Finding Balance in Social Media
Back in October, I wrote my first post about navigating social media. I indicated that I would continue to share with you the journey of social media in my life. As a Social Media Admin by day and a book author marketing my own book by night, the challenge to learn more about social media …
Marriage: New Discoveries
After being married thirty-two and a half years and knowing my better-half for almost thirty-four years, I learned something new about him while celebrating Christmas during a pandemic. I know, it's incredibly amazing to think you know someone, and then find out that maybe you don't know them as well as you thought you did. …
Welcome to 2021
And just like that we are into the new year. Do we feel any different? Are we planning new goals? Have we made a list of new year's resolutions? Or perhaps, we are trying something different this year. Instead of new year's resolutions, I am trying a new way of tackling to-dos. I just learned …

Buckling Down on Goals
The thing about goals is that in order to get them done one must buckle down and tackle them. It's all too easy to keep putting them off. I'm too tired. I had a busy day. Visiting with family and friends is more important. I needed to do chores...or buy groceries...or pay bills. The list …
