The lullaby music is playing again. So sweet.
“Are they trying to make the patients fall asleep?” I smiled at the nurse as she entered the room.
“No, that means a baby has just been born,” she replied as she turned off Pete’s call button.
We returned to Sarasota Memorial Hospital exactly 5 days after being discharged from my husband’s neck surgery for a cervical spinal fusion. He had been…

The Bedroom Window
After my husband died, I made a few changes around the house. I loved my home, and though my income was now slashed in half, I wanted to stay in my old cottage by the sea.
I painted my bedroom and with settlement money received from the wrongful death lawsuit, made some renovations. The kitchen and bathrooms got makeovers, and my bedroom got a huge walk-in closet and a washer and dryer moved…

My 8-year Blogging and Widow Journey
Thanks for sticking with me on this blogging and widow journey my friends. I am still learning and I have so much more to learn.
In the beginning…
I started writing this blog after Mike died and I went on that G-Adventures trip to Thailand all by myself. I thought I’d be cut-off from the world, which I sort of was then, so I figured I’d post photos and keep a journal of my trip. That was an…

25 Best TV Shows for Couples to Watch Together
Finding great TV shows to watch together with your spouse can be a challenge but so many good shows out there - here's a few I recommend
After a busy day, the best thing is to cuddle up on the couch after dinner and watch a great TV show with your significant other. I canceled cable a few years ago, so we mostly binge watch the best shows on Netflix, Hulu, and Amazon Prime. (Who really wants to watch the news these days anyway!)
By watching just one episode per night of a selected series, it increases the anticipation and makes…

The Night my Husband Died
It was a typical summer Friday night in our beach community. Mike and I got a text from friends that people were meeting on the beach for happy hour. We grabbed some snacks and beers and headed across the street to our North Shore Long Island community beach.
“How do you use the panoramic feature on this new phone?” my friend Meg asks me as we admire the setting sun.
“Oh,…

Moving Forward: Finding Hope and Healing After Losing Your Spouse
Finding Hope and Healing after losing your spouse
You hear it a lot in the widow world, I’m not moving on – I’m moving forward. The idea of moving on appears to skip past something and aimlessly move. When you envision yourself moving forward, it means you have acknowledged what happened and you are moving in the direction of self healing. You don’t have to necessarily accept the tragedy, but you are no longer in the denial stage. It…

The Summer of Pickleball Camp
What did you do this summer? I played so much Pickleball I feel like I was in camp. But I had to play very early in the day. Let me tell you about that!
I can tell the season is coming to an end because when I wake up to play pickleball on the court by 7:00 am it is still dark. Today I even discovered how to turn on the court lights. Do the clocks change soon? Or is it because I am now on the west side of the Eastern time zone so the sun takes it’s time rising over here? Anyway, I can sense a change in seasons coming up.

How to handle the heat better
Last month my face broke out in a horrific rash. I’m still trying to figure out what it was, but I know that the heat outdoors here in Florida was not helping. Was it an allergic reaction? Was it a shingles outbreak? Or was it due to overheating from playing Pickleball outside in the sun when the “feels like” temperature was 107 degrees? Well one thing I have learned since the face rash has gone…

Inviting the Author (me) to the Book Club Meeting
My book has been listed on Amazon.com for a little over a year and I have had the privilege of being invited to several book club meetings as a guest. The idea of it was initially thrilling. I have received many 5 star reviews and such positive feedback on my book. My mom was an author and visited schools. Here I am following in her footsteps. How awesome. What an honor!
