Have you heard the saying “what doesn’t kill you makes you stronger?” I’ve been throwing that line around as a joke for quite some time. If it holds true, I should have the mental fortitude of a truck by now, right? But this morning, I stumbled upon that same line in a social media post, […]
How often do you should yourself? I should clean my house. I should lose weight. I should exercise. I should work harder. I should read Katharine’s new book (LOL.) The problem with that word is that it implies that you are obligated to do it. It’s the right thing to do. It also implies the […]
It’s a new year! Have you made any resolutions? You know the ones. The ones that say you will be wealthier, happier, healthier? The ones that say you’re absolutely going to go to the gym this year!

Clothes? Food? Yes those things bring you joy because poverty and living in the street would certainly […]
In June, I wrote about the fact that after 18 years in the same house, we decided to sell and downsize to a new house in a brand-new town. Then you didn’t hear from me for a month. Where did July go you ask? Why wasn’t there a newsletter? We were moving! Packing, unpacking, you […]
In two weeks Ron and I are moving out of the home we’ve lived in for 18 years. We’ve bought a new home near the beach and will be relocating in a few weeks. Time to turn the page and go to that next chapter. Into the unknown. As I sit here at my desk […]
That’s a good question that’s been asked for years. We all know that a good captain is last to leave the ship, and the leader of a wolf pack always leads from behind. Yes, nice people get screwed sometimes. I agree. However, being nice also has the advantage that people will both like AND trust […]
Are you living your best life? No? Do you quietly dislike the people who post about the fantastic things going on in their life?
