Funny how things can pop out of nowhere that lead to great opportunities –or at least the possibility of great ones! I am meeting with an old friend this morning to catch up and discuss a possible opportunity for me to further expand and grow. I will share more when I know more! Just keep me in…

Presenting the Ruritan Citizenship Award Recipient: My Daughter
Sometimes, the universe speaks to me so loudly, letting me know I am doing the right thing. I saw this today from coach Zach Even Esh, who I met briefly last summer: Training Tip: If you train hard you must also rest “hard” – both are equally important I am sure it’s no surprise to…
