Finding joy, sharing stories and navigating life with a little humor along the way.
Please tell me I’m not the only one who can literally forget what I want to add to my list before I can get to my list.
I can’t tell you how many times a great idea—or something I absolutely need to remember—pops into my head and whoosh! Before I can get to my planner, it’s gone.
I used to blame it on senior moments combined with blonde moments (yes, I’m a natural blonde under the gray). Not a particularly helpful combination. These days, I think maybe it’s just life. There’s a lot going on in our heads.
And that’s one of the reasons Nana’s Corner exists.
This is a place for the stories, thoughts, lessons, laughs and occasional “Does this happen to anyone else?” moments that come along as we navigate the different seasons of our lives.
A lot has changed since I first started writing this blog. What began as Sparkle & Sass has grown into Nana’s True North—a community built around something I’ve come to believe more and more strongly: we don’t have to have everything figured out, and we certainly don’t have to figure it out alone.
Here in Nana’s Corner, I’ll share some of my own journey along with the things I’m learning, trying, creating and occasionally completely messing up. We’ll talk about planning and organizing, creativity, self-care, family, friendship, starting over, finding what matters now—and probably plenty of things I haven’t thought of yet.
Some days there may be practical ideas you can use. Other days there may simply be a story that makes you laugh or reminds you that someone else understands.
One of my favorite mentors, Rita Davenport, taught me that we learn best through humor and when we’re laughing. That has stayed with me all these years. Life gives us plenty of serious moments, so whenever we can learn something, encourage one another and laugh along the way, I think we should.
Because sometimes a little encouragement, a little laughter and knowing we aren’t the only ones is exactly what we need.
So pull up a chair and stay awhile. There’s always room for one more in Nana’s Corner.
Sparkling blessings,
Margi
