You guys know I love the What I’ll Tell Sweet E series. This post is a twist on that, with a lesson for all of us who love someone (you know, ALL OF US!). What I’ll Tell {Told} Boy I was working through a business course exercise that would enable me to get clear on …
I’ve written before about my father and the things he taught me in his short life and this Father’s Day I will remember and honor his wisdom once again. There is no denying the importance of Dad in our lives. The yin to our mother’s yang (mostly), the lessons that a male perspective offers, and …

If you’ve read here, even for a short time, you know of my deep love for my family. I LURVS THEM! When I’m with any of them, they have my full attention. I’m all in, making every moment count. I wouldn’t have it any other way. I’ve lived long enough to know that things can …
