Simplify Your Life and Stress Less
Let me start with a confession: Traveling gives me anxiety. Specifically, the packing part. For someone who preaches simplicity, you’d think I’d have this one nailed. But no.

And by spinning, I mean overanalyzing every little thing that happened in my day. This accomplished absolutely nothing, except making me more anxious about getting enough sleep for the next day. …
Lessons I Learn From My Dog
They say a dog is “Man’s Best Friend.” But when a WOMAN has a dog, I think the bond is even greater. My eldest daughter refers to my dog as “The Favorite Child.” She still insists that he was her ‘replacement’ when she went off to college 10 years ago and that he is totally spoiled. …
