In Elsewhere, most of our children and grandchildren will be ‘allowed’ to return to school with and without masks, others will be home schooled and some unfortunately, will drift. It is the fall of the year and I dare say none of us have been able to totally rise about the fray….of life in Elsewhere. … […]

It’s 6:25 a.m. in the morning, and I’m sitting at the living room game table  writing and sipping delicious hot steaming coffee in my favorite French mug.  Whenever I look out our floor to ceiling windows I am entranced by the stunning panoramic view of Lake Michigan and the city.

I love the month of September! It is a 30 day period of time that I think of as a period of reevaluating what does and does not make my heart sing. September is the month I say to my burdens, “Au revoir.” It is the first month of fall so I think of myself…

Today’s musing was written by the sweet Paisley Hansen. Paisley is a freelance writer and expert in health, fitness, beauty, and fashion. Today she talks about how to have that ‘Moxie’ feeling and attitude after 50+. When 50 hits, it can feel like a huge weight on you. Physically, your body isn’t in peak condition…

When I think back on the passages in my life, there was a perfect 12-year period. How fortunate was that? 12-years without a care in the world. It began when I was 46-years-old. I had completed one year of mourning the loss of my late husband (though in truth mourning is never quite finished,) and…
