It’s confession time – “Forgive me for I have not written a blog post in awhile”. I have been suffering from writer’s block. For a time this Pollyanna was on a roll. I had loads of great ideas and even made a list of topics to write about. All these super-fantastic ideas would keep me…

This Heroine’s Journey

November 6, 2014

  Maya Angelou said “Everyone has a story. If you have a story to tell you need to tell it”. I have a story to tell. The reason I started this blog was to tell my story. Telling my story helps remind me of who I am. Telling my story helps me make sense of…

Funky Town

October 17, 2014

  Won’t you take me to Funkytown?* A couple of weeks ago I received a phone call from a long time friend. I hadn’t talked to her in awhile and was so happy to hear her voice. She said she was calling for selfish reasons. She needed my advice. Uh oh! She said, I’m really feeling…

Life is All About Plan B

Life is All About Plan B

October 6, 2014

Life is all about plan B. It is a concept I have been pondering for a few months now. I’ve always been a planner and it is very hard for me to not have a plan. Or make a list. My nature is to plan out my life in great detail. But what happens when…

Bucket List

Bucket List

September 19, 2014

I’ve been thinking about my bucket list lately. A lot. This all came about from attending Oprah’s “Life You Want” weekend. Oprah gently guided us through workshops and exercises designed to help us discover what “the rest of our life” (after the weekend) would look like.  The excitement of figuring out my new life was…

I’ll start my zen life tomorrow

September 8, 2014

  I recently spent an amazing weekend participating in Oprah’s “Life You Want” tour. I took my stepmother to this Oprah weekend as a gift to celebrate her 80th birthday. I must admit that over the thirty-one years she has been married to my dad I haven’t really given her a lot of good birthday…

But they also tear you apart.” ― Haruki Murakami, Kafka on the Shore Groton, Massachusetts I recently returned HOME to Savannah from a two week vacation in New England.

No Free Lunch!

No Free Lunch!

July 30, 2014

  The old adage says “there’s no such thing as a free lunch”. This common saying presumes that you have to “do something” in order to “get something” in return. A few weeks ago I attended a fabulous lecture at the Savannah Morning News auditorium. The lecture was FREE and so was the lunch! All…
