They say old dogs can’t learn new tricks. I beg to differ. The older I get, which OMG I THOUGHT I WAS ONLY 35 BUT REALIZED I’M ALMOST 37, I realize I have a huge desire to learn new things. Which brought me to … Today’s (totally and completely optional) prompt: What new tricks would […]

Right now, home for us is in a suburb of Atlanta. It has great schools, wonderful people, and even calls the city center a village. What isn’t to love about it? But home has changed over the years. It’s truly become more of a “where we live” type thing. We’ve lived in Alpharetta, Macon, Fort […]

I have a confession to make. I enjoy running. There, I said it. Are you happy? Yeah, yeah, you told me so.  On June 11, I woke up and something made me sign up for Couch to 5k. I hadn’t been thinking about it or anything. Hell, I’d just a few days earlier said out […]

I Am Me

I’ve been having on and off insecurity issues since I started working. I’ve needed to remind myself that I AM ME. I am who I am. And that’s good enough. Sometimes we ALL need to remind ourselves of the good (or not so good) qualities we possess. Remember, you are MORE THAN WELCOME to just […]
