For me, this week has flown by. As I mentioned last week, I have a renewed energy around promoting my business. I have received some good coaching on how to be in public more. I am a fairly shy person, and talking to groups of people is uncomfortable to me. I am an outgoing and…
Last Saturday afternoon I attended a seminar given by Lisa Nichols. It was a 3-hour power event that was being held in over 20 countries worldwide. Lisa is a life coach and inspirational speaker who has been gaining in popularity in recent years. Her story is nothing short of amazing. She literally started from being…
Whenever I get to talk with someone I haven’t talked to for a while, after the catching up on what’s new in each other’s life, the conversation invariably turns to reminiscing about old times. This is especially true in regard to former coworkers. After working in the same place for the last 24 years, I…

They are a small…
I hardly know where to begin telling you about my week. Last week, on the evening of Saturday the 19th, my stepson and his wife stopped by for the night and to drop off their cat and dog for us to watch while they went to visit other family. Our nephew and his fiancé also…
Just 6 short days until Christmas. Despite this last week being very busy, with no spare time, I managed to spend just a few minutes a day to decorate the house with Christmas cheer. I am not done yet, but I am no longer stressed. I will have everything ready when my stepson and daughter-in-law…
