My mother was an extremely superstitious person. She also was a prankster. Today, April 1st, combines both of those qualities of hers. For me, today serves as a day of remembrance. First, let me start out with a shout out to “Rabbit, Rabbit”. On the first of every […]
This past year, or I suppose last year, I had a moment where I kept expecting my mom to call me. It, of course, couldn’t happen since my mother has been gone for a while. It was an extremely odd feeling to wait for her call. I so […]
Eleven years ago today my mom departed this earth. Eleven years. The grief is not any less. The sting is not any less sharp. Fittingly it’s ground hog day. My mom liked the day. She would try to predict what Punxsutawney Phil would predict. We also loved the […]
It’s my mom’s birthday today. It’s amazing that I remember it so well now that she is dead. While alive, I sometimes got it wrong by a day or two. But now it’s seared into my consciousness. Today I think of all the things she loved. I laugh […]
This might seem weird to some. Bit April fool’s day makes me a little sad. It’s a day of jokes and I love pranks. Pulled one off last week on a colleague to great delight. I got that love of pranks from my mother. She took great pleasure […]
My mom loved election day. She loved voting. She truly cared and felt her vote counted. Or that she wanted it to count. Had she still been alive for this election, I know she would have stood happily in those lines. Election day often fell on her birthday […]

It’s that time of the year. It’s the end of the first quarter. It’s the first day of the month. It’s April Fool’s Day. That last part makes me sad. My mother loved April Fool’s pranks. She would go all out. She’s not here to experience this one. […]
Despite loving dresses and high heels, as well as wearing them everyday, I have never been a very girlie girl. To some, that just doesn’t add up or make sense. I’m not saying I was a tomboy. But I just was never that into manicures (mani-pedis), for instance. […]
February is a major pop culture time in the United States with both the Superbowl and The Oscars taking place in the month. I’m not a huge football fan but I do love the Superbowl. I love the commercials and the halftime show. This is is time for […]
