The Good Wife (How email saved my marriage)

February 8, 2019

The Good Wife: Image of a young couple at their wedding.

The first marriage conference Tony and I attended was pretty much a fiasco. Suffice it to say, our car was silent on the drive home. The window I rested my cheek on felt cool which was a good thing since my face was flushed from all the emotions simmering inside of me. Was our marriage […]

Thanksgiving Story: image of woman with a roasted turkey

Looking back, it’s a blur, a filmy orange streak. Thanksgiving Day 2012, that is.  I thought I was ready, that this would be the year I’d achieve my goal. I didn’t want much, just to get all the food on the table at the same time. At the appropriate temperature. I was on track, too, […]

The Boss I Loved and Hated (Plus my #1 recommendation for changing bad behavior)

September 14, 2018

The Boss I Loved and Hated: Image of Albert Einstein

The boss I loved and hated resembled Albert Einstein with a tan.  Thanks to Clinique bronzer. Okay, so I didn’t actually hate him. It just took me a super long time to forgive him after he made me weep in front of the whole staff.  I don’t cry easily, but he could be vicious. “That […]
