Not to alarm you, but I feel I must point out that the holidays are quickly approaching. I know, I too was shocked when I realized this. I feel like I finally just took down my bunting from the 4th of July, and now suddenly it’s almost Thanksgiving. Yikes. I don’t...

Look. I’m a Virgo. We think. A LOT. And imagine my dismay when I discovered YOU ARE WHAT YOU THINK. That’s discouraging. Lol Our thoughts create our reality. Which makes me think (see what I mean?) of how we start the day. How do you greet each morning? When the alarm...

My friend likes to remind me regularly that I am a mess. She will hear about the latest antics or adventures that I have somehow gotten myself into and just shake her head at me. A recent example: While leaving for a work trip to New Orleans, I went through security...
