Humbled, excited to serve, to grow, and learn… When I was 22 years old, living in England (Kensington, London) for a summer with an internship and college course, I had a wonderful professor who told me I was smart. I had gone my whole life up to this point, without ever hearing those words. HeContinue reading “New Adventures”

Readers Become Leaders
“I cannot live without books.” Thomas Jefferson, 1815, in a letter to John Adams. As a small child and through elementary school, I was a poor reader. I remember being in low-reading classes, struggling to sound out words, and I didn’t like to read. It was hard. I would stumble through words, not making properContinue reading “Readers Become Leaders”
Long Live the Queen
Queen Elizabeth’s funeral is tomorrow and I can’t help but write a short blog/tribute to her as a queen, leader, mother, grandmother, head of state, and the list could go on and on.

Why do we celebrate Labor Day? September 5th is Labor Day but what is it, why do we celebrate it and how was it founded? For many of us, it marks the end of summer and the start of school or the fall season. For others, it’s nothing more than a day off. But thisContinue reading “Labor Day”

The pictures, videos, soundbites, etc. are scary and heart-wrenching. I normally don’t blog about politics, and this will be a short blog, but I cannot imagine livingContinue reading “PEACE”

I am not sure what you think of when you hear the word “love”. That is a pretty heavy word that evokes a lot of thought and emotion. Some people have very happy, whimsical, joy, comfort, security, as emotions tied to the word love while others have hurt, pain, anxiety, bitterness, anger, etc. Love isContinue reading “What is Love”

Inspiration Board
It is getting close to a new year, and besides working on my New Year’s goals, working on my mess of an inspiration board is on my list. An inspiration board (some call a vision board) helps you pull together your thoughts, goals, ideas, etc. that visually bring you joy and that inspire you. IContinue reading “Inspiration Board”

So, this blog will explore a number of lessons learned. Hoping you get a chance to reflect and dig deepContinue reading “What 2021 has taught me…”
