Hello, my ah-mazing empty nest friend!   When entering the empty nest, some of us launch back into the workforce, others never have the luxury to consider staying home full-time, and yet others keep careers going part-time while raising our families. Each path is perfect for our own life. Aren't we all amazing?   While this  episode's concept is universal to a job or home life, my example is pluck...

Hello, my Empty Nest Friend!   Life can be filled with lousiness sometimes. Right when you begin to feel like you are getting somewhere, suddenly something happens that has you feeling like you are back at square one. This is beautiful: it is real; it is life.

Hello, my Empty Nest Friend!   This episode topic comes from a Green Popsicle Stick Group Facebook member.

Hello, my Empty Nest Friend!   This episode topic is from a fellow listener who asked about finding friends in the later years of life. When I sat down to organize and script this out, I had no idea that I had so many thoughts on the subject. But then, I do have a lot of opinions on many topics, don't I? Ha!   Anyway , remember that some friendships serve seasons of our life, and others are in for...

Hello, my Empty Nest Friend!   I can't begin to tell you how much I needed this episode when I wrote it. Throughout our life, we experience change. Sometimes it is expected, sometimes it is not. When we are unable to be patient with ourselves through the transition, things can get a little off course and "boil over."    In this episode, I talk about the importance of a simmer in a beef stew and wh...
