Fly Free

How is it that one day can be a mixture of happiness and extreme sadness? In yesterday's blog, I shared how I was taking my Aunt to see her husband as his life journey was transitioning. Being of service in that manner was such a gift and I will be forever grateful...

Saying Goodbye

Saying Goodbye

One of my favorite childhood memories was hanging out with my parent's friends. Describing this group as fun, would be a complete understatement. I remember New Year's Eve parties at my parent's house where they would roll up the rug, move the furniture back, turn on...
