My humor and aging series is coming to a close today. I’ve borrowed a few ideas, also a few words over this month, but this final post, okay besides the included quote, is my wisdom alone.

Packed and lugged boxes into and out of moving trucks and put together a new house- That … More Remaking A Super Woman

Hello everyone! I’m getting a late start as one of the contributors to The Heart of The Matter. I truly appreciate how the other writers here have given so graciously of their time so that I could take a mini vacation before my first post.
