With the past few weeks being filled with high school graduations, students and parents alike are realizing that the inevitable fall semester is arriving faster than they expected. However, in light of the coronavirus pandemic, it appears that colleges and universities will be making changes to adjust to what we’ve begun to know as the “new normal”. Below are five items that I think any and every college student could benefit from having on the new versions of their campuses.

’ll admit, even though I feel like I’m in my 30’s, the reality is I’m smack dab in midlife and health issues I would have never considered before should now be more in the forefront of my mind. Yes, I eat healthy, work out and get regular mammograms.

Let’s face it – most women are pleasers. We grew up playing with baby dolls and being “mommy.” We are taught to be caregivers for everyone.

I never imagined I would be at a point that people considered me “middle-aged.” When I was in my 20’s and 30’s that seemed so… well….. OLD! But as the years ticked by it didn’t even occur to me that I was getting to that point. I just kept living my life as I always […]

For a person who loves to give and get hugs this social distancing due to COVID-19 has been tough. I was talking to a friend the other day and said that when this is done I just want to invite all of my friends over and have a giant hug fest. But there’s one person […]

My daughter is graduating high school this year and for her, like so many other kids, it’s a far cry from what they imagined their senior year would look like. Let’s face it – it sucks! My heart breaks for the memorable events she’s missing, and I would do anything to make it better. But […]
