Getting to this very moment has been an incredibly interesting journey and I can’t even express how ecstatic I am to be writing my very first WIRL! Seeing my vision and dream become an actual “thing” is more motivating and surreal than I ever thought it would be. I can’t wait to share what it was really like to create and build a business and website; I learned so much and ... Read More »
So, I have a confession to make, and it’s kind of a silly/nerdy confession. For anyone who read my first post, knows that I am an animal lover and I’m also a vet tech, so this is where my confession stems from. (And I just came from work so it’s weighing on my mind). Probably my biggest pet peeve is when people buy a dog, and then decide a few months later that they don’t ... Read More »
I’m feeling a sense of sadness when I look around to watch some of my friends caring for their ageing parents. We all say, at one time or another, that we hope to live to be 100, but do we really mean that and do we really know what it might entail??

I was about to step out as a Blogger... Read More »

Your Critics Do Not Count, Their Words Will Fade…You Won’t These words came from the ever-so-talented, Justin Timberlake, last night as he accepted the “Innovator” Award at the I Heart Radio Music Awards. He has received multiple awards and nominations throughout his career, but it’s his good heart and personality that everyone really loves. In his acceptance s... Read More »
Growing up an only child in the 70’s was not very common. I was always accused of being spoiled and self centered. I spent a lot of time defending myself, explaining I did not get everything I wanted handed to me on a silver platter, and this was not my choice that I was an only child. Life was good for most part in our family, until the day my parents decided they no longer wanted to... Read More »
