Year: 2020

“He will lift you up on angels’ wings” I discovered that  angels are very real and they are the people who have known and supported me at TSP through the dark days at St. Michael’s Hospital, in my recovering days at Bridgepoint and in the visits I’ve had since I came home. The matter of […]

It has been a challenge. I coach women to claim their power in their relationships so that they can communicate their needs clearly and confidently, avoid conflict and have the love they deserve.

As some of you may know, I have been helping out over the past 4 years in different capacities at this nearby immigrant center that specializes […]

My greatest joy has been homeschooling my two grandchildren, Meave(8) and Tate(6).  I was allowed into my daughter Naomi’s “bubble” as they are […]
