Where’s Catherine?   On this episode of Where’s Waldo, we’re searching for Catherine. After all, she has been eerily absent from inboxes this month. That’s partly by design and partly because our life got very lifey - family and illness and caregiving oh my. But that’s a story for another da...

Did you set your clocks back? Today in the US (except super smart Arizona), we do the godforsaken time change. This change messes me up for a week. No idea why. I guess I’m just crazy time sensitive.   Bob re-set most of the clocks last night. Yes, he rocks. And when I woke up in the dark...

Play after agonizing play. Ohio State just kept plowing down the field wearing out our defense. And leaving us wondering when our offense will finally show up to make the big play. Any play really. Penn State football is not for the faint of heart. Some days feel like this. You put your hea...

I held the carved statue in my hand and wondered. It just didn’t seem to be the exact momento to remember Sandra Grace by. It was pretty but I wasn’t drawn to it. It didn't speak to me. I circled the room again and saw a small photo of a bell. Hmmmm…now that’s interesting. But what was behin...

Theresa was constantly putting off organizing her desk. She had so much work to do. She didn’t want to take the time to declutter. And yet each day she was wasting a ton of time shuffling through piles to find that client file. It’s hard to see how being organized can help you save time when ...
