Motivational Monday!
Rory McIlroy won the Masters Tournament yesterday in Augusta, GA—and if I left it there, and you aren't a fan of golf, you would be so misled. There is so much more to, "Rory McIlroy won the Masters yesterday," that makes the story that much more exciting as well as...

Saturday night, Doug and I stayed in to watch the NCAA Final Four. Doug has the Florida Gators Men's Basketball to win it all, so of course I was rooting for them—although I knew nothing about the Gators before the 6 pm tip-off. The game was incredibly exciting, with...

Yesterday, in the torrents of rain, my sister in law and I went to see the Anne Frank exhibit in New York City. The exhibit is an immersion of sorts as we were transported back in time to WWII and all that the Frank family was forced to horrifically endure in Germany,...

Last night the Philadelphia Eagles beat the The Kansas City Chiefs to win the Super Bowl and become the 2025 World Champions. There were a few big takeaways for me after the game was over and none of them really had anything to do with the game that day. In case...
MOTIVATIONAL MONDAY!
February is a BIG month! I believe it's big because January is "done and dusted," as they say, and so I'd like to circle back to our goals. How are you fairing? Did you successfully complete "Dry January," if that was your thing? Are you still going to the gym, if...
