Dear Citizens of the United States of America, In the wake of the rioting in Baltimore, I felt compelled to remind us that our nation was built on these words: “We hold these Truths to be self-evident, that all Men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness….” Those words d...

Back in the 80’s, when I took my first flight, airline travel was a BIG deal. You dressed for the trip, not to impress anyone but because it was big deal. I even remember what I wore… a beautiful cream colored cotton cardigan, white blouse, khaki dress slacks and pearls. Hubby wore dress slacks and a polo shirt… typical semi-casual clothing for him. Believe it or not, most of the... Read More »
The last few weeks have been very difficult.. my mama’s boy, my baby dog, my shadow, my lil’ Butchie has crossed the Rainbow Bridge. The day before Easter of 2014 he had an episode, not quite a seizure but more serious than his typical dramatic exhausted collapse, you see Butchie was my drama queen/little clown. Of course, we were out of town on vacation and he seemed to bounce right... Read More »
Being a flight attendant comes with some major perks: For one, you get to travel the world. But the job isn’t without its own challenges, too.

As I’ve mentioned in a few of my previous WIRLs, my family and I have recently joined our YMCA community and on Sundays, a church called Forest Hill houses some of their services in the facility. Last week I attended a group exercise class after the holiday weekend and at the en... Read More »

This is by no means a comprehensive list…we move and change with the times and current circumstances occurring in our household! Every family has their own unique schedule and challenges, and we’re no different! When possible, I try to... Read More »

What It’s Really Like To Leave Life and Find Happiness. This is a WIRL I never expected to be sharing. To be honest (isn’t that the point here), I had no idea that I would be living in Bali, Indonesia. Or that I would truly enjoy writing. Just over a year ago I set myself free. I decided in a single moment that I wanted nothing more in life than to create endless happiness and freedom.... Read More »
