Life is a balancing act, and often we discover that what is priority for us may not be of importance to another. Finding a common ground that works with family and friends can go a long way in nurturing friendships and personal care. In this episode I reflect on times when one priority was in fact supporting the role of another priority, with a reminder that life with loved ones is

Life brings lessons in many different ways. This past week I worked hard to prepare for a craft show, and unfortunately it was not well attended. At the end of the day, I still had a great time. The time that I spent getting to know the other vendors was worth so much more, and I will always have great memories of this past weekend. When we are gracious with an attitude of gratitud

I am a creative thinker, and maybe a bit on the quirky side. I recognize my creative thoughts don't work on a 9-5 schedule.

In this episode I touch briefly on the topic of fun, and the importance of having fun in day to day living. This is just a "taster episode" to get you thinking about this topic, and next week I will be chattin

Neighborhoods can be a lot of fun, and sometimes they can be a challenge. In today's episode I share stories of the good and not so good, with a positive focus on neighbors who became like my own family.

Pay it Forward is a term we often associate with buying someone a coffee at the drive-thru. Have you ever picked up the tab for someone you didn't know, simply because you wanted to do a kind thing? Does Pay it Foward only happen with restaurants and drive-thru's, or is it a concept that can be applied in every day life? In this episode I talk about Pay it Forward, and it
