Why not “Lucky Friday the 13th?” I googled and found the association with the belief that there were 13 guests at the last supper.  I also found a reference to the Thirteen Club a supper club which was founded by William Fowler who had many successes and positive associations with the number 13.

Thanksgiving, a time of reflection, we/I have so much to be thankful for, not just at this time of year, but throughout the year.  I wonder why we focus on our disappointments. Two weeks ago the Powerball was 1.6 billion dollars, our office bought tickets as a group in all our locations: Florida, Georgia, New York, New Jersey.  We didn’t win, but it was fine as we played for fun,…  Read more

I know people love hearing the stories of how communities came together to work with neighbors, friends,…  Read more

Thank you Ilene for sending me some great photo’s from your walk on…  Read more

If you live in the right place, even if you are an annoying parent, your kids may come for a staycation, may invite their friends, and if you are really lucky bring their kids and/or pet.  The timing is great for me, this week I progressed to walking for 2 miles barefoot on the beach with no cane and no pain.  While I am grateful to my husband who accompanies me…  Read more
