Almost 60 and Fine With Getting Older -- A Dozen Reasons Why

It seems I was much more conscious that I was getting older, waaay older, when I turned forty than I did when I turned fifty.  Now, I will sixty in less than two years, and I feel better about myself and my life than I have in a long time.  <strong>Some conclusions I have drawn that feed this positive attitude:</strong>       1.  The spirit becomes stronger as one ages if fed with positivity.       2.  The most severe problems are easier to face and handle; I have experience.  Read more >

Give Yourself More Credit

Many times, I have felt I fall short, short of the expectations of others, and more importantly, short of my expectations of myself.  This, of course, leads to feelings of guilt and sometimes a sense of worthlessness, neither of which are healthy OR true.    Read more >

Dealing With Your Fears

  We're all afraid of something:  storms, snakes, fire, illness, job loss, heights, frogs, death.  You name it, and somewhere there is someone who is afraid of it.  The number one ranked fear is the fear of public speaking, even higher-ranked than the fear of death or pain.    Read more >

About Me: 

I am a writer, editor, and artist living in a small town in Michigan.  Three grown daughters, seven grandsons and one granddaughter, people, nature, and God keep me curious and inspired. 

I am a passionate person who loves life and finds pleasure in the simple things during hard times.I am passionate about life and people, and passionately against abuse in any form. 

I love to read, write, travel, listen to music, sketch & paint, and be outdoors. I have taken up knitting and crocheting. Flower arranging is a hobby I enjoy.  I love variety in most things, and exploring life, learning new things, feeding my curiosity keeps life interesting and me growing.

Nature is fascinating; human nature is sometimes wondrous, sometimes shocking, but always interesting. 

I am a very spiritual person, and commune with God daily.  He is my rock.

Seeing Barack Obama elected our 44th president elated me, as I voted for him.  I believe he is the best man for the job and will do our country and her people much good.  He will go a long way toward mending our relations, badly hurt by President Bush, in the rest of the world, too.

My heroes are my mother, my children, and my grandchildren.  So many unsung heroes in the world, but to me, these select few sing loudly.
