Regardless of your political affiliation, recent months have been filled with crucial conversations where opinions vary, stakes are high, and emotions run strong.

Dog-friendly Crossover Vehicles
When my folks came to take me home that first day, we became a family, I was placed in a house on wheels. I had never been in such a thing that moved and turned this way and that way. Oh boy did I howl and cry until mom assured me it was okay. My […]
November 2019
YOUR HEALTH I always encourage my clients to forgo their weight-loss goals from now to New Year’s. Putting that expectation upon ourselves when the next two months center around food is a recipe for disappointment. This doesn’t mean, however, that we gorge ourselves and go hog-wild. Our focus should be maintaining not only our weight […]
Retain Top Talent with Proper Motivation
Spend any length of time in a leadership or supervisory role, and you quickly realize that the most challenging aspect of your job is people. People are complicated and messy. People come in all shapes, sizes, experience level, educational backgrounds, and they bring with them their own baggage. Yet, you are tasked to develop, nurture, […]
The Snowy Range Mountain Scenic Byway
Our cooler weather with windy conditions makes me think back to a trip we made to Wyoming when we lived in Northern Colorado. Have you ever been to Wyoming…the land of wide-open spaces? The entire state has less people than Phoenix, Arizona (579,315 as of 2017) and is known for its expansive blue skies. We […]
Recruiting the Right Way

After watching the story of her and Loretta Lynn, I just […]

Kuma hikes at Dreamy Draw Park for the first time
Ah. Fall temps are here! I love the crisp mornings and cool evenings. Milder temperatures mean we can explore more local hiking options rather than heading to higher ground to avoid the heat. This past weekend, we drove down to Dreamy Draw Park located at 2421 E Northern Ave, Phoenix, AZ 85020 (off the 51 […]
