Today marks 14-years of marriage. I cannot help but replay that day over in my head and ask, if I could do it all over again, would I? The answer, even after all of these years, is still a solid yes. My dad, who was often times a man of few words, said something to…… Continue reading Fourteen Years and Counting
Stop the Madness!
Inside retail stores, you would think Christmas was just around the corner… I thought I’d post about my fall trip to the UP of Michigan. Absolutely spectacular. But instead, I have an ax to grind with retail. STOP SEASON JUMPING. I kicked off my vacation by spending the day with Steve. We planned a leisurely…… Continue reading Stop the Madness!
World Record Juggler Spends Summer Teaching Kids Circus Tricks
This summer I had the chance to interview a nearby neighbor that my kid absolutely loves. Bob and his wife Trish are yet another example of why I love living in Iron River. While Jake hasn’t decided to take up circus tricks, it was really cool to do this story. You can also see it…… Continue reading World Record Juggler Spends Summer Teaching Kids Circus Tricks
Finitude
Finitude: The state of having a limit or end. That word has been weighing heavily on me the past few weeks. The Universe not so kindly reminded me that our time here on Earth is finite when she took a coworker much too young from my world. Today we said goodbye to her with a…… Continue reading Finitude
Moonrise on Moon Lake
This post will be brief. Last week, the Universe reminded me yet again that our time here is not guaranteed — that in fact sometimes life is not fair. Sometimes things don’t happen for a reason. Instead, horribly sad things happen to beautiful people. I watched from afar as the universe claimed a beautiful soul…… Continue reading Moonrise on Moon Lake
Everyday Empathy
Lost Creek Falls Summer is coming to a close. Not sure how I feel about that. I decided to take the morning off to hit Lost Creek Falls (a must-see waterfall in Bayfield County) and do some book editing at one of my favorite coffee shops in the planet – Cornucopia Coffee and Sweet Shoppe.…… Continue reading Everyday Empathy
Rejection
A few months back I called my shot. I shared my dream of submitting a book proposal to Hay House publishing company in hopes I’d be selected for a book deal. This past week I learned I didn’t get it. I’m not going to sugar coat this. I’m bummed. I believe my stories about loss…… Continue reading Rejection
Today I’m Nine
Jake from Moon Lake hijacking mom’s blog once again. I’ve successfully navigated another trip around the sun. This past year was packed with a lot of adventures, but what else would you expect? My third grade teacher Miss Janigo rocked the house. She kept me in-line and will always be known as the teacher who…… Continue reading Today I’m Nine
Fat Minutes
I recently listened to an interview with Mel Robbins and Jenna Kutcher. Decent interview, in-part because Jenna Kutcher is someone who took a leap of faith and monetized that. As someone trying to continuously align my passion and how I spend my time (and make money), that’s pretty cool. Anyways, towards the end of the…… Continue reading Fat Minutes
Bayfield County Welcomes Three New Coffee Roasters to the County
Anyone who knows me, knows I love a good cup of coffee. Sometimes, that’s hard to find in rural areas. Once again, the place I’m lucky enough to call home, is the exception to the rule. I’ve always been amazed by the bold lifestyle choices people make living here. It is definitely a work to…… Continue reading Bayfield County Welcomes Three New Coffee Roasters to the County
