Bird-bath my body, to bed with wet hair, Sleep like a newborn, up and down all night with cares. My pillow was damp when I lifted my head, Stretch, check the clock…5 a.m., it said! Set up […]
Work Through The Pain
You have a doctor’s appointment at 10:00 am. You arrive at 9:42, sign in, and take a seat in the waiting room. At 10:56, the nurse finally calls you back. You then sit in the exam room waiting on the doctor for another 20 minutes, only to be scurried around and pushed back out the […]
Self Esteem Issues for the Self-Employed
Let’s have a chat about self esteem issues, and how that affects your business when you’re self-employed, shall we? I believe it really needs addressing. I have a pet-peeve. I can’t stand pity sales. I cringe when I hear someone trying to drum up business by attempting to make the customer feel sorry for them. I […]

Balancing work, family, and just life in general, is so challenging! Yesterday morning was just like any other peaceful morning, and I was working away on this post, until the […]
Short Road Trip: Pensacola Beach!
Happy Friday, everyone! Another weekend is here, but I just don’t see how this one can top last weekend! I mentioned on Wednesday that we traveled to see Daddy-O and JiJi, and I may have mentioned that they live on the Florida panhandle. I may have even teased you with a picture. I’m not done […]
Honeysuckle Air
I wish I could share smells with you guys. I just can’t explain the fragrance of honeysuckle, a weed that hangs out in fence rows all day. The smell is everywhere, all over the place, and it’s just heavenly. It’s a weed! I think what most people consider weeds are some of my […]
