Kids
The two people that come to mind when I think of family members are my kids. They are two of my favorite people to hang out with, and I’m lucky they still do want to hang out, as they are in their late (?!) twenties. They are compassionate people, and it has been humbling to…

Big Risks
Thinking about big risks in life…. There are a lot of things that I’ve really wanted to do that I have done- going back to school for nursing as an adult in my forties (!) was one of them. But there are still things in my heart that I’d love to do that require a…

Something to try for the first time- being early
I admit it. I am almost always running late. I mean, I get places on time, but only just. I tend to squeeze as many minutes as I can for things that I really want to do. In fact, right now I am due to be at work in 16 minutes. So something that I…

Brands (Or Lack Of) I Associate With
My favorite brands: The generics. The ones on sale. Great Value. I’m not much of a brand person. I shop at discount stores. I love snacks from brands I’ve never heard of before. Strange gummie candies. Weird yogurts made of odd ingredients. I’m a cautiously adventurous eater. So I’ll see crackers made from crickets and…

The Best Advice I Ever Got
I am sitting here trying to think of all the advice I’ve gotten over the years… and for some reason I can’t remember much of it. But something that my grandfather always impressed upon me was to stay in school. This might not seem like a big deal to some, but he was born to…
