Quitters WIN!
Are you a quitter? 2 weeks ago one of my favorite Perfect Day devotees quit. “I’m not retiring. I’m quitting,” she said boldly with a smirk and some fervor. And it struck me how often it is with entrepreneurs that they won’t quit; they ride the biz curve up, up, up and then down, down, […]

Birthdays and Football
First, I’m grateful to be in your “inbox.” Thank you! Second, I encourage you to find real ways each day to show more gratitude to others! So far, this year has been huge on all fronts. There’s lots to be concerned about, but don’t let your eye get off the ball. Don’t allow hesitation or […]
From Bonjour! to Goat Cheese…to WHY Women!
It was 2014- my girls, ages 9 and 10 at the time, and I decided we wanted to learn to speak French, and what better way than in France. I found a magnificent home to let in the French countryside– ahem, a 16th century home in Sancerre, France–AND, it was dirt cheap. I was anxiously […]
Unintended Consequences: Very Good Things!
As I thought about what Perfect Day message others needed from me today, I was driving to work in my 1984 Jeep Wagoneer. I have been restoring “her” for two years.

Straight-line Depreciation or are you Appreciating?
Are you Appreciating or Depreciating? Not all wines get better with age! If we are honest, our bodies don’t either. So, what will time do for you? What will it be? Tax return-esque straight line depreciation of your rental duplex or are you ready to be uncorked like a 2000 Mouton Rothschild Bordeaux that has […]
My Only Resolution!
Now that we are well into our way in January 2023, I want to ask: How are your New Year’s Resolutions going? Did you make any? Are you keeping them? I’m not a fan of resolutions for several reasons but one of the main ones is that resolutions can be short sighted. We are built […]
The Night before Christmas
I will honor Christmas in my heart and try to keep it all the year. — Charles Dickens Are you exhausted yet! Christmas is here(!) and it has a way of draining us—many times in good ways—but more times in bad ways! As we wake up on Christmas morning, I wonder what it took all […]
