Florence – an Italian Masterpiece

Farms and villas that dot the rolling hills, perfectly spaced so as to give me ample time to study each one before the next appeared. I couldn’t keep still… looking left to right…not wanting to miss any of the beauty.

Speech Writing

I am writing my Keynote speech. I have been writing this speech for years. I found at every turn a road block to prevent me from speaking. Most of these road blocks were out of necessity. I had to finish raising my son. I had to help my elderly father. I had to have a… Continue reading Speech Writing

Gold Ring

My mother Bernice died of Alzheimer’s at the age of 82. She like most older parents left me with a lifetime of possessions.  I went to our family home to begin the process of cleaning and purging.  Everything was covered in dust from furniture to small figurines.  As I walked from room to room feeling… Continue reading Gold Ring

Space

I think we’re all running out of space in the summer of 2020. It’s warm out so we’re fortunate to be able to step outside our houses for a change of scenery.

Stretch it Out

I hope you are having an exercise reboot while at home. This isolation will not go on forever but it has gone on longer than most of us expected. I had no real exercise goals when I first crossed the threshold of my condo for the pandemic lockdown. I love to be outdoors so I… Continue reading Stretch it Out

An Angel Straight from Heaven

The above statement is a line from the movie Raising Arizona. I know the movie was on the quirky side but I got the humor. I especially liked the line, “An angel straight from heaven.” I like it so much I reference it all the time. I used to use it when referring to my… Continue reading An Angel Straight from Heaven

Valentino

If I could have any outfit in the whole world, this would be it.

Finding the Beauty Everywhere

Living in Florida, has exposed me to many different species of flowers…most of which I am not familiar with at all. Some of the plants are out in the open and I can take a few leaves as I pass by. I take the leaves to the local garden center and I learn a new… Continue reading Finding the Beauty Everywhere
