On Transitions and Loving

I read someone else's blog on a friend's life transition which prompted me to share my thoughts. Maybe this will help someone and help me at the same time.

A life transition doesn't always occur because love ended, but maybe because love and life, continues.

My first boyfriend at age 17 became my husband of over 30 years. There have been many ups and downs over the years, through the raising of 3 children, his cancer, his surgeries, and always our love has…

What's your excuse for not planning for retirement?

I'm too busy to plan

Perhaps you're so wrapped up in balancing your responsibilities that you haven't given retirement planning much thought. That's understandable, but if you don't put retirement planning at the top of your to-do list, you risk shortchanging yourself later on. Staying focused on your goal of saving for a comfortable retirement is difficult, but if you put yourself first it could really pay off in the end.…

Loving and Forgiving Ourselves

I have a friend- a very dear one who has been contemplating a divorce from her husband of about 20 years. There are many issues and divorce seems to be the only option left. There is no respect, no communication, no intimacy. They have been living and parenting separately under the same roof for years- she sought attention outside the marriage and he immersed himself in projects around the house. She cried to him, read all the self help books and begged him to go to counseling. Finally, one day… Continue

New Swap Shop coming soon on the web, by Terry L. Johnson, Realtor Associate & Home Stager.

How does a Swap Shop Sound? I have a lot of stuff when i closed down my Wine Bar and Gift Basket Store.

So what do each and everyone of you think about this? I would love to hear your comments while im…

Food for Thought: Southeast Eatery in Winter Haven

It's a tradition for me to meet with friends for breakfast on the first day of school. Our annual breakfast allows us all to meet after we have dropped our children off at school, catch up with each other, and for a few moms (myself included) wipe a few tears away with laughter.

This year, we chose one of my favorite breakfast places in Winter Haven - Southeast Eatery on Cypress Gardens Road. I am a HUGE fan of Manny's Original Chophouse in Haines City, and immediately fell… Continue
