  • December & the Gifts of Time, Gratitude, & Reflection

    It's December and the holiday season is in full swing! For many that means shopping, decorating, and gatherings filling up the calendars plus holiday to-do lists. It can also be a time when we are feeling that the end of the year is coming and we have so much left to do. It's super ea...
  • October

    I recently saw an image of a Fall-themed painting that got me thinking... It was of a pumpkin and the pumpkin was shades of orange and aqua blue and the background was aqua blue.

    Sometimes we are so busy in our daily lives that we don’t even think about the relationships we are part of. Other times, like Valentine’s Day in the month of February, relationships can be in the forefront of our thoughts. Whether it’s a holiday or just any day, we should periodic...

  • The Business of Choice

    As consumers, we are faced with choices daily. What products do we want to buy or need to buy? Where do we buy them? How do we buy them: online or in person? What services do we need? What about food? Do we cook ourselves or buy prepared meals? Carry out or dine in? So many choices. When making the...
  • What Does Success Look Like During a Global Pandemic?

    Boy has it been a rough couple of months… a bit of a challenging path on the journey! Aside from the stress specifically related to the global pandemic (and other things), there is also stress related to how much we are “supposed” to be accomplishing during this time. There can be...
