Cheesecake, Chocolates, A Cup of Joe, A Good Book, and Wonderful Friends!

My dear friends who reside at The Armed Forces Retirement Home, Washington, D.C. campus, and myself enjoyed delicious desserts and a joyful reunion this past Wednesday January the 9th.   

Happy Holidays To You And Yours

During no other season of the year, do all walks of life come together to make life better and more beautiful for one another.  For the past few months while hosting book signings and sharing my books with families and communities, I have listened and learned from people of all ages-their stories touched my heart immensely.

Many Visitors And Great Conversations

My book signing at Joint Base Myer and Henderson Hall on November 30 and December 1 was a delightful two days!  The Marine Corps Exchange located on Henderson Hall is both an engaging and beautiful place to be during the holiday season. 

Sharing My Books, Sharing Memories…

While sharing my books with our wonderful military families, I am so often reminded of their devotion and love for one another.  Listening to their exciting and sometimes challenging stories about changes in their lives due to new assignments, brings back vivid and fond memories for me about my very own family.
