Easter. When I was young Easter meant spending the night at my grandparents’ house. My sisters, cousins, and I looked forward to the Easter Bunny visiting, while I am sure my parents, aunts, and uncles looked forward to the night off from children. Staying at Grammy and Grampa’s became a tradition that started when my mother’s younger sister, Alison, was still living at home. She was and always…

I guess this has become a “thing.” I admit, it was fun, especially at the end of a gray, rainy, and busy week of work. But recently, it has given me another reason to pause and think…

Yesterday, I was walking on the beach in Fort Myers, Florida, and today, I am bound for the mountain air of Denver, Colorado. Commodity Classic, here I come! I’m looking forward to a fast, whirlwind two days. There are so many people to see and meet. I already feel my head spinning because my dance card is packed full. If you are there and want to connect, send…
I was consumed this past week by what I think was the flu, which has now turned into a cold. I am a mess, but I am on the mend!
