Don’t Bark at the Amish Horses (They Don’t Care)
My dog, when he was alive, loved to bark at the Amish buggies and horses, that would trot up and down our road multiple times every day. He was a herder. He loved to chase things that were on the move, no matter what they were. It was more than “loved to”- he was born…

Good Leaders
A good leader- Shows and doesn’t tell (they don’t have to). Leads by example. Is strong and kind. Knows what is important. Knows how to apologize. And knows when to admit that they were wrong. Good leaders inspire others to do the right thing. Last night, one of my local radio stations played some of…

Where I’ve Felt Loved
Sitting here watching the snow come down in big chunks outside and thinking about where I’ve felt loved… I always felt loved with my Uncle, no matter where we were at. Uncle Rodney was always glad to see you and it showed. He had a cool muscle car and an ever-present, slightly-guilty grin on his…

Reduction
Where can you reduce clutter in your life I’ve been thinking a lot about reducing clutter in life, and actually doing it too… there are so many types of clutter. There is the oh-so-easy-to-notice physical clutter, which many people say is a reflection of mental or emotional clutter. There can be financial clutter. Social clutter.…

Can You Be a Cat and Dog Person?
Do you think you can be both? It’s like saying you love the beach and the mountains, which also describes me to a tee. My favorite animals are cats and dogs. I love cats because of their personalities. They are soft. The ones that I’ve had over the years love sitting on you or next…

Mission Possible
What is your mission Over the years, like many people, my mission has changed. When I was young, I wanted to get a good job, make money, have fun. Then life took a different turn. I had kids. Became a stay-at-home mom. Got involved in support groups for moms, homeschoolers, and teaching/learning. I had the…

Playtime- Can we please be playful with goals?
I love the beginning of the year. It always feels like a clean slate to me. A time to think about a whole new year ahead, and what do I want to do with it? (Read.) Where do I want to go? (Mexico. Again.) Who do I want to see? (Metal bands.) What do I…

Challenges
We all have them. Challenges- big, small, in-between…now that 2025 is over, I’m thinking of the challenges that I’ve had over the past year. And one of my biggest challenges was fitting in running, in between seasonal allergies and respiratory infections. It wasn’t easy! Last year was a year in which I got sick more…

Grocery Shopping
I kind of love going to the store. This wasn’t always the case. It used to be such a stressful time, when my kids were babies and we were struggling to make ends meet. Now, I still lament the cost of things to my (adult) kids who just say, “it’s inflation mom!” But I don’t…

Favorite Exercise… Running Races
I really love to run. Also, by running I mean jogging. 😛 When I was younger, I could never run very far for very long. I was involved in sports a little bit during high school, but nothing that involved extended periods of running. In my 30s, I decided to try a 5k along with…
