This past week, I passed a sign at an organization proudly noting that their community legacy matters. And, to me it most surely does. When we have children, we quite often think of our legacy. They represent us going forward. We pass on our values to them. We […]
A little over 11 years ago, I was on a day-long ferry trip from one Greek island to another. Ferry rides tend to be hit and miss for me. But that day was a good one despite having the beginnings of morning sickness. A state of being that […]
I’m both a planner and a spontaneous person. I both a why and a how person. But that’s not at all what this is about. I started right off the bat with a digression. Well, no. Not really. As a spontaneous person, I do often wonder why I […]
