Hello. I am so glad that you could join me!

My name is Charlene Franklin. Welcome to my site! I have put this site here to bring people together. I believe in education, communication and family. Families whether big or small, ex, step, half and adopted all share things in common. Together I hope to offer a place to listen(read), discuss topics, to share and grow together.

Here are a few topics that I will discuss. Family(all aspects), children, education, hospice care, sharing recipes, health related, books, uplifting topics, and a few more.

Healthier Life Choices

I love learning about natural health, such as the many uses of herbs and oils. I believe that I can do my part to be safe and healthier.

I am a Nana. We have 7 adult children, 15 grandchildren, 11 great grandchildren(two more due this June). I am always telling them that I am living to be 108 years old( 55 more to go). They keep me active and on the go. Being healthier is important for me and my kiddos.

Hospice Care

I am a Hospice Volunteer for six years now. I do enjoy it. I am also a CNA of 35+years. I am caregiver by trade and have met some awesome families through my years of service.

My grandmother always told me that “God had blessed me with a big heart and broad shoulders”.

Natural Oils

I am learning about the many unique applications of oils. I have a few favorites. The health benefits of oils are sometimes over whelming. No, I am not a health guru by no means but we are blessed to so many natural things to use to help maintain us in our busy lives.
