When I was young and dreaming about the day I would get married, I never thought that it would be something that took place halfway around the world. I never knew that I would meet and fall in love with the most amazing British man that I have ever met and I did not know […]
I’m so glad I’m not the only one who suffers from “senior moments.” It’s not that I wish them on anyone else. I’m just happy I’m not alone.
The other day I was having a conversation in the teacher’s lounge with another substitute teacher who had just moved to this area. Our conversation was all over […]
My husband, a commodities broker, recently decided that he wanted to do something else with his life. He said that, though he did not hate his job, he wanted to do something that made him feel more fulfilled and he wanted something that would let him spend more time with his kids, whom he said […]
For one of my psychology classes when I was going to college I was writing an essay on keys to a happy relationship. It was one of the more difficult essays that I’ve ever written but it was also one of the more fulfilling ones as I learned a lot about the relationships I had […]

I have to tell you about my friend Sophie. She is the most amazing and courageous person that I have ever met. She has overcome so much in her short lifetime and is one of the smartest and most beautiful people that I have ever met. I met her when I went to visit my […]
