I'm so lucky to have people in my life who worry about me, just as much as I worry about them. It's a blessing and a curse of course - for the worrier and the person who is worried the other is worrying too much. My sister Trish is one of those such people. We've…
Time for Gratitude: November 21, 2016
Today I'm just so grateful for "Timehops" or flashback photos. I was reminded of one of my favorite pictures this morning that was taken one year ago today...my niece Cora's grumpy face.

Love and Lima Beans: A Poem from Aunt Nina I promise to never teach you hate. I promise to always teach you love. I don’t eat lima beans. But I won’t teach you to hate lima beans. I don’t enjoy mean people. But I’ll teach you to pause and think about why they are so…
