Last night I went to bed in a shirt I have owned since I was about 12 years old. It is a pink XL 101 Dalmatians shirt from Disney on Ice. I remember it was one of the last shirts they had, and my petite self had one that went to my knees. I love …

Last night I was thinking about all the things that I needed to try to accomplish today. And I thought I should make a quick list to ensure that I remember what I need to take care of. I started out with the 4 things that were on my mind. That list held 20 things …

I’m working hard on my attitude. As I’m sitting here behind my home looking up at the tall roof peaks, I’m feeling a bit of dread knowing I need to (very soon) deal with the top trim. Which are very large (but not heavy) boards. I’ll have anti-fall gear on, and I’m capable… but I …

This morning I’m having coffee with these two girls. Meet Ramona (the ‘59 Custom Chevy) and Ruby, the Vette. I love driving cars, and I will never be in the market to own something that drives me. I get a rush when either of these girls rev up. I love the sound they make. If …

I enjoy sharing ‘office space’. When I worked in industry I enjoyed hearing the background conversations around me. I like having someone there to bounce stuff off. Working from home, often I lose that. But when my office space is shared for a time, I feel like that need is met.I know I am wired …

I love talking with friends, honestly much more than I ever liked texting them. I enjoy the vocal inflections and hearing smiles come through the phone. When you smile- can the person on the other line hear it? Have an amazing day y’all- and as always be kind 

Life is so much sweeter with friends. Even sweeter with friends who ‘get’ you. A ‘business’ meeting is much more productive and relaxed when you enjoy spending time with the person across the table from you. When you surround yourself with people that you want to be like, you will end up being the best …

I’m sitting here with my cup of coffee, listening to my favorite love song playlist, and feeling happy. I believe it was Jay Towers here in Detroit that said listening to love songs and Christmas music help build endorphins, which again, make you feel good. It’s why we love Christmas songs, and we all have …

Not everyone has a happy place in the garage… but I do. I’ve wanted my own workspace and tool crib area (I have a ton of my own tools- specifically for construction) and after 18 years of living here, I finally have my own dedicated space. This is a big deal for me because I …
