What’s Your “Grandma” Name?
Kiki, Coco & Gigi are just a few of the hundreds of darling names I got when I posted on social media, "what's your Grandma name?"... This pic was snapped when I was visiting my son, his girlfriend and their new puppy "Panda". I reached out to cuddle Panda and...
Bikini Body
I want to talk about that photo Khloe Kardashian is trying to get scrubbed from the internet. I googled it, expecting to see something really weird looking or really...something.What I found is a picture of her, without a bunch of filters, and a body I would die to...
Hugging My Son
Tears streamed down my face as I sat in the Los Angeles airport...I hadn't realized how much I had missed my son until it came time to say goodbye and head home to Dallas. It was another gift from Covid. * I know that sounds odd, but I'm making positive changes in my...
Forgiving Myself
Forgiving myself. How many times have you struggled to forgive yourself? I'm at a point in my life when there are more days behind me than in front of me, and as I look in the rearview mirror I don't always like what I see. I cringe when I think about words I have...

Are You “Feminine” Enough?
You might ask, "feminine enough for who?" When I wrote about this on my social media, it got one of the largest responses ever, so I wanted to share the story behind it. I wrote that I've always had a fantasy about being a full time wife and mother. I know that may...
Anti-Aging Body Skin Care Favorites
Does this photo look familiar? I bet you have a similar one, showing off that teen-age tan. If you're like me, you spent way too much time in the sun in your life. As a teen-ager, I remember slathering myself with baby oil and then baking in the sun for hours to get...
Snow Day Personal Thoughts
