What I Wish I Knew Before I Retired
Thank you to Dee for featuring me today in her Blogging Grandmother Series. It has been a pleasure to participate. At times, it was an eye-opener to reread what I wrote just a few short months ago. Dee and I would both appreciate it if you would stop by and visit her site. You can …

Honestly, I can! Since I began blogging, I have diligently published an average of one post every six days (not including Guest Posts, 30-Day Challenges or Blogging Breaks).
