Welcome to AHWH :) I am a mid-forties small business women who is just entering into that second phase of life. The phase where all my kids have almost moved on to their next adventure, and now I am looking at the question "What do I Want to be When They Grow Up?!" AHWH is about sharing that with you. The beginning stages of being an Empty Nester, what I want that to look like and making it up as I go.

I am going through a bit of a personal situation that not only deeply saddens me (and in itself is enough to send me into a downward spiral), but the WAY in which it is happening makes me completely angry and frustrated!! Continue reading

Who’s That? Monday Motivation

I did an Instagram post not that long ago about a picture that came up in my Facebook memories.  The picture was from when I was well into my weight loss journey and had lost 93 pounds at that point.

“No Way!”  she almost screamed. Continue reading
