Lighten your load!
Reportedly, overpacking is the biggest travel mistake as well as the biggest life mistake we all make at times. But our life need not be backbreaking!!
Ciao Bella!

Throw away your to-go cup!
Dear friends and family,
I’m back in Texas! Italy and cappuccino have taught me what it means to “live in the moment.” No longer are these just words that sound like a good idea.
I’ve posted the photos I took during my trip on Facebook. They will soon be posted on my website, too. Italy is soooooo beautiful!!! I’m in love!!!!! 
Have a lovely spring week!!! And I suspect I’ll be writing more about Italy next week.
Ciao Bella!

We’re making history
It’s hard to believe that I had almost forgotten that March was National Women’s History Month. I think the women (and men, too, for that matter) who capture my greatest respect are those who do whatever it takes to overcome some impossible obstacle.

A story waiting to be heard
I’ve always been told that good communication begins with good listening. And I’ve often wondered how many misunderstandings and conflicts could have been avoided by better listening.

Get off your high horse!
Hey friends and family,
Arrogance will poison any relationship — whether the relationship is between husbands and wives, parents and children, bosses and their employees, or leaders and their constituents.
Surely all relationships benefit when we get off our high horse and are not so certain we are right. After all, we might not be!
What can I say? Watching our government in action lately inspired this column.
Have a great week! The sun has returned to Texas! Yeah!!!
