Oh, Sherry!
We just finished celebrating my sweet Momma’s 70th birthday. In classic Sherry style, it was a destination invasion of the Charleston, SC area. With sixteen individuals in a house on Isle of Palms, multiple parties (including a “Through the Decades” themed costume party), good… Continue Reading “Oh, Sherry!”
Priceless
Leading into my 40th birthday, I had a 40×40 bucket list. A list of things that I wanted to accomplish that would challenge me—physically, emotionally, mentally, and spiritually. I accomplished much of the list and had some awesome experiences as a result. But, despite… Continue Reading “Priceless”
A Traveling Thanksgiving
Planes, Trains, and Automobiles. I LOVE to travel. At 41 years old, I’ve been to 42 U.S. states, multiple U.S. territories and British islands in the Caribbean, as well as 16 different countries (mostly in Europe).

Not a creature was stirring…
It’s beginning to look like Christmas… Okay, who am I kidding? It is freaking Christmas! The tree is decorated, and the stockings are hung. School is out.

Chase the Sun
Time. It’s a funny thing. 60 seconds to each minute. 60 minutes to each hour. 24 hours to each day. 365 days to each year (a bonus day even if it’s a Leap Year). It’s so… measured and predictable. The Earth spins on its… Continue Reading “Chase the Sun”
Small Great Things
If I cannot do great things, I can do small things in a great way. ~Martin Luther King Jr. I just finished one of the best books I have ever read. Small Great Things, a novel by best-selling author Jodi Picoult. It’s poignant, complicated, informative, and powerful. My colleague… Continue Reading “Small Great Things”
