    Who are You Spending Your Time With This Year?

    Happy First Monday of the New Year! It’s almost hard to believe that we have crossed another year off our calendars. I know that so many people have so many negative feelings about the way last year went and I have to say, I’m not experiencing that at all. While I did suffer a few… Read more

    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.

    Well, Halloween was a bust at our house. I worked yesterday from 7-3. I dressed up like a lion but still wore my work uniform because I was not sure if dressing up was allowed, but I wasn’t going to let a little thing like “company rules” ruin my favorite day of the year. So… Read more
