What’s Weighing You Down?
It amazes me that when I focus on how grateful I am for big things in my life or even a little thing like a suitcase making the weight limit, I have more energy, confidence and ability to navigate life’s many ups and downs.
‘Tis the Season of Giving Thanks
As we come upon one of my favorite holidays, Thanksgiving, it always helps me reflect on how much I have to be thankful for. I am certainly blessed more than I deserve. I also occasionally hear, “I’m just not in a thankful mood.” Of course, we can all relate to the bad days, the tragedies ... Read more
A Little News and a Lotta Reflection
We are still experiencing the waves of disruption caused by the hard trend of baby boomer retirements. Companies and firms are feeling the void as they watch the mass exodus of knowledge, wisdom and experience walk out the front door into retirement. This baby boomer hard trend, as all hard trends do, provides us opportunities ... Read more

Gratitude Makes Us #beEvenBetter
Our world is spinning faster than the teacup ride at the amusement park and most of us are feeling pretty dizzy. That was always the one ride that always made me woozy.

This is Temporary
Just last night as I was straightening up our outside sitting area, I noticed CeCe had put out a new “thing.” CeCe likes to decorate and honestly, just between us, she is very talented with finding these “things” she accessorizes the house with. I laughed as I strolled by and glanced up to see our ... Read more
