Encouraging and equipping women over 60 to live their best life!
As you may remember, I’ve been enjoying a delightful “second act” as a budding artist. I’ve been painting, drawing, and taking *lots* of classes. I can honestly say, it’s been such a gift. There’s something deeply satisfying about finding a new way to express yourself… especially at this stage of life. One of the artists…
God’s design for sexual intimacy isn’t about perfection or trying harder. It’s about choosing love first—consistently, intentionally, and faithfully. When you love your husband because you see him as God made him, not because you want to change him, desire awakens naturally. And that’s what this post is all about: how to align your heart,…
If you’re about my age, that title may trigger the memory of a song by the same title released in June of 1976 by Elton John and KiKi Dee. It’s one of those lines in a song that can really get stuck in your head. In fact, I’m willing to bet that some of you…
One of the greatest deterrents to forward motion is fear. Fear takes many forms: fear of outcomes, fear of insufficiency, fear of pain, fear of lack of knowledge or ability, fear of criticism, fear of failure.

If you’ve been reading to my last two posts, you know we’ve uncovered two truths: Today, we’re moving into the action phase. No checklists. No tips that feel forced. No “do this or fail” pressure. As I share these ideas with you I want to share what God has done in my marriage—and how He…
Have you ever gone on a trip without your children or spouse and heard the words “I missed you” upon your return? It warms your heart that someone cared enough to miss you, and makes you feel valued and loved. It affirms that your presence makes a difference. Recently, I went to visit some of…
For most of us, March marks the return of spring, and with it, new vegetation, multiple shades of green, milder temperatures, and bright blue skies. Yet March is a month known for its changeability. Sometimes, within just a few hours, spring-like weather morphs into strong, biting winds, severe storms, or a sudden return to frigid…
If you’re an empty-nest wife feeling like your conversations with your husband feel flat, shallow, or tense lately, this one’s for you. So many wives tell me: “We’re talking, but we’re not connecting.” Or: “He doesn’t open up.” Or the classic: “We’re good, but something feels off.” Here’s the truth no one tells you: Communication problems are rarely communication…
One of the biggest myths about aging is this—by 60, you already have your people. The truth? Friendship after 60 can become more complicated than it was at 30. Children grow up. Careers end. Friends move. Health changes. Some friendships quietly fade. And suddenly, the circle looks smaller. If you’ve ever thought, “Why does making…
If you have been part of the Best-Life community for very long, you know that I love to read novels. I read about one a week. I specifically like those that lean toward family drama, with strong female characters, more than romance—I don’t mind if there is romance in there, though I prefer that it…
