Readjusting Your Normal

I’m just readjusting my normal. Life happens. Unexpected things occur, circumstances continuously change. Our children grow, we age, we lose people we love, we leave places where we had laid down roots. The list of how life happens and seemingly at breakneck speed,...

A funny thing happened when I turned 41. It’s probably not what you think…. I started to take naps when I’m on the road (or skies). Sometimes, I even take one every once in awhile at home. Eeeekkkk. Anyone who knows me well knows that’s something I NEVER used to do....
