Organizing, cider doughnuts, and Pumpkin Pie candles for fall

The last couple of days, I’ve been doing chores, cleaning out my closet, and taking clothes to GoodWill. Fall and spring are a great time of year to clean, organize, and declutter. “Life starts all over again when it gets crisp in the fall.”- F.

My new book addresses the topic of terrorism

With the news this week of the Istanbul airport attack in Turkey, terrorism continues to be a big concern around the globe. I’ve been to that airport before, going to it before arriving in Nairobiwhen I spoke at the women’s conference in Africa, so that’s scary! A little too close for comfort. We’re seeing more […]
