Bibbity bobbity boo! I have not posted in OVER A MONTH because sometimes when your heart is heavy, it is hard to be insightful and poignant. So forget ALL of that! In the spirit of Halloween, my fellow talented writer friends have put together small business review for ghouls and goblins. If you are looking…

I was 30. Before I was married. Before my children. Before I knew the words Mitochondrial Disease. At 30 I could give you a list of all my worries but looking back, I had a pretty charmed life. I was consulting for KPMG and I was scheduled to start my new gig on September 11th…

Vigo the Destroyer, a cruel leader from the 1500’s who comes to life in a painting and…

I woke up at 5:00 this morning- wide awake, listening to the Starlings dance on the roof and watched the sun slowly iluminate Longs Peak. June 30th always wakes me with a jolt, a collective FU(K, a deep sigh and a muddled plan to get through the day. It’s hard to relive one of your…
