So, who are you voting for? Just kidding. I know who I’m voting for and you know who you are voting for … so, we’ll leave that right there. We all have our reasons why we feel our particular candidate is the better choice. Maybe we like their platform or even their personality. We may […]
When I was 16 years old, I had my first job as an “orderly” at a hospital. I was entrusted with transporting patients to and from the radiology department. I’m not sure what the patients thought when they saw me coming with the wheelchair or stretcher, but thankfully, we all survived. It’s not something […]
In anticipation of 2020, there was a battle cry at many new year’s celebrations: VISION. Not only was it a new year, it was a new decade! Everyone had a good feeling about it.

Is anyone else SO DONE with 2020? I have plenty of moments when I just want to put on my yoga pants and watch Netflix until 2021. Of course, I know I can’t do that (unless I want to add unemployment to my list of issues this year). The fact is…I am tired. I am […]
Twenty years. Who are those kids in that tux and wedding gown? It’s hard to believe but tomorrow, Lance and I will celebrate our 20th anniversary. It’s been a good 18 years (that was not a typo – :-)). We are like a lot of couples who went through the typical newlywed adjustments … and […]
