A personal journey into retirement.
With all the stress in my life, I have been trying to incorporate some mindfulness techniques into my life. I have tried meditation but my mind wanders so badly that I can never seem to get 'grounded' as they say. In fact, I can't even describe what 'grounding' feels like. If I try to think...

My recent trip to Dallas was a short turn around. Doesn't leave much time for exploring but you know I found some time to find a few 'beautiful things'.

Finding beauty wherever I can has really helped me not to dwell on the negative things in life. Life is meant to be... Continue Reading →
December is always such a hustle and bustle; black Friday shopping (this should be recognized as a full contact sport), cyber Monday, charity fundraisers, toy drives, you name it, everyone seems to be trying to cash in on the spirit of Christmas. For me, the best part of the season is the spirit of giving,... Continue Reading →
