Think, Laugh, & Cry Each Day
When I travel home to the small town where I grew up, I compare it to slipping on an old comfortable coat that I haven’t worn in a long time. The coat is worn in spots, there may even be a rip or tear. At the same time though, the coat has been broken-in, it’s... Continue Reading →
I love the start of a new year. The calendar is fresh and full of possibilities. I'm, three days behind, but I love that if you want work on something in your life or pick up a new hobby, the calendar is wide open.

We could travel to Europe. We could stroll past the luxurious galleries and plazas surrounding the Louvre and the Tuileries garden for a classic romantic walk or take our picture together looking up at the Eiffel Tower. We could catch a table at Carretera Miramar, a picturesque, little café overlooking the city of Barcelonia, and... Continue Reading →
