As I approach the mid-way mark of another decade of life, I'm grateful for sag-resistance thoughts I learned to adapt along the way. I don't need a plastic surgeon, even if I've tried being one myself this year. Ah, yes, the 50s are when we can't help but notice what has changed in our appearance. … Continue reading How I embrace sag resistance in my 50s

Mom – I’m going nuts, but it’s not dementia
I remember back to moments when calling mom just seemed like the best thing to do. She always had the right thing to say, the right way to listen, or the advice I hadn't considered.
