My goal at the beginning of 2022 was to read at least ONE book a month… which in theory, seems like a pretty easy goal to accomplish. However, prioritizing reading was not high on my list, so I had to figure out a way to make it a priority in order to reach my goal. …
At the beginning of the year (2022) I decided I was going to keep track of all the books I read, physical books and audio books, in list form on a simple NOTE on my phone, month by month. I wanted to not only see how many books I actually read (vs how many I …
* Rules For Being a Girl by Candace Bushnell & Katie Cotugno This might seem a little bit silly to say considering I’m 45 years old and referring to YA (young adult) literature, complete with teen angst and problems I left behind almost 30 years ago… BUT OMG THIS BOOK WAS INCREDIBLE!

Way back in 2012 I received an email asking if I’d like to partner with Sseko, a socially responsible brand that employs woman in Uganda and teaches them the skills to make beautiful leather sandals and handbags (and so much more now!) which, in turn, gives them opportunities to go to college and better their …
I LOVED this quick TedTalk by Sarah Knight, author of The Life-Changing Magic of Not Giving a F*ck on mental decluttering, learning how to say no without feeling guilty, setting boundaries, and giving fewer f*cks using honesty and politeness. Sometimes it’s difficult to say no to things you don’t want to do. You feel guilty …
As a creative person, I’m always thinking up new ways to do things and new things to create or new businesses to start or be involved in… and occasionally I share those things with other people, especially when I’m excited about them.
