Welcome

Welcome! We're 3 generations of women who said farewell to sunny Southern California and waved 'hi y'all' to sultry South Carolina. We love helping other women in need. I'm not saying you are needy! But don't you love getting tips from women who know something more than you in specific areas?

My daughter, Jacquie, is a certified nutritionist and I'm learning some easy steps to becoming healthier as the days--and years--go by. She owns and works at Life Wellness Center in Lexington, SC with her husband of 25 years, Dr. Thomas Blake.

My 22-year-old granddaughter, Destiny, is a make-up artist with MAC Cosmetics in Columbia, SC. She is teaching me simple ways to add a little glitter to my life ... and don't we all need some glitter now and then? She loves her Zumba classes and playing with her two labs.

And me? Well, through the years--sixty-eight at this writing--I've gleaned from some marvelous mentors and learned from the hard knocks of life how to fulfill the dreams that God has placed in me. I'm a writer, and I recently published my first novel, Lady and the Sea, based on my life story.

A few tips for Mother's Day from the GLITS Gals


Mother's Day flowers from son, Shawn 2009

The GLITS gals have a few tips for Mother's Day...

Destiny:  Give a 'goody bag' of lotion, cleansing cream, make-up, whatever you think your mom would enjoy.  You can spend a lot, or if you're on a budget like me, take a trip to your local drug store (CVS, Long's).  Give mom something that she would never buy for herself that will bring out the diva in her!

Jacquie:  How about a gift card for a massage?  Whether an hour, or even 30 minutes, your mother will feel like a new woman!

Sharon:  If your mother is a reader, may I suggest LADY and the SEA, a novel based on my true story.  You can purchase my book through Amazon.com, E-books, or go to my website at www.sharonleaf.com.  After reading, look out!  Your mom will be ready to take on the next adventure that comes her way.

Now, after applying her diva make-up and having a soothing massage, good ol' mom will look and feel like a million dollars when she curls up with her new book!

Whatever you can afford, big or small, make sure you give your mother a big hug, or if she lives far away, a phone call will do just fine.  But let's remember ... the most important gift of all is love.
