Ruth Powers: A Dazzling Dayton Dame*

December 1, 2018 by Linda A Marshall 8 Comments

I just have this thing about babies. ~Ruth Powers When Ruth graduated from nursing school, she worked in obstetrics at St. Elizabeth Hospital. She did that until the first of her five sons were born. Then she had babies of her own to care for. And still, that wasn’t enough for her. At a 10th […]

Life Intervenes

June had been a great month for her. She spent a […]

Gifts from the Universe

March 20, 2018 by Linda A Marshall 2 Comments

Recently, I received three wonderful gifts from the Universe. About three weeks ago, while rearranging the books in my home, I found a book written by a former client. I hadn’t thought about Lucy (not her real name) for several years.

Angels Among Us ~~ Barbara

January 19, 2018 by Linda A Marshall 4 Comments

Do you have a friend so trustworthy that you can safely share anything with them? Fortunately for me, Barbara showed up in my life in 1968 and filled the bill.
