    What Tools Are You Taking Into the New Year?

    Twenty-twenty and beyond has been a time of lessons and self-discovery for me. The last of my three children moved out making me an “official” empty nester. I fell in love. I quit drinking.

    If You Don’t Like Where You Are, Change It.

    We’ve been living at the beach for 9ish months. And while I LOVE living here, I love being close to the water, I love going out on Fridays and walking on the marshwalk or by the ocean, but I don’t love the pay. I knew the cost of living would be higher here. I mean,… Read more

    Day 3 of daily blogging here. It was a hard push to get to the computer to sit down. I worked 3-11 last night and then 7-3 today. It’s 4 pm now. Much like my workouts, I have to just do it when I say I’m going to do it or it won’t get done.… Read more
