I’ve always wanted to write – for years I’ve said that I need to write a book. This year when I moved to Florida to live with my youngest daughter and family, I started posting some Mimi lessons on Facebook (I’ve added a few to this blog for now…) and in the process I’ve come to realize that everything I AM is based on lessons and experiences I’ve had and my reactions to those situations. I also discovered that part of me is also the result of not learning from those experiences… but I do find that as I get *slightly* older I’m more intentional in looking for the lessons in each situation and more thoughtful about my actions in response.

So, welcome to my new place to share some thoughts… I’m hoping that you’ll find my posts funny, insightful or just plain interesting. If not, I want to thank you for giving me a chance to come into your world in such a way that you can easily turn off my posts. (Isn’t social media wonderful? 🙂) If my views bother you, or you decide that my thoughts are not what you need to read, I won’t take offense… You are welcome to choose not to visit here or to unfriend me on Facebook.

If you feel the need to leave a negative comment, then you are in the wrong place. My daughters have always reminded me to be positive when I get too sour, angry or resentful. Collectively they are the best cheerleaders I’ve ever had, and am so grateful to have learned many of the aforementioned lessons from them.

I have learned over my years on this planet that negativity has never gotten me what I need or want. It is physically and mentally exhausting and does not serve your body well. Life is too damn short for such shenanigans, as I learned this past year when I lost my oldest daughter, Kristina. Definitely the most painful thing I’ve ever endured… Some of the funniest stories will come from her collection of adventures.

Above all, I’d love to hear from you if you enjoy reading… I’m not sure how regularly I’ll post – this has been a long time coming and part of me is terrified of putting my thoughts “out there”. It can be a little scary in this skull sometimes…(trust me on this).

However, if at the end of the day, I’m able to bring a smile, share some insight, or just encourage some ideas, thoughts, or inspiration, my job on this earth is complete for the moment 🙂

As I begin my 60th year on this earth, I want to wish everyone health, happiness and more joy that your heart can contain so that it begs to be shared freely! I am beyond grateful to share this earth with the wonderful humans I have in my life…
