Hi.  I'm a wife, mom and entrepreneur.  And sometimes I feel like I'm gonna lose my dang mind.  I've always enjoyed writing and yet I never make time to do this.  So I've decided I'm going to give writing a whirl again and bare my soul online...because therapy.  I blame this on my little brother - he has inspired me.  We are celebrating his 32nd birthday today, but he isn't here.  He died 10 years ago.  And I've been doing a lot of thinking about the experience of grieving, how life has changed in 10 years and what I can do to honor his memory.  I've come to the conclusion that the best way to honor him is to laugh and focus on joy.  Anyone who knew him would agree that this is a pretty solid strategy. Sometimes that is tough with the busy life we lead. How often I wish I could add a few extra hours on to every day.

So this blog is really about exploring and highlighting the joy in life. It's my way of being more conscious of it. I hope it brings you joy too.
