A Billboard
If you had a freeway billboard, what would it say? Be kind. Respect others and yourself. Make peace a priority. Imagine what life would look like if we all did those 3 things without exception or conditions. Light & Love, Lori

Time
The greatest gift anyone has ever given me was their time. Time is priceless. There is never enough time in our day-to-day lives. It is gold when a person gives me even a moment to speak with me. Furthermore, if someone gives me hours of their life to read one of my stories, that is…

Get out of my Way
What are your biggest challenges? By far my biggest challenge to anything I do is me. My own impulsive thoughts or my inability to make a decision. Can I do this? Am I good enough? That’s so silly. Because all of that happens in my head. I got this. I can do hard things. Light…

Morning? Night? Neither.
Morning or night? It depends on what it is I have to do at the time. If it is to spend time with my husband, I am an anytime person. If I have to go to work and I really do like my job, I am a morning person. If it is a lunch date…

Lessons In Chemistry by Bonnie Garmus
I adore this story, but not for the reason most other reviewers are telling you. Yes it is a book about a woman who defies the patriarchal system in the field of science. I find the relationship between Elizabeth Zott and her dog amazing. The tenacious attitude of her daughter delightful. I’m afraid if I…

It’s a Fact
Do you see yourself as a leader? I am a leader. Not because of my career, though I have for years been in leadership positions. I’m a leader because a choose to mentor humans. Now just because someone thinks of themselves as a leader doesn’t mean they are a leader. You would have to ask…
