I loved walking the beach where the waves and the shore meet in Sanibel Island Florida. At one time, not sure if it still is, Sanibel beaches were in the top 5 in the world for shells! We have bags of amazing shells of all kinds, shapes, and sizes. Looking for the perfect shell was therapy for me. I know I must be a pretty boring person if I find great enjoyment in digging in the sand for shells. But, there is nothing better than pulling up a hand full of sand and shells and discovering somethin...

In today's episode we talk about timeouts, and how they are important to our health and sanity and that they don't always have to be a long vacation...

When I was a child, my mom and uncle would take me to the fair. They had this carnival game on the board walk called Whack-A-Mole. I think you can find them at Chucky Cheese as well. The object was to take the mallet and beat the mole on the head every time it popped up. The challenge was that as you popped one mole down, another would pop up. It was an endless cycle that you could never win. Sometimes life can feel a little like that Whack-A-Mole game. The challenges of life seem to come from a...
