If you haven’t checked your credit history in the past few months, it’s time to do it. With all of the data breaches, many of us have had our Social Security Numbers and birthdates released on the web. If you haven’t frozen your credit, it might be a good idea to do so. If you have questions about what any of this means, let me know. I’m happy to help!

It’s free and easy to search with this website and shouldn’t cost you anything but a few minutes of your time…

Sarah is a great therapist and coach. Check out this wonderful training she has starting soon!

✨ What if the very things you’ve been told to “toughen up” about are actually your greatest strengths?

What would your life be like if you felt so confident that you stopped performing, ditched perfectionism, and no more rescusing others and overfunctioning?

💡 Communicating with clarity and confidence
💡 Understanding yourself (Enneagram) so you can truly understand others
💡 Discovering your core values—the compass for every choice you make
💡 Boundaries that protect your energy and expand your freedom

This is where real growth happens. Where you stop performing the version of yourself the world expects.

Whre you start leading, loving, and living from who you really are.

🔥 If you’re ready to do the inner work that changes everything on the outside—this training is for you.

This is an intimate group with personalized attention.

I just discovered a feature in the Walmart app that can make your life easier! The Scanner function lets you scan bar codes of products in your home or in other stores to check the price at Walmart AND add the item to your cart for pickup and delivery. So if you are running out of something, you can scan the bar code and it pops right up! Though I don’t love Walmart, I hate grocery shopping so I’ve been using their pickup service since before the pandemic. It saves me time and money. It can be found in the app under Services > Store Tools > Check a price.

Wishing a Happy Father's Day to all the dads! As I remember my own father, who is no longer with us, I’m sharing a blog post reflecting on the valuable lessons he taught me.

Lessons my dad taught me about travel and finances that go hand in hand.
