One Step At A Time
Hi Friends! Have you ever felt so overwhelmed with all the projects you wanted to complete that you didn’t know where or how to get started? I asked my friend this question the other day and she said, “Welcome to being an entrepreneur.” It’s so true. As an entrepreneur you are a one-man show (until… Read more »
Finding Your Best Mentor

I hope you all enjoyed the holidays, too, and were able to spend some quality time with your loved ones. I thrive off of fresh beginnings, so it’s no wonder I’m feeling excited by… Read more »
Set For Success
Hi There! Hope you are enjoying this holiday season with your loved ones! I’m getting pretty excited about the New Year (as in I can hardly sleep because I have so many ideas running through my head) and was thinking you might be too! I have a couple of tips and tools to help us… Read more »
I Want A Daddy
Hi Friends! I hope you all are doing well and getting excited about the fast approaching holiday season.

Cheese, sending dad a present (Ellie’s artwork) via a balloon and a birthday cupcake where El plans to blow out the candle! A couple of days ago, I spent… Read more »
Food to my Soul
(That’s me hugging the incredible photographer Taylor Lord (who took our family photos) at the Fotolanthropy event.) Hi There! It’s been a little while since my last post, but there is a lot to catch you up on. First off, this past Tuesday I was invited to be honored at a Fotolanthropy event of the screening of Travis: A Solider’s Story. Fotolanthropy is a non-profit… Read more »
What Might Have Been
Today would have been seven years that Andrew and I would have been married. Sometimes I like to think about what our relationship would have looked like had he survived cancer for a second time. I truly believe those would have begun the best years of our marriage. If you’ve read Andrew’s book, A Gray… Read more »
