We’ve got enough to feed the entire neighborhood - several times!
By 5:30 PM, we finally had the Halloween costume debate settled with Raindrop. She wore a Halloween bandana - and James, well, he dressed to impress.
As the sun started to set, James brought out the candy - Kit Kats and Reese’s Cups - by [...]

I just got at least two hours/week back in my life.
If I do the math that equals:
104 hours/year
2.5 work weeks (if you work 40 hours/week)
4 full days of my life!
And I don’t have to change a thing.
Wait. What’s the problem you ask?
I could have had this time back over a year ago.
Instead, due to [...]

Sounded like a great time to go for an ice cream break!
Okay, we don’t usually take off in the middle of the day to go to the Washtenaw Dairy - the best ice cream in Ann Arbor.
But we needed to feel alive and celebrate living.

As long-time Mac lovers, James and I decided to join the party.
By the time we arrived at the mall, we were numbers 106 and 107 in the line!
The Apple store was closed.
A guard stood at the door as the crowds [...]

But the good news is I was standing!
Last night I attended a local chapter event honoring local women leaders.
I didn’t really know a lot of people there, but decided to attend since I belonged to the organization and the event sounded interesting.
When I finally arrived at my assigned table, I met my tablemate Elizabeth Valenti [...]

Makes Cynthia a boring person!
The last few weeks I’ve been consumed with work getting the Chapter Leaders Playground up. If not on the road speaking somewhere, I often start at 5 AM - and am still on my computer at 10 PM.
Talk about a sure way to become dull!
With the weather so pretty, we [...]

Beautiful sunset or houses destroyed?
Tonight was a spectacular sunset with a blaze of reds. I couldn’t help but think about the wildfires in California - and all the people losing their homes.
And the night eight years ago when James and I lost almost everything we owned to a fire we didn’t cause.
Unexpected acts of [...]
