Image: Sue Montgomery Welcome to Dying Talks™. I created this series of videos for individuals facing end of life because they may find they have very few people who are willing to talk with them about that. Perhaps no one.

A Bibles & Bathrobes™ Devotional Fish love the glimmer of a shiny lure. Dancing irresistibly through the water. Or a wiggly worm. With a dangerous hook hidden within.

I almost used, “Talking about dying in the woods,” but in that context, you can see how word order and comma placement make a big difference. 😊 And yes, some may consider me a bit odd.

Holiday grief. The first year—and sometimes every year—is hard. The first-year-of-everything without a loved one is hard, and that can be especially true during the holidays. After my mom died in 2015, I had a tough time. Much tougher than I’d anticipated. And the first Christmas? I couldn’t face a single decoration. ... Read the Post
December 6, 2025 Well, I'm pinching myself! My debut novel that I've been working on sporadically for — oh, several decades — has finally been released! All glory be to God!

Welcome to The Boomer Continuum™ Newsletter (formerly The Empowered Traveler™) Agile caregiving, graceful aging, peaceful dying. Embracing faith & simplicity to focus on what matters most. December 2, 2025 Well, it’s certainly been a long time since I’ve sent out a newsletter. Over three years, in fact. And I apologize for that! Back then, as I was getting ready to write the next edition, there was a lot going on, and I couldn’t figure out what I wanted to share. “My subscribers won’t mind if...
