A Holiday Reflection

I have been through such an unusual year that it gives me this opportunity to reflect and share with all of you what I personally think is important. I was hospitalized not long after my big charity event in May, spending 8 miserable days in the hospital, but blessed enough not to need any surgery. […]

Better to Give (Back) than to Receive

Did we not learn about helping others as children in order to feel good about ourselves? I can’t even count how many times I heard, “it’s better to give than to receive”! I think that is one of the most important things I learned as a child and is part of the reason why I […]

Scale Back During the Holidays

For me instead of dwelling on my recent issues I feel like a reflection on the past is in order. Try to stay focused during the holidays, even though you are dealing […]
