Press one for happy birthday

It is not for lack of content I have taken some time from writing this blog. If anything, there is an exceeding amount of content; so much so, it is challenging to know where to begin. I have had the good fortune of two visits to Manhattan in the past six months. There are so … Continue reading

Make a life you love

I’ve taken about ten steps back from social media, recently, with the thought of making available more time to paint. Two and a half years ago, I went back to school for my real estate license.

The Adventure is Yours

Sometimes life moves fast. Slow down. Slow down, if you can. Doesn’t seem to always be a choice, but maybe it is. Maybe it is in our control what we say yes to.
