In our day many of us live with calendars full to the brim and our lives have very little time for anything outside our regularly scheduled daily or weekly activities (which are often very fine activities).

My Goals for 2016
After being moderately successful in keeping up with my priorities and goals for 2015 I realize that I bit off more than I could chew.

Reminiscing on 8 Years with Betsy
I stood there looking back with great anticipation. Butterflies in my stomach not from nerves but due to excitement anticipating the moment. Then the music changed and doors swung open.
