Luckily, I have a bike and can easily take it out for a spin. However, there is a hill by my house, and whenever I go on a ride, I…
The future is inevitable. We all have heard this phrase, or something similar, at one point or another. While the future is impossible to avoid, the unknown aspect of it can cause many people to be fearful. It’s up to us to decide how to approach the future. I suggest we use the future as a chance to embrace–and trust–the…

Don't you just love a good neighborhood hardware store? You walk in with your goal/challenge, and look for someone who will listen. You trust them to work with you, find the right aisle, the right paint color, the right knob. Boom. They direct you to the exact location you need to go to solve your current project or challenge.…
Imagine yourself as a kid, sitting in the “way back” of your Brady-Bunch, paneled station wagon (without seat belts, if you are of a certain age.)

What the heck is a “shacket” anyway? And how did I get this far in life without knowing that I “needed” one. My inbox is filled with ads from Nordstrom and Banana Republic telling me that I MUST have this MUST-have trend of the season. What do you think about something that is trying to be a “jill-of-all-trades?” Do you…
