On the 1st day of Childlessness, my inner voice said to me “This bites, you’ll have no legacy”. On the 2nd day of Childlessness, my inner voice said to me “What did I do wrong” On the 3rd day of Childlessness, my inner voice said to me “I have empty arms” On the 4th day of…
If by some miracle, “a chance of snow” shows up on the local weather report, the city goes into crisis mode because of the impending snowflake. Schools shut down, businesses close and everyone runs to the stores to grocery shop for a hurricane. (That is the only weather related prep we know). It snowed here…
Pilgrims. Pumpkins. Pies. Pturkey. (It’s an alliteration thing…) Yes. There is more to Thanksgiving than the 4 P’s. But since 1621, it has gone from sharing a bountiful harvest to a bastardized holiday that means a.) a day off from work b.) over eating and c.) arguing with some crazy person at midnight in Wal-mart…
When I was a kid I dreamed that I would do something to change the world. I wanted to be one of the first female astronauts or I wanted to create a new type of math (I knew it would be called “subvision’ but didn’t get a lot further than that). Somewhere along the way…

Below is our first guest post written by an incredible author….. Grab a glass of wine, sit back…and read a different perspective. In her own words: I have worked with Sandy for several years, and anyone who knows anything about her will know she is one kick-ass party planner. I’m sure she has planned her…
