I am free! I no longer give my power away to this situation …. FREEDOM!!! Thank you more than words could ever express to everyone for your support, encouragement, kind words and for sharing the blog post I wrote last Friday. “It is time to turn the page on this chapter of my life’s journey. I choose to do this with my face turned to the sun with a heart full of happiness, gratitude and excitement. This is taking every ounce of courage I’ve got in me. I rarely ask for help for myself.

Team TLC has been spreading happYness every day this month by spreading at least one (if not more) acts of kindness.

Just home from a gathering with my WOW sisters … Words of Wisdom shared from one of my WOW sisters. This particular WOW sister was speaking to her 80 something year old mom the other day who has a slight “dusting” of dementia. Mom was asked, “Any words of wisdom to share Mom before we hang up?” … Mom, “Keep your pecker up!” Now!!! That’s some GREAT advise!! Thanks for the laughter, thanks for the tears, thanks for being my life line, thanks for lighting my candle. I LOVE you all so very deeply!! Susan Hill, Cheri Hill, Kymberlee Simantel, Emma Auriemma McKay, Jamie Cooke, Clare Rice Dreyer, Rachel Flower, Lisa Mantkus … You were missed sorely Glenna E Smith!!!
Follow your path and the angels will appear … Thank you for the gift slipped in my pocket tonight from one of my WOW sisters. Made my eyes sweat … My head meets the pillow tonight a blessed and grateful woman.
