When do I start dating again after loss? Everyone has A LOT to say about this when you start considering entering the dating scene again. Maybe more than any other thing! BUT nobody has lived your life, so I don’t think it’s their choice! Even if they have been your best friend throughout your whole […]

What you put in your brain is so important. Your self-talk is more important than what anyone else in the world can say to you. (Because YOU are with you the most!) So I want you to think of someone in your life who has always been your biggest cheerleader. If you don’t have someone […]

This song is so cute. I believe they really are with us each day. “Love, Me” I read a note my grandma wrote back in nineteen twenty-three. Grandpa kept it in his coat, and he showed it once to me. He said, “Boy, you might not understand, but a long, long time ago, Grandma’s daddy […]

This was Jays’ favorite song ever, and wow did it make more sense after he passed… . The Dance by Garth Brooks: Looking back on the memory of The dance we shared beneath the stars above For a moment all the world was right How could I have known that you’d ever say goodbye And […]

Healing is a journey. At many points in the past decade, I felt like I was healed from the trauma of Jay’s death. Then something comes up that I need to look at again and I realize that healing is not a destination- it’s a journey of learning more and more about myself. When I […]

Just like the 4-minute mile- nobody thought it was possible for a person to run one mile faster than 4 minutes, but as soon as Roger Bannister did it in 1954, 2 runners- just 2 months later- ran it faster. You, too, can do this hard thing. Loss may feel like a marathon, but you’ll […]

Goal setting for the year! I could try again to write three goals in each of the 8 areas of my life. 24 goals. Not too many, but they get lost. Too many for my little brain to remember. How can I do this different? I need it to be very easy. How about one […]

Years ago I would dread January. In the fall I knew what was coming- a dark, icy cold month and I’m always scared to drive! I would worry about it for months- how was I going to get through this winter? Going back to what my mom taught me I knew I had to find […]

Apparently many people who have NOT lost someone close to them, don’t understand that you will NEVER get “over this”. I didn’t understand before it happened to me, so I am patient with others who say comments such as, “Haven’t you moved on yet? It’s been a year!” Or, “I think you should be over […]
