Keep Going – A Tribute to Coach Tony Ingle
My best friend died of COVID-19 this week. My heart has ripped apart, consumed by grief, a fogginess clouding my brain ever since I received the news. Coach Tony Ingle got hit early December 2020 with the virus and called to tell me he wasn’t feeling so great. As always, we laughed through the fear […]
Adapt
The swivel chair of 2020 continues even in 2021. Whether we call it The Pivot, the Bounce, or the “fight your way out of a corner”, we have all had to adjust, rearrange, and adapt to what now is. The Christmas and New Years break came to a welcome end as the children returned […]
The Year 2020
“Worst Year Ever!” “Can’t wait until this one’s over!” “The Dumpster Fire that is 2020.” Plenty of lines and ways to describe a most indescribable year. We’ve heard them all, and said most of them, in an effort to put into words what has been experienced. I believe it is justified, so don’t […]

Celebrate The Wins
As the Zoom meeting closed, I smiled into the camera until all had for sure ended, and click – it was over. I had been staring into the ring light and camera lens for 6 hours straight, as Emcee for a multi-day virtual conference, and this was the 3rd and final day. Holding myself […]
The Joy of Walking
Come on a walk with me. Let’s talk. There is great JOY in the morning walk, I’ve found, and hope you’ve so discovered as well. As summer comes to a close and a chill greets each morning, it has been a delight to have the morning walk fill this summer pandemic, to feel the […]
Change Your Sleep, Change Your Life
Do you suffer from the inability to go to sleep? I have my entire life. Until lately things have finally begun to change, but it is a choice, as I’ve begun to make and keep simple promises that are making a huge difference. And it’s true what they say, “Change your Sleep, Change your […]
