Welcome!

-
Welcome, one and all, to a place where you can find encouragement, inspiration, and maybe a little hope, no matter what you're facing in life. I have faced many trials, and have learned many lessons - some the hard way - and I want to share what I've learned with others who may be going through tough times. You may be facing health issues, financial woes, the loss of a loved one, or any other challenges. The lessons I've learned can be applied to any type of challenge. Sometimes all we need is for someone to say, "You can do this!" My hope is for this blog to help you in whatever you may be facing.

It was a huge blow to what I had hoped and planned for my life, and it was certainly unfair that it happened! I mean, I was super healthy, ate right, didn't smoke, didn

So I thought I'd better let people know who I am, and why I am managing a life coaching/inspirational site and Facebook page. From my earliest years, I considered myself an athlete. I don't remember a time when sports of all kinds were not a part of my life, even in grade school. And since I was in grade school in the 1960's (yeah, I'm old) that wasn't easy to do when you're a girl! The only school sport I could do was track. They had no basketball for girls, no soccer, and certainly no football! I had to play those sports outside of school, with the neighborhood boys. During the summer, though, there was tennis and softball through the Parks and Recreation program, and I gladly participated in those. In junior high we did get to play basketball - finally - but the main sports I did were track and cross-country. By
