Raising a Compassionate Daughter in today’s world of Cyber-space is quite the challenge.
At bath time I notice my daughter studying her seven year old figure in the mirror. She turns herself from side-to-side attempting to straighten her posture & suck in her belly.

Life changes in an instant, for better or for worse… The day before his death, my grandfather drove himself to the dermatologist for his annual checkup. He spent his last evening at home, content dinning on left-overs, enjoying a Hallmark movie (one he’d already seen 17 times) with his grand daughter and her eldest girl....
My grandparents were married on Valentines Day in 1947 before it was the ‘cool’ thing to do. They remained committed to one another until her death in 2019.

My inner critic stood in my way. Her voice, harsh and painful, speaking to me my darkest fears.
Every time I sat down to write, she immediately began criticizing my efforts reminding me of my failures. The last year was one of the hardest of my life and my inner critic shut me down. I struggled to accept a truth: my marriage had failed.
Last week my cousin called me. For the last year, she’s been writing an obituary for my grandmother who turned 90 in December 2018. She reached out to me, as the person she could rely on to help her with the process. There are several reasons for this and I wanted to share. I hope...
