Forget What Is and Ask Yourself What If?
Hi Everyone! As soon as you are able, please close your eyes and attempt to clear your mind for 30 seconds. Then, read the questions below and click play. 1) What is the "right" age for accomplishing my greatest dream? 2) Do I hear the laughter and believe the...
The Noticer Project
Dear Friends, The Noticer is rooted in the belief that our time on this earth is a gift to be used wisely and one of the best ways to use that gift is by noticing those who have made an impact on our lives. For that reason, I am excited to announce the start of The...
A New Dog!
It has been a quiet house for the past several months since our beloved Dalmatian, Lucy, passed away. Even with a six year old boy (Adam), a nine year old boy (Austin), and three cats (Figaro, Daniel, and Angel)—you just can’t raise the roof quite as high as you can...

Happy New … Legacy
Happy New Year everyone! I decided to delay this posting until a few days after the New Year actually started in order to give us all time to "settle in." Flush with the excitement of champagne corks popping and fireworks lighting the sky, it is a bit too easy to make...
Christmas Cards, Killer Whales, and Cows
Whew! This will be a mixed bag today. I have a lot to share and not much time in which to do it ... First of all, it looks like the Andrews family has missed every Christmas card deadline this year. Ugh. As much as we enjoy receiving them, it is aggravating that none...
