This quote came to me when I needed it the most. “Happiness is the consequence of personal effort. You fight for it, strive for it, insist upon it, and sometimes even travel around the world looking for it. You have to participate relentlessly in the manifestations of your own blessings.

It was one of those rare southern June nights. The temperatures dropped into the 60’s last night. I welcomed the cool breeze and opened up all of the windows upstairs. They say that sleeping with the windows open is good for you and that “fresh air has been shown by various studies to actually improve many different aspects…

  I was going through my photos early Monday morning and found this one (featured photo). I stopped to take the time to reflect on the moment I took it. I remember how I felt standing in the gardens of the Palace of Versailles. I remember stopping, watching my #LittleLove peaking through the tall walled garden surrounding us….

Originally known as Decoration Day, it originated in the years following the Civil War and became an official federal holiday in 1971.” The true meaning of Memorial Day is…

About last night… I am a sucker for all things themed parties and I must say, it is great to have neighborhood friends that love it as much as I do. We have an Annual Ugly Christmas Sweater Party, two Halloween parties and themed potluck dinner nights. To date, we have had Asian, Italian, Polish, and…
