Lord, that was supposed be MY Blessing
“Seriously, they chose HER to be the next director?” I thought while walking into the breakroom after learning this news. Once there, it was like being back in high school where the popular girls, my so-called friends, dissected their latest victim, not much differently from the frog we had just left displayed in the science lab. Although I knew this was wrong, I kept my mouth shut, thankful not to be the subject of their venomous remarks. I figured that teenage girls naturally outgrew this kind of catty talk only to discover that women elevated it into full-blown verbal assaults.

But like the pains of childbirth, quickly forgotten when your baby […]

Manage Your Schedule before it Manages You
During a recent conversation with a friend, she lamented, “I feel so out of whack; I just can’t seem to get myself or my children on a schedule.” Chuckling, I replied, “I can’t seem to get myself off of a schedule.” My love for all things structured and pre-planned comes honestly, for I come from […]

But it was 99% off
Let me tell ya somethin’ . . . I am a hoarder who likes to purge. HA! — is that even a real thing?!? I like to think so, because like most things in my life, I live in extremes. I am not sure when it started but remember as a little girl loving “stuff,” lots of […]
