Shirley
Super fun and super silly, that was Shirley. Food fight expert, practical joker. Loved to scare the little ones or feed them chocolate. Sandy brown hair and green-green eyes. Tiny smile and a heart of gold, that is my sister Shirley

Celebrating the Life of a Party Girl Icon
Pat Party girl extraordinaire, she loved to dance, drink wine, dress up, put on make-up. She taught us to have fun. She wore her brown hair teased out and full, her cat-eye glasses were sparkly with diamonds. She had a crooked smile and beautiful green eyes. Her olive skin didn't need a lot of make-up. She liked dressing up and dressing us up.

Celebrate Thanksgiving: Tradition vs. Convenience-Ruth’s Way May Not Be the Best Way!
Ruth Voluptuous that is the word to describe my former boss and brief friend of six years. Ruth was beautiful, dark hair blue eyes, small in stature, maybe 5’ 4", an abundant hourglass figure. Always dressed to impress, shorter skirts, kitten heels and colorful. A smile of pearly whites surrounded by red stained lips; lipstick promptly reapplied several times throughout the day.

Julie: A Story of Resilience and Survival
Julie A strong women that rose up from a very sad story. Julie worked for me for about five years. She came from a small town and recently relocated to escape a family tragedy. Julie was a single mom of a young daughter. But Julie was so much more than that. She stood tall at 5’9”, brown wavy hair and a strong jaw.

Lessons from Bruce: Trust and Greed in Business
Bruce A Scottish man that I once worked with. Bruce was the only person I ever knew that played bagpipes. He was tall and thin with a quaff of black, curly hair. He was a bit quiet. Until he would break out his bagpipes at work to practice between surgeries or patient visits. Bruce worked for a women who was once his next-door neighbor and his babysitter.
Life Lessons from Sue: The Hidden Strength in Tragedy
Sue Sue was a quirky, funny woman who I grew to respect so very much. She was my bosses boss. I knew her for about five years. She was 5’7", she always had perfectly styled brown shoulder length hair, which I later learned was a wig. I was naive, I guess. I have always seen the soul of a person more than the looks.

Denise: The Passionate Husky Trainer
Denise Denise the dog trainer. That is who she was to most. To me she was so much more. She was a woman who knew what she wanted in life. She bred and raised huskies, she trained dogs, she worked as a vet tech. She loved dogs, especially huskies. Denise was a truly beautiful person, if you understand huskies, you know what I mean.

Understanding Schizophrenia Through Personal Experience
Art Harmless, but feared. A staple at the donut shop I worked at for three years during High School. He was my first exposure to troubled individuals just trying to survive in society. Art suffered from schizophrenia. From what his family explained, he was a suicidal schizophrenic, not a homicidal schizophrenic. Imagine yourself at sixteen. Someone sits in front of you as you pour his coffee and he mutters…
The True Cost of Success: A Reflection on Dr. Sharon
Dr. Sharon Have you ever met a jaded person. Someone who seemed to be mad at her situation, her upbringing, her circumstances. I can understand that for those who struggle. If someone is successful, I expect that they would find happiness in their success. Dr. Sharon was divorced, and she seemed to be embarrassed by her ex’s profession. I won’t mention it here.

Embarrassing Moments with Grandma Ann: A Life Lesson
Grandma Ann Did you ever have an experience that was so traumatizing you never thought you would get over it. I was young at the time, when things that happen to you feel like they are happening under a microscope. The whole world is watching you, of course that is never really the case. My experience happened because of a woman I knew as Grandma Ann.
