It’s The Little Things

These are my gardening shoes.

Today they were also my running shoes.

You see,, I don’t run. I mean, it would take the US Marine Corps all coming at me at once to make me even think about jogging. It’s just not my thing.

But today for, goodness knows whatever reason, my mind told me to go for a walk, and then jog, and then run.

And since I had already put these shoes on for yard work, when the forces that be intervened, I knew I had to just go with the flow.

See, if I would have taken the time to change shoes, I would not have gone. I would have walked out of the backyard, through the house, up the stairs, through my bedroom and into the closet, and by that time talked my self out of doing something different.

It’s funny what a pair of ratty old shoes can tell you.

As people, we tend to think that the only way to live is by plan. Maybe if we started to live by the shoes we wear, we’d realize how simple life could be.

I’ll be back soon!

Covid-19: A Message From A Front Line Health Care Worker

Hello friends, I hope this message finds you well. Through out the recent weeks, and the onslaught of the Covid-19 pandemic, I have been struggling on what to say. I have been trying to keep a positive outlook, telling myself that we'll be okay. That everything will go back to normal eventually, but as we've seen, so much changes from day to day that it's hard to know what the future holds right now. It's scary. It can be overwhelming. We've never seen anything like this. Some of us are in major hotspots and some, thankfully, are in more sheltered pockets. The reality of the situation is that we are all affected. I am writing this from my home office, a place that I have spent much much more time in recently, especially in the wake of the governor of Colorado, Jared Polis' stay-at-home orders. Being that I am a member of the media, I have been deemed "essential." Like many of us, I have special documentation from Washington, D.C. that...

4th of July: Celebrate Safely

Hey, all you Busy Women! Courtney and I want to wish you a very happy and safe 4th of July! However, I'd also like to remind you how quickly things can go awry when it comes to fireworks. This is my neighbor's shed. It stored a lot of important inventory for their small business, as well as family momentos and cherished items. The photo was taken by the local Fire Department. As you can see, it had a bad day. This was the cause of some others in our neighborhood shooting off illegal fireworks. I can't tell you how scary it was to look outside and see part of your neighborhood on fire. I'm sure some of you have witnessed or been through something like this. It made me realize how easily this could've been one of our homes...or my home. So last night, while our neighborhood rang out with the booms of mortars and ariel fireworks and my dog cowered under the couch because of it, the fiancé and I went around checking smoke detectors, shutting do...
