  • Intrepid possibilities and what’s been on my calendar in March…and unveiling my new Spring Possibilities List

    “Every new day begins with possibilities.”  ~Ronald Reagan As you may recall, I chose INTREPID and POSSIBILITIES as my 2025 Words of the Year. These two words together describe my intention for the year. One way of putting that intention into action…and sharing what’s been on my calendar (#WBOYC)…are my Possibilities Lists. With that in…

  • A few of my favorite things

    It’s been a while since I last shared a few of my favorite things, so I thought it was time.
