Encouraging and equipping women over 60 to live their best life!
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…
You will be amazed at how quickly a grandparent can fall in love with more kids. Step grandparents often share that they have a fabulous love relationship and a beautiful bond with their step grandkids. These little hearts and minds don’t view them as a step anything. They are just Nana or Grandpa.
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…

Yes, Valentine’s Day has come and gone. We’re deep into the Winter Olympics and settling into what I like to call the dog days of winter. So, tell me—how was your Valentine’s Day? Lots of chocolate, roses, and cards professing undying love? No? Me neither. 😊 But that’s actually okay. Because this year, I’ve decided…
Have you ever thought, ‘If only my sex drive were higher, maybe our marriage would feel closer again?” But what if the real key to rekindling romance isn’t about hormones or heat—but heart connection? In this post, we’re shifting the focus from performance to presence, from pressure to partnership. Let’s talk about the kind of…
