No matter where you were, this summer was HOT. Stiflingly hot. Our ability to get outside was next to impossible as the heat seemed to suffocate us. But there has been a shift, a change in the air. Even if where you are is still hot. There are hints of fall in the air. And…
The wonders of the The Great Outdoors are somewhat buried among John Candy’s and Dan Aykroyd’s bumbling antics in their cult-classic movie. The family fights against nature as the raccoons and bats terrorize them. Hiking turns into a disaster. And water skiing? Well, that was an adventure all on its own. There really is nothing…
We all have habits. But not all habits are created equal. We have good habits, and we have bad habits. Unfortunately, it seems like the bad habits are easier to form than the good habits. Probably because, even though they are bad for us, we tend to find them more enjoyable than what we consider…

And let’s face it; not having a job – especially when it has been your purpose – is stressful. Some people stress eat, while others stop eating completely. Neither option is a…
No one actually likes going to a regularly scheduled doctor’s appointment. Or a dentist appointment. I mean seriously. They are time taken out of our busy day to either find out what is wrong with us or what could be wrong with us. Maintenance we don’t want to admit we need. Work provided a wonderful…
