Wishing you Godspeed on this new journey. I’m so far down the road, that I can barely remember the detour. I hope you get there, too.

My only lasting memory makes me laugh. After being informed I was going to lose my life insurance and then my health insurance …weeks later I was told I was going to lose my free checking. I told him that I wasn’t sure how I could possibly go on without free checking. Guess what? Still had free checking!!

This is heartbreaking, Regina. I have loved all your books and amazed by your husband. That inspired me to believe in love but I guess God has His ways. You are loved. Thank you for sharing each part of your life.

God is still in charge. And has a weird sense of humor.

I am sorry to hear this has happened in your life, and your embrace of possibilities is inspiring. I lost my husband to stage 4 lung cancer four months ago, so I related to your words on how weird it is to not have the person there with you. Yet…we move forward and all will be well. Blessings to you!

When you wrote for the Beacon Journal, I remember the first article I read ~ it was in the late 80’s about fall leaves as they crunch beneath our feet. I kept your article on our refrigerator for many years. My memory is fading a little but somehow I believe your message was embracing each season and finding joy in the crunch of the leaves. In 2023 you wrote about how some leaves let go and some hang on. Many hugs as you let go and embrace this new season ❤️
