My brother-in-law, Gene Kuhns, calls it being “rich in the tapestry of life.” Over the last few years, I’ve learned from my husband that you don’t have to be rich or make a lot of money to live a fun, full life. You can have a life that is fun and fabulous on a budget.

San Juan Puerto Rico: Travel Do’s and Don’ts
My husband and I just returned from a six day trip to San Juan, Puerto Rico. We had a great time. We had some pleasant surprises and some things that weren’t so pleasant. I’m going to share travel tips and suggestions about the places we visited. I thought I’d start off with some general do’s […]
Between a Rock and a Hard Place
What do you do when life has you between a rock and a hard place? You dig your roots deep and aim for the sun. Anything is possible for those who believe! My husband and I took a hike to Fall Creek Falls in middle Tennessee Saturday while away for our first wedding anniversary. On […]
Chattanooga Tennessee – The Scenic City
I’ve lived in the Chattanooga, Tennessee area my whole life, but I’ve never seen it quite the way I have with Dave over the last year or so since he moved here. Dave has a way of scoping out events, venues, music, and fun holes-in-the-wall for great food. While I’d been to the Tennessee Aquarium, […]
Our Beach Vacation to Apalachicola, Florida

Several years ago I set in motion a new trajectory for my life. I caught the vision of something wonderful and idealistic and I began working toward it — making major lifestyle adjustments and tough choices. In time, my life became anything but idealistic. It was hard and the further I went, the more that […]

Traveling Light Day 17: Messenger Mastermind
I had the opportunity to attend and speak at Tammy Ward’s Messenger Mastermind in Ogden, Utah today. I didn’t speak until three o’clock, and really enjoyed the presenters before me.

Traveling Light Day 16: Book Coaching
I put the finishing touches on my flyers for the How to Sell More Books class I’ll be teaching at Tammy Ward’s Mastermind tomorrow. Then Martina dropped me off to make copies while she took her kids somewhere. Afterward we ran to Costco and back to her house. This afternoon I had an in-person appointment […]
