Mother’s Day has come and gone. What to say about such a holiday, a single day to honor something that encompasses so very much? Motherhood is a really big deal, and after having been a daughter, a mother and now a grandmother, I have a lot of perspective ... and yet all I really know... Continue Reading →
And Now, Back to Our Regularly Scheduled Programming…
Maybe you've been wondering, or maybe you haven't... why I've not been writing in the past year. The most obvious excuse would be the pandemic, but it wouldn't be the only reason. The world has changed a lot in the past year, and the risk of writing has changed along with it. The risk of... Continue Reading →
The Deep Dark Christmas Secret We All Share
This is a repost of a previously posted story. My friend Bev reminded me earlier this week that it would be a good idea to share it again. Merry Christmas and good tidings to all who read it, whether you celebrate Christmas or another wonderful holiday at this time of year. Hey, you know what?... Continue Reading →
A Story of Three Battles
So some of you have noticed, it's been awhile since I've posted. It's been a very rough couple of months for me, and I'm still reeling from it. Sometime midsummer I caught one of those summer colds that everyone dreads. Only it wasn't a cold. It evolved into bronchitis and the doc ended up giving... Continue Reading →
Being brave and being strong is a very relative thing
A lot of people describe me as strong. A lot of people describe me as brave. I’m not sure I am either of those things. Don’t get me wrong, I’m glad that people find positive terms to describe me, and find the things I have done and survived inspirational. I certainly didn’t think that was... Continue Reading →
The Upside of a Polar Vortex
Funny how inspiration comes from the unlikeliest of places at times. Today was that kind of day. Actually, the last few days were that kind of day. A "Polar Vortex" had hit Wisconsin and the whole state kind of shut down over the span of three days. Oh, we fought it though. We kept going... Continue Reading →
A Bit of Needed Perspective
Author's Note: This column was published shortly after the presidential election in 2016, but with the current controversy going on with the Kavanaugh nomination for Supreme Court, it seems like a good time to revisit the subject. If you told me when I was younger that someday I’d be writing about politics in the local... Continue Reading →
Confession Is Good For The Soul… Right?
A little something about the title of this page, "Lady Lovin Her Life." Whenever I am asked for my email, which is ladylovinherlife@gmail.com, I usually get a reaction. "I just LOVE that!" is the typical response. That makes me feel great, and that's exactly why I chose it... It's fun, it's positive, it's inspiring, but...... Continue Reading →
A Little Perspective Goes A Long Way
It’s funny sometimes how perspective creeps up on you. When something you never think about suddenly hits you from another angle and BOOM! A whole other door opens to a concept you hadn’t considered before. Well, that happened last week. A dear friend of mine was falsely accused of something that never actually happened. Another...

Kitchen Misadventure Produces Much Amusement
Thursday night was another interesting one at my house. I attempted to make a dessert for a party on Friday night. Now for those of you who read faithfully each week, you understand the problems I have in the kitchen. The food sees me coming, and that’s it – it’s over. No matter how well... Continue Reading →
