From the book, FIVE:
"Five years....260 weeks....1,825 days, 2,333,000 minutes. What will you do with it? What COULD you do with it?.......In just under 5 years, Michelango painted the Sistine Chapel; In less than 5 years, Shakespeare wrote 'Hamlet', 'Othello', 'King Lear', 'Macbeth' and 5 other immortal plays; In 1961, Julia Child graduated from cooking school wtih a quirky idea for a TV show. Four years later she won an Emmy as America's favorite TV chef; At age 30, Amazon founder Jeff Bezos was living in a 500 square foot apartment. Five years later his net worth was $10 billion."
"You have brains in your head and feet in your shoes
You can steer yourself any direction you choose.
You're on your own and you know what you know
And you are the one who'll decide where to go." Dr. Seuss
You've cried at weddings, right? At the birth of a baby? And, of course, you've probably cried at funerals, but have you ever stopped to wonder why both happy and sad events, make you so emotional? Even worse, do you often feel like you're the only one? I will impart wisdom gleaned from professional conferences, seminars, books and articles and/or I will blog my personal thoughts. Either way, I hope you check in often, so you know that your tears are never shed in a vacuum!

About Me
- Ms. Baby Boomer-dang

- I am an educator and consultant, in the field of loss and grief. I love educating others, as well as learning from them, about life's little and big, happy and sad losses: marriage, divorce, moving away, losing one's health, aging gracefully.....or not......death of a loved one, a pet, a dream, children growing up and parents having to let go, etc. etc. Hopefully, you get the picture. Let's laugh, cry and learn together!
