Welcome to "Seasons for All" where I write about seasons as they cycle through nature, the world, my home, and my life.  I find I frequently begin writing with observations about something in nature -- the weather, the colors of leaves, the blossoming or lack of blossoming flowers, etc.  And I find I have opinions that get stronger as I get wiser with age.

I am the proud mother of two twenty-something sons and have two adorable grandchildren. My grandson was born in December 2000 and my granddaughter was born in March 2005. I'm lucky to have my sons, daughter-in-law, and grandchildren living within a mile of my home.

I have two younger sisters and a teenage niece. One of my sisters has been living with breast cancer since February 2007. I am very close to her and maintain a blog called "RaRa's MySpace" so all our family and friends can stay current on her health. That blog is accessible by way of a link on this site.

I have a thriving career in healthcare administration; my office is located three counties away from my house. Since I have a long commute, I especially appreciate my time at home. Creating a home that celebrates each season has been a family tradition since I was a child. Keeping that tradition alive, and doing what I can to influence a world of peace that is led by individuals of character and integrity are my passions.

Visit my other blogs:

• Seasons for All at Home where I share photographs and ideas for home decorating that will compliment each season.
• The Tea Room where I write about art, history, music, traditions, and much of the sensory beauty we experience in modern day America.
• RaRa's MySpace.com written for my sister who was diagnosed with breast cancer in early 2007.

Thank you for visiting "Seasons for All" -- I hope you visit me here often.  I love to receive comments, and I hope to hear from you!
