The day that I would get the little notes made in school expressing their love for me. The homemade bouquet of flowers brought from outside and placed in the glass full of water.

Spending a day doing what “mom” wanted to do…

When people looked at me they would assume I had it all together and was accomplished to some extent. Yes, financially I have been blessed by decent jobs and good financial sense. What I missed was a sense of purpose. It is was January, a start of a New Year. New Years tend to be a symbol of…
