Toi, from Buckhannon writes: Dear Genie, I’m not a fan of talking about my mistakes. I’m normally the person who denies making any, but I know that one in particular is about to come to the surface. It was unintentional, but it happened. I overdrew my bank account and used our vacation fundContinue reading “Dear Genie #4”

Walk Your Talk
When you start a new phase in your life or set out to learn something new, the first thing you do is look for a teacher or a mentor to show you the way. I have taken courses with some of the greatest in their fields – Carol Tuttle, Master Energy Therapist, Sonia Choquette, IntuitionContinue reading “Walk Your Talk”
Love is Love
Love. Something we cannot live without. We desire to give and receive love- on many levels, not just romantic. It’s basic human instinct and is vital for our soul and emotional health to thrive just as oxygen and food and water are necessary for our physical body. Why, then, is love so hard? Why can’tContinue reading “Love is Love”
Strong Women Haters
This is a touchy subject for me. Growing up I was called “stubborn”, “defiant”, “moody”, a “bitch”, “opinionated” – I never seemed to go along or get along in the family as the only girl with two brothers being raised by my father. For twenty years my father used all his Army Reserve Psychological OpsContinue reading “Strong Women Haters”
Forever Lasts Forever
Dearly beloved We are gathered here today To get through this thing called “life” Electric word, life It means forever and that’s a mighty long time… 2016. The year we lost Prince. David Bowie. Alan Rickman. Muhammad Ali. Elie Wiesel. Gene Wilder. John Glenn. And so many others who uplifted us, made us laugh, taught usContinue reading “Forever Lasts Forever”
Life is Short
I’m creeping up on the 5-0 and will reach that milestone in a couple years. On my latest birthday I got to thinking about just how different 50 is to my generation than what it was to the boomers. At my age, my mom was a grandmother (though she looked so young) and had lessContinue reading “Life is Short”
Mothers and Sons
Show me a mother with a son and I will show you woman trying very hard to raise a man who treats women well, is responsible, hard working and a person who will make a fine husband and father one day. Not in all cases, but my experience is that this is what we wantContinue reading “Mothers and Sons”
Mothers and Daughters
It would take a book to discuss all the complexities involved in mother-daughter relationships and I sure don’t have it all figured out from either the daughter or the mother perspectives. I was separated from my own mom at a young age. When I finally got to live with her again I was a 17Continue reading “Mothers and Daughters”
Givers and Takers
Relationships are tricky. It’s hard to know who to trust and who you can open up to – versus who is taking notes to use against you one day. If only we could sort our friends in to groups so we would know where we stand. There are, in fact, two categories that we canContinue reading “Givers and Takers”
The Cowboys are Winning!
I am a girl who loves football! That’s not to say that I know everything about the game – but I can hold my own in a conversation with my brothers. I am also lucky enough to have a husband who doesn’t mind answering all my questions during the game. My favorite level is collegeContinue reading “The Cowboys are Winning!”
