“A good life is when you assume nothing, do more, need less, smile often, dream big, laugh a lot, and realize how blessed you are.” – Anonymous Is it really that simple to have a good life? In many ways I actually believe it is. I really think that so much of our level of […]
When my son Dalton was a little boy, for some reason he could not grow bangs. His hair would grow on top and on the sides and in the back, but not in the front. For the first few years of his life I kept him in little baseball caps to disguise the fact that […]
“People are often unreasonable and self-centered. Forgive them anyway. If you are kind, people may accuse you of ulterior motives. Be kind anyway. If you are honest, people may cheat you. Be honest anyway. If you find happiness, people may be jealous. Be happy anyway. The good you do today may be forgotten tomorrow. Do […]
Several years ago when I was posting my daily blog for my employees of my company I invited them to give me subjects they wanted me to blog about. Several of them asked me to post about what I think has helped me in my life to be a more successful person and mother, aside […]
