YOU Matter

YOU Matter

A recent encounter has haunted me. I just can’t get it out of my head and maybe I’m not the only one…

One morning shortly after the holidays, I was having a conversation in one of my favorite coffee shops with a “nice guy.” He asked me if I survived the holidays. I answered yes, and told him I was glad to get back to my routine.

Gratitude vs. Appreciation

The countdown to the festive season is on.

Admittedly, I am cynical about the way we, as a modern society, have allowed Madison Avenue to corrupt our holidays. However, in spite of the rampant consumerism and gluttony now attached, at their core, the holidays still represent friends & family, love, peace, joy, sharing, giving, gratitude, happiness, grandma’s pumpkin pie and snow angels. 🥰

Where is the year going? Here we are again, at the beginning of October. Already.

I know, I know. That makes me sound like an "old" person. Ok—bring it on!

This month I turn 56. Not really old, not really young. Heck, it doesn’t really matter.

You often hear people say, “I feel the same now, as I did when I was 18.”

That’s too bad.
