Taking the Time & Making the Time
Sometimes all I have on my mind is work. It’s not a bad thing, I love it, like a lot. I love it so much that I can create more and more work for myself as I see everything as an opportunity to learn and grow and push myself to do better and better. I… Read more »
Dear Summer, Is Our Time Up So Soon?
Friday I was on the road, the sky was dark and cloudy and I felt like a close friend had died. Perhaps somewhat dramatic but a feeling I think many of us have shared in the last few days. I am definitely grieving the inevitable loss of summer. I remember, when I was a teenager,… Read more »
80 Years Ago . . .
Yesterday we celebrated my Mom’s 80th birthday! My Mom is so precious to me. Sometimes I pinch myself and think, how did I get so lucky to be born to this lady? My Mom was born on September 1, 1939 in Bremen, Germany. The same day World War 2 began. A tragic and

July 20, 1969 . . .
Where were you on July 20th 1969? I don’t remember where I was but I know I was happily hanging out in my Mom’s belly for another month before I decided to spring out into the world. Pretty soon I’ll be celebrating my 50th birthday but we can talk about that another time! This weekend… Read more »

Sometimes it’s a challenge to think about fulfilling goals. Whether they are business or personal goals I’ve always disliked the question, “Where do you plan on being five years from now?” Not only does this make me feel like I’m zooming through life way too fast, but it also makes me feel anxious.
