I Got Spring Fever Are the crazy winter temperatures driving you to think warmer, spring-like thoughts? March’s arrival looks promising — Daylight Savings Time is less than two weeks away, and spring starts Sunday, March 20th. Easter, St. Patty’s Day, and the Philadelphia Flower Show (this year’s theme being the centennial of the National Park Service) […]
NYC, One Stop Destination for Culture, Fashion and the Arts. When you live in a small town in the USA, like I do, a trip to New York City is the ultimate one-stop destination for culture, fashion, and the arts. My hubby and I motored to New York City for a belated birthday celebration […]
The American Heart Association (not surprisingly) has chosen February as Heart Heath month. Perhaps, it’s easier to have a heart to heart chat about health with Valentine’s Day and all of its trappings.
Today, February 11, I am announcing my first giveaway winner. The contest was first mentioned in my What’s Going On? post. Congratulations, Netta Young-Johnson!

Fast forward to 2016, nearly every morning, my BFF Cynthia asks me the very same question, “What’s going on?” as we both […]
While the country celebrates Martin Luther King, Jr. Day every year, this time in January is also a personal milestone for me: my blogaversary! This year, my blog, The Age of Grace, turns three. This online space continues to be a labor of love, a creative outlet to express myself and, hopefully, impact other women […]
Many people resolve to improve their health at the start of the new year, and exercise is the number one way to achieve measurable results. I decided to exercise consistently when I was diagnosed with borderline high blood pressure. I challenged myself to do and be better. In 2012, I walked my first half-marathon. […]
I no longer do New Year’s resolutions. I’ve found greater success creating vision boards that align with my goals for the upcoming year. Also, I’ve found that my blog makes it especially easy for me to recap my escapades and accomplishments while focusing on what’s to come. For the last two weeks, I’ve been in […]
