She asked me about my glasses. They're heavily tinted reading glasses that block out blue light. They're not cheapy throw-aways, but they're not expensive either. It sparked a conversation about the everyday things we enjoy - things that make a positive difference in our lives. I started rattling off a few things - mostly things I saw within a 6-foot circumference of my studio space. By the time I got to number 22, I stopped and...

In the summer of 2018, I began to plan our annual "getaway" trip for September. From my teen years through my mid-50s, I was a retail animal. When you're leading a retail company, you don't think about taking time off between October and January. September always was the most convenient time to step away. So here I am, mid-summer, planning for September.
Big Cedar Lodge, up near Branson, Missouri, had become a bit of a favored ...

There are a few things I dislike. Some of them very much.
