I’ve always liked the name of Leanne’s blog–Cresting the Hill. To crest means to reach the top, the highest point. For some midlife women, those who imagine their lives to be glasses half empty, cresting the hill might suggest that it’s all downhill from here. A gradual or precipitous decline[…]

Janet Mary Cobb Answers Totally Terrifying Questions
I met Janet Mary Cobb when we were both participating in April’s A-Z Blogging Challenge. She was ‘new’ to blogging, having given up a couple of blogs earlier in her life. As a new blogger, taking on the A-Z challenge was a deep dive not a cautious toe dip. Janet[…]
What Objects Keep You on Track?

Celebrating 14 Women Who Used to Be Strangers
This is my A-Z challenge reflection post. It’s a few days early. After a month of daily posting, I’m keen to return to my regular schedule of Thursday posts. Loyalty is one of my best qualities. Speed-dating doesn’t work for me. So when I first combed through the master list[…]
