Thirty Things
Back in the old days when magazines were still (gasp) printed on tree pulp, I loyally subscribed to Elle, a woman’s fashion and advice mag that spoke to women of all walks of life and always had a snarky message or two between the pages. One such column with humor and...
Thirty Things
Back in the old days when magazines were still (gasp) printed on tree pulp, I loyally subscribed to Elle, a woman’s fashion and advice mag that spoke to women of all walks of life and always had a snarky message or two between the pages. One such column with humor and snark (I am a big fan) is Ask E. Jean...
Changing Lanes
Man (or Woman) planned, and God laughed. I have made a good career out of being a planner, project manager, disaster testing, business continuity planner, entrepreneurial, and finally, soccer mom. All require some degree of preparation. Secretly, I do not like...
The Power of Peace
The corporate American rat race boasts prestige, abundance, and for the lucky, big money. What it does not offer, nor guarantee, is a peaceful existence. Early morning meetings, late night calls and text messages, relentless deadlines, and everchanging schedules have...
The Pursuit of (Personal) Private Happiness
Time can be both a thief and a giver. Depending on circumstances, and variables within them, time can be an asset or an enemy. We all have a love-hate relationship with the clock. I have a propensity to move quickly; do things fast and move on to the next task. My...
Learning to Say No
Much has been written about these two magical letters: N and O. They get a lot of heat and take a ton of crap. These two members of the alphabet, when combined, can be a powerful and sometimes destructive couple. I’ve learned that it’s harder to say no when I am...

Remember Your Why
I’ve always been a hard worker. I can’t say that I have played as hard or as much as I work, but I am working to put that into better balance. My wiring makes that a little difficult, but I try anyway. The past few years since the pandemic have been an intense ramp-up...
The Art of Life
I’ve been toiling away at a hobby business that brings me great joy and sometimes unanticipated frustration. Vintage and antique resale is a booming business for several reasons. First, nostalgia sells. Many people either crave the simpler times in which they were...
Second Winds
For most of corporate America, tied to the daily grind of routines, some which are still in-office, the idea of retirement can be a dream come true. However, as people live longer and remain stronger and more able-bodied than previous generations, the possibility of...
In the Dark
April 8, 2024 is a day for the history books. Millions of people flocked to prime viewing points across the United States to get a glimpse of the highly marketed solar eclipse. For approximately 20 minutes, those of us in its path were in the dark. Very much like...
