Fruits and Vegetables Made Easy

‘Tis the season of Farmer’s Markets and an abundance of fruits and vegetables grown locally. Well, almost. In winter, it can be such a challenge to find a tasty tomato or strawberry. June is the month in Indiana for homegrown strawberries. July is for blueberries and...

Choosing Wisely

Sometimes we attend luncheons or dinners, and the fare offered is rather limited. Perhaps, as I wrote in my blog last week, we feel like we are using up our 20% of the 80/20 rule. But maybe, just maybe, we can get by unscathed. Here...

Why 80% is an “A” on my Scale

Take a Step…Back

Do you often feel as though you can’t move fast enough? Too much to do and not enough hours in the day, right? We can get so caught up in our “To Do” lists that we barely breathe, and that’s never good. Sometimes we propel ourselves...

Ever Dream of Being a Superhero?

I did something out of the ordinary this week. I went to see a movie with my girlfriends. We all needed a break from real life to relax and have fun. The "scenes" before the featured film showed regular, everyday people becoming Superheroes, seemingly overnight....
