I love to garden. Actually, I love the idea of working in the garden. What I really enjoy is sitting on the patio with a glass of ice tea and a book enjoying the garden. Gary, my husband takes care of the yard and it’s beautiful. People always comment on how well maintained it is.…
Woohoo! It’s summer time. The sun is out, the days are long and everyone seems a bit more relaxed. I love this time of year. I still want to play outside all day, like a kid on break from school without a care in the world. The reality, though, is that I am an adult,…

If you are waiting to feel safe and have all of the answers before you try something new, you are out of luck. It doesn’t work that way. It’s amazing how many things we don’t do in life because we are scared. Yet if you look back, weren’t you scared before you did anything of…
It’s amazing how much time is spent on social media. Connecting with others has never been so much fun. Yet somewhere along the way, people got confused about the true role it plays in networking and building a business. There are courses that teach social media as the golden ticket to success. It’s important, but…
