So what is the beginning? On this day, 55 years ago, my life began. I must say that even only a few years ago, my vision for this day was very different than today’s reality. I had envisioned a big birthday party in my desert home with family and friends from all around the country [...]

I am finding the end of this year to be a personal challenge. It feels like there are a lot of endings – or maybe it would be more accurate to say there is a lot of letting go. I won’t be going to North Carolina to visit my nieces for the first time since [...]

I listened to a teleseminar given by Suzanne Evans recently. She is a mindset and marketing coach who helps solopreneurs develop their businesses into profitable enterprises while helping a lot of people.

I started this blog in April 2008. It was part of a website about losing weight by avoiding foods that people test sensitive to. It was a great idea that never really got off the ground. Not sure why. It helped some people (mostly friends and family) lose weight and feel better. And I am [...]

In a few days it will be Thanksgiving. Every newsletter I get is filled with gracious reminders to be thankful for the many blessings that we have in our lives.

I am home visiting my Mom at the moment. It is always great to spend time with her. She still lives in the house I grew up in so it is a home filled with memories for me. I still miss my Dad even though it has been three years since he passed away. It [...]

I participated in a four-hour webinar on Saturday morning. It started at 8 am Eastern time, so being on Pacific time, I had to get started at 5 am. Not being a morning person, I was a few minutes late, but there was a lot of great content in four hours, and there was no [...]
