As we plunge into the holiday season, there will be triggers. Those tiny nuggets that invade our peaceful existence. During these festive times, we will also encounter many personalities. Lots and lots of personalities. This is why Santa only visits once a year. He...

There is are two ways to go when life throws you a curve ball. You can duck and ignore it. Or, you can rise and embrace it. On Tuesday, I received an email from the literary agent that was interested in reading the first fifty pages of my book. My fingers itched to...

I am a planner. It's just what I do. Along with being planner, I am also prepared. Well, most of the time. Saturday we were headed to Bowling Green to cheer on WKU as they played their last home game of the season. Seriously, last game, which reminds me that Bryce is...
