    Tell Me a Story

    Tis the season for family gatherings and good old summertime barbecues.  Friends and family come over to visit and eat and drink.  There’s always a group that nabs the chairs around the kitchen table as soon as they arrive.  Some will hit the patio or front porch, always a few that linger in the kitchen, and a…

    Gratitude

    Seems like when the universe is trying to get a message or some guidance to me, it bombards me with direction.  Every blog and article I read, every podcast I listen to, every vlog I watch will be related to that which I need to pay attention.  Clearly the universe knows that I don’t take…

  • The Ugly, the Bad, and the Good

    It’s Thursday, which means nothing really, but in social media world it has become #throwbackthursday. People posts pictures from last week, last month, their first 5k or marathon, or maybe a picture from high school, which for some us was a long, long time ago!

    This Post has No Title

    So many thoughts  ramble through my head and seemingly disconnected thoughts at that.  I like to be busy, but then I feel like I never get any down time.  I get down time and then I feel lazy for just sitting around. I enjoy being a plant-based clean eater, but don’t want to come across as…

    Clark Kent

    It is busy season in my world – aka tax season.  In my Clark Kent life, I am a tax accountant and tis the season for busy days and working weekends.  Endless chatter of itemized deductions,  the Affordable Care Act, tangible property regulations, capital gains and estimated tax payments can make even the most seasoned partner…
