Please Give Me One More Summer

August 20, 2020 by Wendy Del Monte

I think that right now, right at this very second of his life- my son is at the perfect age. He is 11.  Eleven is the age of all things that meld into the perfect vortex of “BOY”.  I have to say I can’t think of a time that might be better for him. At this age, He is able to walk down the road by himself to visit a friend. He likes to go for walks with his … [Read more...] about Please Give Me One More Summer

Breast Cancer Steals Many Things, But Not Love

June 11, 2020 by Wendy Del Monte

I lost a friend to breast cancer this week.  Sandee was a hardworking, kind, funny, sweet, bright light of a person who fought her cancer with everything she had. She refused to let it take over her life, saying with joy "See!  I told you I'd make it longer than a week!" when given a diagnosis time frame from her doctor.  She and I had a conversation about her heath one day, … [Read more...] about Breast Cancer Steals Many Things, But Not Love

Teaching Our Daughters And Ourselves It’s Okay To Say No

May 18, 2020 by Wendy Del Monte

It’s Okay To Say No

The truth is, saying NO is hard for women.  I know that I have a very hard saying it, and I will often push myself to the limit and not do stuff that is important to ME to take care of others.  It’s just the way I was raised- and the way I was raising my daughter. However, it’s time for things to change. It took a worldwide pandemic for me to learn this lesson that it’s okay to … [Read more...] about Teaching Our Daughters And Ourselves It’s Okay To Say No

Depressed? Please Make Yourself A Priority

May 12, 2020 by Wendy Del Monte

Make Yourself A Priority

Plenty of moms deal with depression, and I’m one of them. I had postpartum Depression after the birth of my son and as I was battling cancer that was diagnosed with while pregnant with him. I battled depression again as I helped my daughter battle horrific bullying that led to a suicide attempt, and then her own mental illness. A few years later, I struggled again after the … [Read more...] about Depressed? Please Make Yourself A Priority
