I said yes! 

Joe asked me to marry him. After 10 years (and the awful failed marriage I experienced), I’m so beyond ready to marry this man. I think we’re finally ready to take a real long term chance. Love is scary but being without him is worse. 

Loving You – Long Distance 

The changes in my life this year have been significantly challenging. While I’ve been recovering from knee ligament and muscle repair surgery, I’ve also been living on my own. That’s been a positive thing. What’s strange is how happy I am to be alone. I was so tired of having a constant & needy companion. […]

You just start over.

About 20 years ago, my dad was down in his luck in a serious way. While not jobless, he was driving a super-shuttle airport van around LAX, shifts that were long hours, with those long hours spent in commute traffic. And then there was the small but significant detail that he felt he’d been a […]

God, faith and stuff 

This is the best way I can to explain my beliefs! And be prepared for a long read! This is long enough, well, to be a little tedious. Sorry. GOD? I’d like to imagine myself as a student, and as you have an inquisitive mind also, I thought you might be interested to read  on […]

Blessings? 

It’s very common when someone has a good thing happen, that person says that something is lucky. For example, someone has a lucky day after they run a red light in front of a police officer but don’t get a ticket? I have begun to challenge myself to change the word ‘lucky’ to the word […]

New 2 bedroom Apartment

We’ve waited 6 years for a 2 bedroom apartment. We are finally moving into a 2bedroom apt. That room is 10×14, and believe me I have a plan for every inch! 1/2 of it will be my stepdaughters room for when she visits. But I’ve managed to place my expedit cases (2) in the shape of […]
