Celebrating May & Mother's Day It's May already. We are almost halfway into the year. Can you believe it? Time flies by. Everything is fully blooming right now, offering us an array of bright and beautiful colors in a diversity of shapes and forms. Nature can truly be mesmerizing and enchanting.

Tribute to My Mother

Tribute to My Mother Helen Eileen Overa Thompson de Brose My mother and I... the Beginning It's been 2 years today July 21st, since my mother passed away, Helen Eileen Overa Thompson de Brose. I will never forget that day. she had been in a nursing home for quite some time due to dealing with dementia and other issues. the last years I had spent time every week doing video calls with her through Zoom, and I used to sing to her "Over the Rainbow" every time, her favorite song.

Celebrating Father's Day & Summer Solstice

It is nice to see everyone coming out of their caves, riding bicycles, playing tennis, golf and so many other sports Yes, pool included which is where I dive almost in every day to refresh from the heat. The heat is really on sometimes. The sun is flaming strong these days warming us sometimes more than we'd like. Sometimes it feels like we are about to melt.

We are also celebrating Father's Day this month. What are you doing to celebrate this time? Whether you are a father yourself and/or are celebrating your father. What are ways you feel th...
