I want to issue an apology for having let so much time lapse since my last blog. My life as I know it has been turned inside out as I have walked away from a business relationship and started up a new enterprise. I figure this is what this blog place is all about: us women as we go through the great challenges of life, and mine is definitely been a challenge over the last three months. I don’t know if I have said anything about this before, but in addition to being mother of three and a GFWC member I also own and operate my own small town newspaper. I write a weekly column as part of the paper and I would like to share with you my first editorial in my newest endeavor. I hope you enjoy it.

I have a list of things to do, and a list of things that need to be done, and then the real list of things that must be done. And always the balancing act of finding joy in what I do, so I can do it.

Never before have I spent four days with 600 women and had so much fun! (I don’t think I’ve ever spent that much time with that many women — in my life!) AND, never before have I met so many extraordinary women who give so much of themselves to their communities, the country and the world.
Full Story |I have a handicapping genetic condition that requires constant maintenance and tuning of my reluctant body or I don’t get to play. I am accustomed to rapidly adapting to my circumstances, but I do not like to learn new routines as they confuse me. But that’s my life.

Our state convention was last weekend. I really want to tell you about one of the greatest centerpiece ideas I’ve ever seen.

She lost her battle with cancer the same weekend of the GaFWC State Convention. At her 65th birthday party she was given a couple of tiaras, which she just absolutlely loved. At [...]
