It seems that our country is divided yet again. This time it revolves around the Super Bowl halftime show, and whether the Kansas City Chiefs are representing Kansas or Missouri. For the record, they are in Missouri and our President corrected his tweet as he thought...

Imagine what you thought your life would look like and then check into reality. Do they match? Mine doesn't. It's better. Yesterday, as I watched Bailey play in a Special Olympics basketball game, I thought about how my landscape is so rich. As we inch toward Bailey...

Sometimes it is hard to believe that I am old enough to have two adult children. Sure, I wake up and feel like I am at least eighty, but I am rocking the fact that my face is showing minimal signs of aging. Bailey will be 25 this year and Bryce will turn 21. Holy...

I spend a lot of time in what I like to refer to as "holding hell". Between my mother's long-term health insurance and Bailey's many government assistance programs, listening to music-on-hold has become part of my normal. Along with everyone's need for me to do a...
