Nine months ago, when we set the release date for my 9th book to be April 7, 2020, no one could have ever imagined what we would all be facing together: COVID-19. I was encouraged by some to delay the launch, but I know God ordained this time for His message: Hope in Uncertain Times. […]
The Power of One in Uncertain Times
In these uncertain times, I find great comfort in knowing I have overcome many obstacles in my life. I was born in Hicksville, Long Island NY and was what they call an oops or surprise. My parents thought they had taken care of that, but I was born the last of five children. That year […]
Applying EQ in the Workplace
Through time, encouragement has often been the difference between success and failure and hope and hopelessness. As we enter another season of mud-slinging ad campaign, I think we could all use a little encouragement, don’t you? Encouragement: giving hope or promise; to inspire with courage, spirit and hope (Merriam-Webster). Many songs, books and ad slogans […]
A Poem by Kuma the dog
You may have noticed that I didn’t post an adventure on Monday like I usually do. Mom was working this weekend, so we didn’t have a big adventure. We thought we would take a stab at a poem together. Mom has been writing poetry since she was a little girl. I’m pretty new to it; […]
Defy Your Diagnosis & Overcome Any Obstacle
Here we are at the beginning of yet another new year. Some have great anticipation and excitement for what might be, but many others are weighted down with what has been: they have been told they aren’t enough; have listened to negative voices; have experienced painful relationship breakups; have been diagnosed with a disease; deal […]

YOUR HEALTH Depending upon how happy your holidays were, you may be feeling sluggish and fatigued. Even if you were good, January is a great month to get serious about your flexibility. So many of us grew up without being taught the importance of proper stretching, and it may be catching up with us. The […]
Need to reduce your stress? Read this.
Regardless of your political affiliation, recent months have been filled with crucial conversations where opinions vary, stakes are high, and emotions run strong. The authors of the best-selling book, Crucial Conversations, tell us that during such times, we are often at our worst. We feel under pressure, stumped, and tend to act in self-defeating ways. […]
October 2019
YOUR HEALTH With the holidays rapidly approaching, I thought I should talk about carbohydrates once again. Carbs get a bad rap, especially with the hype around the Keto Diet. If you haven’t already discovered, Keto is very dangerous! Yes, you will lose weight but at the expense of your organs, and the weight WILL […]
September 2019
YOUR HEALTH Our feet carry us wherever we want to go. We often take them for granted until they hurt, and when our feet hurt, we aren’t happy campers. In my 20s, I got frost bite up to my ankles from ice fishing. I’m lucky the only consequence was collapsed arches, but I’ve been dealing […]
Following Atticus – Book Review by Kuma the dog
My mom just got done reading Following Atticus by Tom Ryan. This is an older book but is definitely worth the read. It is categorized as a memoir, but it is full of adventures big and small. It is warm, transparent, real, funny, and offers the reader wonderful reminders of the importance of relationships: human […]
