I am currently writing from my home office, (my bedroom) while my co-workers (my dogs) are hard at work on calls and research (snoozing or randomly barking).  It is the new normal for us all.   However, I do not want to talk quarantine or coronavirus or at home activities, or share workouts or how… Read more about Don’t Be Afraid of Your Stories

I've had a lot of changes over the past year.  Many have been external and others  internal.  As far as change goes, some  can be good, some hard, others small, and some can even be volcanic.  I think I've had all of these this year.  All of this has also changed the way I look… Read more about The 12 Things I’m Giving Up this Christmas

I am popping into your inbox NOT with a Black Friday deal or Cyber Monday deal.  I am not asking you to buy ONE more THING.  I'm also not here to tell you to get back on track or how to detox after enjoying your Thanksgiving meal.  I hope you know me better by now.… Read more about Your Best December

Looking back at some of my older content I realized I have written a LOT about Thanksgiving.  I mean a LOT.  I guess that shows how I really love this day of celebrating.  You know I love food, so there's that.  However, this is a day to just celebrate being together around a table and… Read more about Thanksgiving Musings
