My, how time flies. It is officially summertime in the Northern Hemisphere, 2022 is very nearly half over, and it’s time to check in on my Word of the Year progress. As a reminder, my word for 2022 is CONNECTED, as in… Connected to this moment Connected to my authentic self Connected to my amazing…
Fabulous failures and marvelous mistakes I was reading blogs recently…as I often do…and came across a combination that got me to thinking: this one on Debs Despatches that asked how you go about making decisions and another on Robby Robin’s Journey discussing women and confidence. No doubt, one of the biggest roadblocks to making big…
What are you going to do now that you are retired? I get asked this question almost daily since I announced my retirement. Usually I answer, “Whatever I want to!” Sometimes I give a little more detail: Stay up past 10 p.m. Delete my alarm. Schedule personal appointments on a weekday. Hang out in nature…
As we approach the end of another month, it is time once again for those of us participating in the 2022 Word of the Year Link Party to reflect on our chosen words. (Queue the fireside chat music…) Or considering this is a party, perhaps you prefer some dance music and a fancy cocktail. Whatever…
Last week I ended my blog post with the phrase “right as rain” and wondered aloud (or in print anyway) where that phrase came from.

I’m baaack… Well, sort of. As you may or may not have noticed, I took a couple weeks off from blogging. Hubby and I took a long-awaited and much-needed trip to Mazatlan, Mexico. We saw old friends we’ve been missing since COVID restricted travel. And made new friends, we hope to see more of in…
Here we are again, nearing the end of another month. Admittedly, I’m a week early for the WOTY Link-up, but since I plan to be on vacation next week…connecting with friends I haven’t seen for two years…and with the ocean, which I also have not seen for two years…I thought I’d write my April word…
Happy spring! And not a moment too soon. Of course, as I write this, my lawn is covered with snow. Welcome to spring in Utah. Don’t break out the flip flops quite yet…or at least keep them side-by-side with the snow boots. I don’t typically publish Thank You Notes mid-month, but I missed March altogether,…
Well, this month I had the first of what I am sure will be many lasts, as I count down to retirement. I participated in my final board meeting. It really hit me as I looked around the table that there is a good chance I will never see some of these people again…certainly not…
We are three months into 2022…a quarter of the way through the year! It seems like a good time to check in on whatever intention, goals, or Word of the Year you set for 2022. For me, that’s Connected. As in… Connected to this moment.Connected to my authentic self.Connected to my amazing body.Connected to my…
