Meeting Margaret- My New Motivation
I met the woman I want to emulate in about 40 years. She was absolutely wonderfully perfect.

The younger twin read this book last year and hasn’t stopped pestering everyone he knows to read it – including me and his brother. We didn’t read it yet (oops) but couldn’t resist going to see it anyway, breaking my “Read the book before seeing the movie” personal rule.

Define Your Life’s Meaning by Being Yourself
Call it a midlife crisis or finding myself or just a turning point. But at 40 I’m starting to finally figure out I’m okay to just be me. And I kinda like who I am.
My Night at Treads & Threads
Here in Kansas City there is a large gala fundraiser for The University of Kansas Hospital Cancer Center every year called “Treads & Threads”. Through my company and specifically my own job, I’m able to work with this group for their digital needs – and I love it!
