Sometimes the Win Is Noticing What Moved Forward
I had plans for Friday. Now, if you’ve been around my kitchen table very long, you probably already know that’s usually the beginning of a story. 😂 Friday was supposed to include getting my Scout Stash email out.

Some weeks feel like life hands you a list so long you don’t even know which corner to start with. This was one of those weeks. It started with an unexpected trip to urgent care after waking up looking like I’d gone a few rounds with Rocky Balboa. My eyelid had swollen so much I…

One More Chair at the Table
There are weeks that feel like one long story. And then there are weeks like this one. The kind where nothing seems connected until you sit down long enough to look back. This week had a little bit of everything. One morning, I was laughing because somebody on Facebook thought I’d skipped work. The funny…
