Life is Amazing!

It can take you to the highest pinnacle of elation where happiness, excitement, imagination, pleasure, and contentment carry you on the ride of your life.

As I do, I intent to bring forward the realities of my having a profound hearing loss in today’s world. So there will be a few posts about that too. Lastly, but no less important, I want to share some personal life stories. Snippets called “The Times of My Life.” Who knows, maybe someday my life stories will become a book. (Hey a girl can dream can’t she?)
