Read MoreSweet60Success: Day 59: I wanna hold your hand
Every chance I get I spend time with my mom. Every chance she gets she holds my hand. Interesting how roles have reversed. She held my hand as a young child to keep me safe. I now hold her hand to support her and keep her safe. I don’t care how old we are or […]
Read MoreSweet60Success: Day 58: My new place
I am the most creative on a beach looking out at the ocean. Since I live in Sioux Falls, SD that does not happen very often! I have discovered my new place for being creative – at least in the summer. It’s on a beach chair looking out at Lake Okoboji. There’s something about the […]
Read MoreSweet60Success: Day 57: Time for a change
For the past 5 years I have held my annual fall women’s business retreat at the same hotel in Minneapolis. The staff is fantastic and are wonderful to work with every year. This is also the hotel I stay at every time I’m in Minneapolis and it feels like home. It also feels like time […]
Read MoreSweet60Success: Day 56: It’s pretty obvious
On the bike trail I came upon a sign letting me know a curve was coming up. I could see the curve before I saw the sign. It was pretty obvious what was going to happen. But, it was also a sunny day and I could easily see the path. What if it was foggy […]

Every time I have a computer issue I praise God for David. He has been in my life for over 13 years and I’ve told him many times he must never retire. I’m not kidding! He and his team can help me remotely or many times David makes a house call. He is customer service […]

Whenever I see a ‘dead end’ sign I always go a bit further to see if it is telling me the truth! It always is. Too bad there aren’t ‘dead end’ signs that pop up in our life. A dead end is when: Your thoughts tell you that you are not capable You pick up […]

Bruce and I were taking a walk on the bike trail in Okoboji, IA while on vacation. I like to think I’m in pretty good shape but after about a 2-mile walk I was ready to sit by the beach! During our walk we saw people golfing on a beautiful course. We came around a […]

I walked over to Addi’s house today to pick her up and take her for lunch. We have an ice cream shop close to our house and it’s the perfect distance for a walk. I told her we were going to pick up Abby to come along with us. ‘3 girls”, said Addi. “Not 4, […]

Over 20 years ago we purchased a time share at Village West in Okoboji, IA. For years we had the best week each summer with our kids at the lake. Our week was right before school started and it was perfect. A wonderful way to end the summer. Then the ‘powers that be’ decided to […]
