Well, here we are, at the end of 2022. Is it just me or do the years seem to go by faster every year? Anyone looking forward to 2023? I have been for awhile. As you read this, I'll be driving my way down to The Villages for four months of sunshine, pickleball, and travel around the state. I want to start today's post by wishing you the happiest of New Years! I hope 2023 … [Read more...]

So I once again went into my Amazon order history and picked out some ideas based on what I liked (from my orders the past year). The list to choose from is bigger each year as … [Read more...]

Answering Crazy Questions and Comments
When I announced that I was getting rid of Saturday posts, one reader commented as follows: Awesome! Although I kinda miss your ‘rant Saturdays’, it is great to hear how happy you are and how removed you are from that work life. Hahahaha! Never fear!

The Gift of the Struggle
I was surprised at the small but vocal minority who felt my kids should get more from our estate plan. I'm not going to feed the trolls by responding to their comments, but today I do want to discuss a related topic. I'm calling it "the gift of the struggle." Before we get in too deep, let's begin by defining the phrase. What is the Gift of the Struggle? When I say … [Read more...]
