […]
