Easter this year marks one year since Granny passed away. Peacefully slipping away in her sleep with her family surrounding her. She was my Mother’s Mother. Granny was very different to my Grandma. Both wonderful women who had special gifts that they each offered to their grandchildren. I have been so lucky and grateful thatContinue reading “Remembrance”

Home Alone
This past weekend I was alone. By myself. Living the single life. Now that didn’t mean I was out partying to all hours. I had my book club gathering then came home and immediately got into my PJ’s. This past weekend became valuable down for me. In the past I would have spent so muchContinue reading “Home Alone”
The Resilience Project
I know I’m late to the party with this but wow! What a great read. I started this book and could not put it down. The author was able to weave his own personal stories of discovering resilience with research. And no it wasn’t dry reading about research either. This field of study is aContinue reading “The Resilience Project”
