Today, as an introvert, (who, by the way, is working to get over her stage fright by volunteering to be a presenter), I'm taking the stage and doing 2 back to back presentations to 2 groups of about 30 or so people. Last night, I tossed and tossed and tossed and turned and my mind… Continue reading Ready or not, take the shot

A welcome trail to and from the empty nest
In one month I've had the opportunity to see both of our daughters. As they came and went, I thought back to when they were just little tikes that needed their parents.
