Life can be crazy, just crazy. But a lot of it we bring on ourselves. We may not mean to but we do. What if we took on a new attitude of simplicity?

My birthday was a few weeks ago and Bruce and I took the family (minus our girls who need to move back to Sioux Falls!), plus his parents, out for dinner. About halfway through the dinner I noticed a lady at a nearby table get up and she was choking. Her husband was patting her on […]

Last week I was on my way to visit my mom. I have a specific route I take and I have driven it so many times I truly believe my car could do it by itself. There are two small towns I go through, and while I slow down, I don’t pay attention to the speed […]

Certainly puts a one-hour workout in perspective! One hour spent goal setting and journaling is only 4% of your day. One […]
Read MoreI am in St. Paul, MN right now on a 4-day business trip and I get to speak 3 times. Awesome! But life took first place before I got here. I had been preparing for my presentations weeks in advance but I knew I’d have plenty of time in the days leading up to my […]
