I will miss you sis, until we meet again…..

Dear Sis, On Sunday January 24th, 2021, at 1:45am,  you transitioned to a place that is the unknown to us all.  But for you, this place is now your home.  A place where I believe you are loved by many and in no pain.  When our brother Brian called me on the Friday and said, “You need to get on the plane.  I need you here.”   There was not a doubt in my mind, I had to go.  Not just…

2020 – A year to remember or a year to forget ?

Dear Sis, I remember at the start of the year, so many people making big plans and predictions about the new year. “Wow, a new decade.  The power and energy that comes along with this.  Time to make big changes.  Time to take that leap of faith.”   But for me personally,  I was ready to go within.  To take care of my inner self.

Feel your way through life….

Feel your way through life….

Dear Sis, I read this quote a couple of weeks ago…. “The sooner in life you realize that you gain more from feeling your way through than thinking your way through,  the better life is and the more you can achieve.” A little bit of a segway into me telling you that I am so sorry I have not written to you since April !!!   It is not because I had nothing to say, it is actually the opposite….

Dear Sis, Tomorrow is the 29 year anniversary date since dad passed away.   I was 23 years old when he died. Life is certainly moving forward and there is no stopping it.

I cried in the shower….

Dear sis, A few days ago, I cried in the shower.   As I cried, I felt joy. COVID-19 will change us all.  But I believe for the better. Karen, the tears came moments after I tried calling you.    The phone simply rang and rang.   No machine “picked up” for you to hear my voice.    So I pictured you just lying there and listening to the phone ring over and over again. I worry about you everyday….

Just do what you need to do for you….

Dear sis, Hi Karen !!!!!  I am finally sitting down to write this blog.   So many evenings this week, I would think, “Oh I want to write – I honestly crave writing stories – I love it – and I love to share them with you 🙂 so I would write a little but then I would choose yoga, or a long walk or a bath.  I have gotten really good at taking care of me.   It is all…
