My daughter, Taylor, is 15 this month!  Because she is a dancer and had recitals around her “Big Day,” we had to wait and celebrate that Sunday, which meant she shared her birthday festivities with me for Father’s Day. Last year, Taylor made up her mind that she...

Thank you everyone who sent Karen Happy Birthday Wishes recently! She had a fantastic day, having lunch with friends and dinner with her husband… She has a theory about getting older.  She hates it.  She has developed a way of coping for Post-Three O, and it’s worked...

We have a new look to our newsletter, and I hope you like it as well or better than our previous format.  We want to offer some more content that is difficult to access through an email, so we are bridging it through to our blog.   And we’re going to be offering some...

Wow!  This week has been so busy!   It’s what I love, though, with new clients, and talking to people about their particular situations and providing the solutions that work best for them and their families.  Plus, I’m getting ready for the upcoming free seminars,...
