My husband and I are watching the Patriots beating the Steelers 24-10 at halftime.

We all take a moment to stand back and take stock of whatever it is we do to assess the difference we make in the lives of others by doing it. The other day I got an anxious email from a faithful reader “being selfish” and demanding that I don’t stop writing this blog. She . . . → Read More: Stand Back, Take Stock Welcome to the fun Friday A-Z blog hop. This weeks letter is N and “Needs” came to mind when thinking about being able to find and follow one’s passion.

One thing I have come to learn about change is that it always occurs with a fair amount of chaos and discomfort.

If you told me two months ago I’d be doing this, I would’ve told you you’re crazy – no way would I get up at 6 am on a Saturday to leave at 8 to be at . . . → Read More: No Time To Waste |
