Welcome
As some of you may know, I worked as a registered nurse for 44 years and made the big move to retire at the end of 2017. My Kaiser friends wanted to have a retirement party for me. I am shy and resisted for awhile - but on April 8, 2017 my special day happened, thanks to all my friends!
I would love to share some of the pictures of that special celebration with You!
My future begins today.....
I plan to love more,
laugh more,
play more
and spend more precious time
with my family and friends.
I will never forget this day!
Far and away the best prize that life offers....
is the chance to work hard
at work worth doing! - Theodore Rosevelt
Lisa Moshiri, my Manager, inspired me to grow and follow my dreams.
She inspired by her laughter, commitment and dedication!
The growth and development of people -
is the highest calling of
LEADERSHIP!
- Harvey Firestone
Gratitude!
We were there for each other during the joyful
and difficult times!
Example is not the main thing
in influencing people -
It's the only thing.
w- Albert Schweitzer
Happy Memories!
We were united in our goal to serve our
Kaiser Members.
THRIVE!
Every ending Gives Me
A New Beginning

Bags packed
Let the journey BEGIN!

Matthew 16 [1] The Pharisees also with the Sadducees came, and tempting desired him that he would shew them a sign from heaven.
Revelation 15 [1] And I saw another sign in heaven, great and marvellous, seven angels having the seven last plagues; for in them is filled up the wrath of God.
