The best piece of information that I got when I re-entered the workforce in 2011 was this: “You are going to screw up.” Bluntly, my new boss left it at that. I was a bit speechless. But after the initial shock of the statement, it kind of freed me up from worrying about doing the wrong thing. Because I was going to at some point. After that first…
That’s how many miles are in a marathon. That is how many miles three other friends and I walked on Sunday at the Saratoga Battlefield. We set out to walk a marathon, and we did it! All I can say is wow! I am unsure where to begin, as it was a very powerful day when I think back on it. After a few attempts to get 6…
I would like to introduce you to 5 very important friends of the Morning Ag Clips: Reliability, Integrity, Authenticity, Teamwork, and Joy. This group of five is considered our inner circle, the core. It is the team we go to at the Morning Ag Clips when we need a reminder of who we are and what our purpose is every day. These 5 dig in, roll their sleeves…
One of the most influential summers of my life…1996. It changed my trajectory. I went into the summer as a rising senior from Cornell University, bound for a profession in veterinary medicine. I had no idea that things were about to change. Or that it was perfectly okay to make a change. I came out, eyes wide open, bounding for something else. But what? I spent the summer…
Things on my mind… It’s here, the end of summer, finally on October 29th. I put my flowers to bed for the season yesterday, just in time for the cold, wet weather to arrive this morning. Fall is here in the Northeast. I cut every possible flower I could find in my garden that still had vitality. Now, I have beautiful bouquets all over my house, big vases,…

Take the plunge! A Polar Plunge! I did it! It was fun, it was exhilarating! I was certainly alive! Yesterday, before the Greenwich Tractor Parade, 5 friends decided to jump in the Battenkill River at the Arlington Covered Bridge to raise money. The cause was the Operation Santa project for our school district. Each of us donated money, as our “buy in” to be able to take this…
On Tuesday, November 5, 1985, my life and the way I think of goodbye changed, forever. Over the last few weeks, I have watched close people in my life suffer through losing people close to them. I have been affected. Loss is a trigger to reflect and go deep within yourself. And even though it may not be your loss, you can’t help but be affected watching people…
Happy Holidays!!! Merry Christmas and Happy Hanukkah! I am writing to you to wish you and your family a happy “holiday season.” As much as it is fun, it is also full of stress. 🙂 Really, it wouldn’t be the holidays if it didn’t have its challenges. As I sit here on this 23rd day of December, an hour after my last Christmas present was purchased, I…
It’s the little things that give me the energy to get through every day. I am so thankful for them. I thought I would honor those this Thanksgiving. It seems that the big things always get the attention. I am grateful for the big things like my kids, family, friends, and health. I recognize that what keeps me happy in my day-to-day life are these little joys that…
