If anyone was wondering what happened to me and my writings, let me start with an apology. While my primary focus for my business is coaching clients, I am always trying to create and/or improve my programs, and to reach out to people whether they are actually clients or not. That involves a lot…
DetailsTemperatures here in Texas are reaching 100 degrees most days, now. Summer seems brutally hot every year. The horses have salt lines on their backs, and the cats and dogs just lie around in the shade. On the weekends, we work outside around the farm and the house. We get up around sunrise, have…
DetailsWhile I was mowing with the tractor this morning, my mind was covering a lot of ground of its own. I started to contemplate some things that I will admit I hadn’t given a lot consideration to—at least not in a long time. I have always considered all the work required to keep our…
DetailsWell, our three little kitties have settled in. They know the routine and don’t give us very much trouble. I say that like they are teenagers when in fact they are like toddlers.

DetailsThis week has really been a test of my resolve to take things in stride. My workweek was so incredibly busy that I was exhausted at the end of every day. Normally, I would try to do some small things at home after work, but it was not possible this week; and being tired…

Saturday I spent resting, and trying to care for my husband. He was starting to show signs of being sick, and of course, my coughing all night long had disrupted his…
DetailsThe last several weeks have been not at all what I expected. Life has been coming at me from all directions, requiring my full attention, and leaving little time for the daily tasks involved in running a business. It seems that not all that long ago I was in a comfortable routine. I had…
DetailsThis last week sure was a long one, it seemed. There are several reasons for that, starting with me hurting my back. Last weekend, I worked outside pretty much every waking hour. The weather was really pleasant, and I enjoy beautifying the outside of the house. I pulled weeds, and trimmed rose bushes, and…
DetailsMy husband would be the first to agree with that. I think that I am trying to do more now than at any other time in my life. Even when my daughter was younger and riding and showing horses, I still had time to do some sewing and maintain a flowerbed. These days, with…
