Remembering the Bunny
Here comes Peter Cottontail, hopping’ down the bunny trail… Hippity, hoppity, Easter’s on its way! Boy, does this song brings back memories (Don’t pretend you don’t know the lyrics)!

Darlings, as the buds are coming out on the trees it is time to step out of our winter nest and begin to bloom with a toned, slimmer body. Oh, I know how this winter has required lots of comfort food as we were snuggled in against the ice and snow. It’s time to replace […]

Easter is Confusing

The Time Is Now
We are starting one of my favorite weeks of the year. No, not the kick off of budget season, which happens this week. And not the regrouping of the the audit committee, which also happens this week. I am referring to Holy Week. It is a time when we can, and should, step away from […]
