And we thought nothing could top the month of May! In June, I had the privilege of being a signing author at Tarryn Fisher's The Girls Are Back in Town event in Richmond, Virginia. In the weeks leading to this event, I was the most disorganized I'd ever been, with work priorities, home move packing and college orientation trips taking up all of my time. But choosing this event as my last one as an author was one of the best decisions I'd ever made! Not only was the event a success, I had the ...

The Merry Month of May
The month of May was life changing. My feet have yet to touch the ground. Speaking, signing, graduating, celebrating and merging. Where they all lead to, I have no idea. But in every single one of those moments, there were valuable lessons to be learned. On May 16, I spoke at a Woman’s Conference.

And now that it’s our last full day of vacation, I’ve had a lot of time to think. I watched as my children, now adults, sat by the pool, ordered drinks, ran around and took frequent naps. One of them loved Pina Coladas to death, the other kept wanting to eat at the buffet. The third one hardly spoke to us because she was too busy making ...
Too Much, Too Little
Ah. Yes, here I am in sunny Cancun, desperately trying to stop checking email. I suppose it takes at least a day for one to adjust to being on vacation. Kind of like jet lag. It has taken quite bit of craziness to get me to the point of wanting, craving, needing to go on this break. And the best part is that everyone is here with me – all three children have plucked themselves from their daily adult lives and decided that it would still be fun to go on vacation with their ...
