From the variety of mushrooms to the fresh fruit and veggies. My husband’s all time fav is getting fresh flowers to brighten up our home every week…. Read more »

I just ticked off another year on this life’s journey. It was an excruciatingly tough year filled with growth, lessons and pain.

I recently had the honor of serving as moderator of rollingout’s Female Success Factor program with the theme of becoming a Social and Digital Mastermind. It was designed to give inspiration to women on their individual paths to making their mark in the workplace, as entrepreneurs and as artists by using today’s tools such as… Read more »
My daddy and I are pretty close. It has always been this way. We have not always agreed on everything – especially when I wanted to stay out all night and party till dawn while in high school – but we worked through our differences and now are like two peas in a pod. We… Read more »

I stopped getting prepared for my work day to listen to what the curators of the exhibit had concluded who and what to be cool in our society. Entitled “American Cool”, the… Read more »
