Hello again! So I took a week off from blogging just because. Well, really I was away from home for a few days and as I have said all year, time management is not my strong suit. In my fantasy world, I have blog posts written and ready to go at least a month in…

September Goals-August Results
It’s time to review my goals from last month and look at what I’m doing for September. One of the things I’ve learned while engaging in this goal setting process is that if I don’t see it written down, I might forget what I planned to do. It’s not like I’m not doing other things. …

Podcasts-Yay or Nay?
So, I’ll get straight to the point. In terms of podcasts, I’m a yay! It’s surprising to me because I’m not one who listens to talk radio or even watches tv talk shows. In the car, I was always a music listener and my music was always loud. What changed? In 2014, the podcast, Serial by…
