I all started with the shoes... that I wasn't wearing.

Hi, Reader,Well, it actually started long before that but this was the day I finally broke down and sobbed. We were moving to a different home and I was loaded up with boxes, clothing, fish (more on that in a moment) and 2 California Desert Tortoises. My friend was in front of me with an additional load. I'm pretty sure we had taken the chickens in a prior move but he may have had them in the back of his truck. But he got pulled over for having expired plates and I pulled over behind him....

June 18th, 2025 Prime Time Journey Hi, Reader,Happy Wednesday!Lately, a few people have been asking me if I offer coaching or mentoring services and while I've offered workshops (goal setting, Create Your Best Year, Finding Your Purpose, etc.), I've never offered a program to help with anything to ensure growth and success! But now I am! July 1st is coming up and it's a great time to step into a new chapter filled with purpose and joy. I'm thrilled to invite you to become a founding member of...

April 23rd, 2025 Prime Time Journey Hi, Reader,Welcome to this week’s edition of Prime Time Journey! Let's make the rest of our lives the best of our lives, starting now. Last week we talked about how living with purpose could change your life. This week we're going to talk about how to find that purpose(s). And also I have a fun suprise at the end.Some people seem to be born knowing what they want in life (my daughter is one example). They find their passions or their talents early and just...

February 27, 2025 Prime Time Journey Hi, Reader,Welcome to this week’s edition of Prime Time Journey! Let's make the rest of our lives the best of our lives, starting now. I recently became President of our Rotary Club and just returned from President-Elect training. But in truth, I have already been acting as President because our former President resigned. This, along with my dance group and other women's group, along with my business, makes for a rather busy week. Oh, plus the wine...

February 12, 2025 Prime Time Journey Hi, Reader,Welcome to this week’s edition of Prime Time Journey! Let's make the rest of our lives the best of our lives, starting now. When we are in midlife and beyond, we begin to wonder who we are now that the kids are raised or now that we're divorced or now that we're burnt out of a particular career. That's when self-discovery comes into play. A journey to self-discovery can be a powerful tool. But if can also come with roadblocks. If you’ve been...

February 6, 2025 Prime Time Journey Hi, Reader,Welcome to this week’s edition of Prime Time Journey! Let's make the rest of our lives the best of our lives, starting now. Valentine's Day is coming up next Friday which means restaurants will be even busier this year than they normally are on a Valentine's evening. For those of you who'd rather skip that crazy scene, I have some other gift ideas for you.(You may need to enable images in your email (above) in order to see the photos.)When giving...

December 5, 2024 Prime Time Journey Hi, Reader,Welcome to this week’s edition of Prime Time Journey! Let's make the rest of our lives the best of our lives, starting now.I hope you had a wonderful Christmas! And if you are one of our Commonwealth nation readers, I hope you had a great Boxing Day! I was born in Canada so I remember it well. My parents always had great parties.But I know that for some people, the holidays are not a happy time and that this year may have been a difficult one for...

April 3rd, 2024 Hi, Reader,I was almost scammed a couple of weeks ago! I waited this long to share because I wasn't certain that the scam had ended!I often work with brands to share about their products on social media. I received an email from an upscale company. It's not one that I recognized but the items were very nice designer items. So I responded to the email. They sent over an application and I was quickly approved ( a little suspicious). They then sent instructions to pick out 10...

April 3rd, 2024 Hi, Reader, Happy April! For those of us in the northern hemisphere, signs of spring are beginning to appear (thank goodness!) and for those in the southern hemisphere, I imagine that fall is approaching! What month would be considered the dog days of summer in Australia and New Zealand? I would love to know!I haven't written about caregiving for a while but that was actually the subject of my blog when I began it in 2008. At that time I was caregiving for my father who had...

Shelley Webb February 7th, 2024 Meaningful Midlife: Create a life you love! Here's your Midweek check-in! ↓ Hi, Hello Reader, At the recommendation of a friend, I was listening to a TEDx talk by Dr. Riley Moynes on the phases of retirement. It struck me that these phases are very similar to what we go through when the kids leave home.He talked about Phase One of retirement being like a vacation. I see a similar situation when the last of the kids leave home - no need to get up early to get...

Shelley Webb January 1, 2024 Meaningful Midlife: Create a life you love! ↓ Hi, Hello Reader, Happy New Year! Can you believe that it's already 2024?! I'm not sure about you but it seems that as we get older, the years fly by faster and faster!Do you choose a word theme for the year? I used to but now I choose 3 words. I learned about the "My 3 Words" concept ( #my3words ) concept on Twitter in 2008. It's a concept created by author, speaker and Chief of Staff at Appfire, Chris Brogan. I know...
