3 Things you need to Stop doing..... TODAY

1. Narrator: Don't tell your life story.....Dates are a chance to introduce yourself, find common denominators and make connections but not all in one hour. This is a person that you will either never see again because he's a complete loser or someone you will have an opportunity to learn more about on the second date. Your date doesn't need enough info to write a biography or access your bank account. Less is more.

2. FBI Profiler: Stop analyzing.... Get out of your head and over thinking every step. If you are constantly trying to connect the dots or determine if each word from his lips are encrypted you won't enjoy yourself or give your date a chance to enjoy you. The choice of restaurant, his lack of laughing at your last joke or the way he places the fork on the side of his plate will not determine if you need to begin your diet to fit your wedding dress. Relax its just a date.

3. Chemist: Don't create the formula.... Fireworks shooting from the table are FAB in $10,000,000 Hollywood Blockbusters but it's not necessary on the first date. Of course you want to be attracted to the person you want to build a relationship with, but you Don't Know Him so no need to become a contractor. So let's not use the urge to rump under the dinner table before the main course to determine if you have found the right one. Attraction doesn't equal Soul Mate.

Side Note: If a Narrator, FBI Profiler or Chemist happens to be your paid occupation, take the night off.

Embracing a New Chapter: Adventures of a New Grandmother at 50!

As the winds of change blow through my life, I find myself standing at the threshold of a thrilling new chapter: grandmotherhood! Yes, you read that right—I recently celebrated my 50th birthday, and to add an extra sprinkle of joy, my youngest son and his partner are expecting their first child. Cue the confetti and baby giggles! It's been over two decades since I last cradled a newborn in my arms, and the prospect of becoming a grandmother fills me with an indescribable mix of excitement, nostalgia, and a touch of apprehension. While I'm overjoyed at the prospect of cuddling a little bundle of joy again, there's no denying that navigating this new role comes with its own set of challenges and adventures. Balancing the excitement of impending grandmotherhood with the reality of supporting my adult children through this life-changing journey is a delicate dance. From offering sage advice and sharing in their joy to resisting the urge to overwhelm them with too much "h...

Embracing Grace: A Journey to Natural Gray Hair

As the wind blows, so too does the passage of time, marking the transitions in our lives. One such transition that many individuals face is the emergence of gray hair. It's a journey that goes beyond just the physical changes; it's a journey of self-acceptance, confidence, and embracing the natural beauty that comes with age. For me, this journey began when I turned 50 in December 2023. It was a milestone birthday, and I decided it was time to bid farewell to the routine of hair dyeing and embrace the authenticity of my graying locks. Little did I know, this decision would spark a profound transformation, not just in my appearance, but in my outlook on aging. However, my decision to let my gray hair shine wasn't met with unanimous applause. I encountered a barrage of negative feedback, with many projecting their own insecurities onto me, expressing concerns about looking older. Yet, amidst the sea of doubt, one unwavering beacon of support stood by my side – my husband. H...
