What you put in your brain is so important. Your self-talk is more important than what anyone else in the world can say to you. (Because YOU are with you the most!) So I want you to think of someone in your life who has always been your biggest cheerleader. If you don’t have someone […]
Matt- I choose YOU! Over and over again I would choose YOU! Remember before kids how we could stay up late and get up late? Oh ya, we have never been together without kids. Hopefully, someday we can have a real date without kids and maybe even an empty-nester honeymoon! Blending isn’t the easiest way […]
Years ago I would dread January. In the fall I knew what was coming- a dark, icy cold month and I’m always scared to drive! I would worry about it for months- how was I going to get through this winter? Going back to what my mom taught me I knew I had to find […]

I heard that song the other day—“I get knocked down, but I get up again”—and it made me smile. Life’s like that, right? Emotional, physical, or financial—sometimes we fall, but the real magic is in getting back up. Think about when we were kids learning to walk. We fell so many times, but did we […]
Many people go to college and pay a price—whether it’s money, time, or sweat—to learn. Some love school so much they keep earning degrees in all kinds of subjects, always chasing that next bit of knowledge. I was fortunate to attend college for one year.
