  • Do

    Don’t settle. Do. -Brian Clark

  • Temporary

    Temporary from the Latin temporārius and tempus, tempor meaning time, describes something that is fleeting. Our lives are temporary, although we don’t view them that way until we are staring into the abyss of our own mortality. This past month we have been starkly reminded of just how temporary life is. It can be gone in the blink…

    Busyness

    Today I received an email from a very dear friend that I haven’t seen in a really long-time. She has recently retired and is trying to get a group of us together for a weekend of catching up. She offered up a number of weekends that are at least a month or more in the…

  • Zing

    This guy and several of his cohorts were with us when we went hiking at Kiptopeke State Park in Virginia.

  • Recharge

    Time to recharge. Change habits, change jobs, change. Why? Because it is the only way to grow intellectually and the only way to recharge those brain neurons of yours. I happen to love change. It gives me an opportunity to see things in a new way, experience new ideas, new people, new places, new options.…

  • In Gratitude 

    What are you grateful for?  Every day I make it a practice to write at least one thing I’m grateful for no matter what happens to me that day. Sometimes it’s just something simple, like my husband making coffee for me on dreary rainy morning. Sometimes it’s something deeper where someone has commented on how…
