I Hear the Birds Sing Again!

  • On June 6, 2019
Last week I moved to a new home, a new state, a new part of the country. My husband is working in a different capacity and from home. It’s a BIG change in my, and our, lives. My coaching and consulting work is the only consistency. Over the course of my 27-year military career I

  • On December 20, 2018
Have you ever heard the story about the little boy and the starfish? It’s from a book called The Star Thrower by Loren Eiseley. Here’s the gist of the story as I remember it: There’s an old man walking along the beach after a big storm. Far away he sees a young boy moving towards him,
