Inflation seems to be the topic of the moment. Gas prices are extreme; food prices and everything else seems to be going up. I see posts on Facebook comparing our current gas prices to prices in late 2020. Personally, I don’t think any comparison to anything that happened in the...
Last weekend, my family did something we never thought we would do. We got another dog, making us a 2 dog family. This opportunity really just landed in our laps one day. My husband had sent a picture through Snapchat to a group of friends and the picture was of...
We were supposed to have strategic planning with our Boards and Leaders in March and April. Every time it gets “weathered” out. God, in His infinite wisdom, doesn’t want us to plan for some reason. We were explaining our projects to the Providers last week and to some guests from...
I was at my annual conference (American College of Healthcare Executives) in Chicago last week. Since I’ve been masked up for 2 years, I assume I’ve lost all natural immunity. No one - including me - wore masks at this gathering of 5000 healthcare executives, and so I caught a...

We had the pleasure of attending a horse show this past weekend. Maleigha performed on Friday and Saturday, and then participated in the Queen Contest on Sunday afternoon. It was a great experience with some valuable life lessons. We are fortunate to have a great group of parents and kids...

Spring feels like it is upon us. As I write this article, it’s about 68F outside and I’m wishing I was out there instead of sitting in my office. This week the kids are ready to be done with school and spring break is not coming fast enough. Every morning...
I can’t do it all! There, I said it, and I own it. I have been trying to split myself a million ways lately, and I have had to learn the very hard lesson of saying, “no, I just can’t make it work in my life right now.” I know...
