MUSIC AND JOY NOW FILLED HER SOUL

Posted on November 8, 2010 by Judy

And so I am beginning to get the idea that I will eventually write my book as “A Musical Story of A Grieving Woman Transformed.” I will edit down my blog posts, and the musical of my life will be stories with music. The book could be an E-book with music, or have a CD included with a printed version. There are days when I feel like a shooting star. There are also days when I am so happy to be on earth.

DISCOVERING NEW THINGS TO DO

Posted on October 14, 2010 by Judy

I received such an outpouring of love and birthday greetings today. To all those dear friends of mine that contributed to that, thank you! My mother who always made a big fuss about my birthday, lost track of it this year. I made sure to call her and let her know how happy I was. I’ve saved so many of her cards, and have shared many of them on my blog. However, I found that sharing an old one today wasn’t helpful for me, since it made me sad thinking of it.
