Not sure...

Not sure which I like more: A proposed city ordinance named after my book (Because — PIPE DOWN! — we all need to sleep, right?!) or that someone named “Courage” thought of it. 🤗

Rose Garden

My sons and I created this little rose garden, in memory of my mom — who passed away on July 14th. 🥀 We incorporated rose bushes and garden stones sent by dear friends and neighbors, along with some words that reminded us of her. ❤️ Roses were her favorite flower; we hope she’d be pleased. . .

What's that smell?

Some beautiful rose bushes I received came with specific instructions to use THIS fertilizer. So, as long as I was at it, I decided I may as well fertilize ALL of my roses. 🌹And NOW, my entire yard smells ever-so-faintly like a trip to the beach... 😳🥴

Mom you can finally soar free....


I took this photo of my mom and my sister on Saturday. Last night, surrounded by family, my mother took her last breath. 🥀 She died as she lived, unpredictably and on her own timetable. One of her favorite expressions was, “Let’s just go where the wind takes us!” And, often, especially before all the illness and pain, she did. 🌬 Mom, you can finally soar free. Fly like the wind. 💫
