Bringing Back The 90’s

Did you spend your 20’s in the 1990’s?  Anyone out there with me on this one? I am completely engulfed in the fashion trends this fall!  Everything I LOVED about the 90’s is back and better than ever. Lace, leather, deep burgundy lips, mini skirts and platform shoes.  Oooooh

Thankful For The Friends I Make Wherever l Go

I’ve heard it said time and time again, a handful of good friends is all you really need in life. What if I said that more than a handful is also wonderful?  Would I be wrong? I have the friends I grew up with, the friends I’ve worked

Gord taught me patriotism!

I spent yesterday celebrating my 47th birthday with friends. Feeling happy, healthy and more energetic and vital now that I ever did in my 20’s and 30’s.
