One Year Today

by Susan Dusterhoft, in category Uncategorized

One year today, Dad, you left us behind. Your pain and suffering ended May 29, 2022, but ours began that day. For some of us, it has been going on for much longer. The world you left behind is much different than the world you entered.  Nothing is the same without you. One Year Today… Read More

Happy Non-Mother’s Day

by Susan Dusterhoft, in category childless, Mother's Day
Happy Non-Mother's Day

Several years ago, I wrote this poem about my feelings about Mother’s Day. Since then, this day has been one of my most difficult days. In recent times, I have found resources to help me. There is a book written by Jody Day entitled Living the Life Unexpected. If you are childless, I would encourage you… Read More

What Brings Me Joy

by Susan Dusterhoft, in category #embracethechanges, #second act, joy

  What brings me joy these days has been very little. However, you reach a point in your life when you have to let the sadness go away and seek out the things that make you happy instead of wallowing in the overwhelming. Bogged down in the negativity, we forget those positive moments that made… Read More

Growing Old

by Susan Dusterhoft, in category #embracethechanges

Growing old is something we typically don’t think about. As a child, you have virtually no cares in the world. Then you become a teenager and have nothing but angst.

In Like A Lion

by Susan Dusterhoft, in category weather, wind

In like a lion, out like a lamb. Not for those of us living in the heartland! The weather here has been anything but that, lol!

Quiet Sunday Mornings

by Susan Dusterhoft, in category Sunday Morning, Susan Dusterhoft
Quiet Sunday Morning

Quiet Sunday mornings have to be one of my favorite times of the week. Everyone is still asleep, the sun hasn’t risen yet and there is peace before the world wakes up. It’s a time to reflect and relax. Morning Person I am a morning person; always have been. It stems from my days of… Read More

What is Customer Service?

by Susan Dusterhoft, in category customer service
customer service

What is customer service if not serving the customers? This is my question for the week. I had two customer service events in the last week that really drove this point home. I have been in this field most of my career.  My customer service experiences were polar opposites. So I thought I would share… Read More

  Perfumes and colognes can be lovely. Whether you realize it or not, dousing yourself in them can be problematic to those around you.

Putting Myself First

by Susan Dusterhoft, in category #second act, self care

    Putting myself first is kind of a foreign concept to me. It’s no news that I have put other things first in my life before myself. When I hit the big milestone birthday, I vowed I would do things a little differently, coining this time of my life as “my second act.” Several… Read More
