This last week sure was a long one, it seemed. There are several reasons for that, starting with me hurting my back. Last weekend, I worked outside pretty much every waking hour. The weather was really pleasant, and I enjoy beautifying the outside of the house. I pulled weeds, and trimmed rose bushes, and…
DetailsI did not foresee the events of last week coming. Or maybe, subconsciously, I did…In my last post I talked about caring for our senior horse, Copenhagen. He was not just another animal, he was part of our family for the past thirteen years. He was, for a long time, my daughter’s whole world. As…
DetailsThis week has been incredibly long. I have been working on a project at my day job, which has not been going well. I ended up staying late at work almost every day this week. I am installing equipment underneath a counter, where there is little room. I literally have to crawl part way into…
DetailsI am not really sure why, but since today is the first official day of my vacation, I feel more relaxed than I have in a while.

My outlook on life had started to dramatically change once I realized that I now have a partner…
DetailsFinally, I am back to blogging. The last several weeks have felt like I was barely keeping my head above water. There has been no lack of work at either of my jobs, and at the end of each day I felt exhausted, and frustrated that I didn’t accomplish more. Getting out of town for…
DetailsFor me, this week has flown by. As I mentioned last week, I have a renewed energy around promoting my business. I have received some good coaching on how to be in public more. I am a fairly shy person, and talking to groups of people is uncomfortable to me. I am an outgoing and…
DetailsI have so much to say, I don’t even know where to begin. In my last post, I told you that my husband and I were going camping at a state park nearby. Despite the weather forecast for storms, we did indeed go camping. We stayed in a screened-in shelter that was right on the…
