Hi, there! I'm going to jump right into this week's Care because it's such an important part of living a great life! Ever since my car broke down and my cross-country trip was derailed and my plans for the family get-together changed and I found myself without a place to hang my hat and I suddenly had no means of transportation in a very rural part of the country ...

Welcome back to my space! I'm listening to birds chirp and turkeys gobble and the sun is shining. There's been a "gang" of what I'm calling teenage deer that gather in the morning and late afternoon, either behind my little cottage or in the front field. It's very serene.

LOL Here you go: "It's the simplest things that we tend to ignore that can make a big difference in our lives." We sometimes forget to do little things because we just don't think of them as important, yet they can have an impact on our day-to-day. Here's a shor

Welcome to Happy, Healthy Hump Day! I also call it The Care since I've started sending out The Seed (a little food for thought) every other Monday, The Bloom (a deeper dive into that thought) every other Thursday, and The Care every other Wednesday in between. My focus is helping us all get a little more healthy which I've found keeps us happier, too. This week I was inspired by something I heard on a webinar. I love being struck by inspiration, don't you?!? The speaker said
