Raise your hand if 2020 looked anything like the plans you made for it at the beginning of the year. Me neither. But you know what? Given this year's tough circumstances, I never would have guessed that I'd exceed my top 2 goals. And although I de ...

Looking back (to move forward)

Last week I reminded you that, no matter what's going on in the world, life doesn't pause. But that doesn't mean that this year hasn't been a challenge (or that plans haven't been upended). One of my goals at the beginning of the year was to increase ...

Does it feel like you've hit the pause button for most of this year because. . . 2020? If that's you then you're in good company. I've had several recent conversations about this with friends (and see similar sentiments in my Facebook and Instagram ...

Too happy (is there such a thing)?

November 24th, 2020 at 8:00 am CST

When I was in college I once got a date because of how 'happy' I was every morning (I think the exact word was "spunky", but I've never loved being called that). Little did he know that I turn into a pumpkin at 9pm. ;-) For a long time, I've heard ho ...

Good or bad, Friend? It's your choice.

Can you believe that we're close to the END of November already? Here in the United States, we're about to celebrate Thanksgiving. Before you know it, Christmas (and then New Year's Eve) will be upon us too. If you're like most people, the magic you ...

Last week's newsletter about what needed to be said brought lots of interesting feedback (thank you to all who responded with thoughts of your own). And so I wanted to continue on last week's theme, but on a brighter note (so stick with me, Friend). ...

needs to be said

There’s a jogging and bike trail (that crosses a six-lane, busy street) on my way to/from my kids’ school. The city recently added a mid-block crosswalk with a button for pedestrians to push if they want to cross (that activates traffic lights fo ...
