Another Way to View Christmas

I just read this message (Dec. 18, 2016, The Arcturian Group via Marilyn Raffaele) and am still tingling as I resonate with the Arcturian viewpoint.

“We Will Intuitively Know …

… how to handle situations which used to baffle us.” This is one of the Ninth Step promises in Alcoholics Anonymous.

Don’t Take Life for Granite!

Granite Granted I’ve got granite on my mind. Yesterday my husband and I walked endlessly (it seemed) in two huge granite and marble warehouses. Who knew there were so many varieties from which to choose? We’re upgrading our kitchen countertops (among other improvements) prior to listing our home for sale. And we still don’t have … Read More

Spring Housing Market and Security

My husband and I met with a Realtor yesterday. We’ve been talking for years about moving, once we both retired. Finally, the time has come!
