2022 Spring Newsletter: Salt Lake City
Spring is here – the trees are blossoming, the birds are chirping and the bats are swinging. It’s the most wonderful time of the year: baseball season! Not only have the pros started playing (which almost didn’t happen!), my nine-year-old son, Michael, and his team began their season as well. His games started in March with a couple of out-of-state …
2022 Winter Newsletter: Kansas City
I think we don’t spend enough time and energy discussing compounding. Sure, we feel its effects when we look at our account statements from the last couple of years (especially when compared to statements from a decade ago!), but what about other areas of our lives? Is there a compounding effect that’s possible in our careers, relationships, and families that …
2022 Winter Newsletter: Salt Lake City
We made it through the holidays and into another year. Welcome 2022! Here’s to hoping for brighter, healthier days ahead for all. The holidays at our home are often busy. Our children, Coraline and Michael, are still young, so the holidays include little parties, school programs and many traditions that remain magical. My in-laws live nearby, so our home …
2022 Winter Newsletter: Kansas City
If there’s one thing that we can all agree upon, it’s the uncertainly of the future. As we near the end of 2021 and look ahead to a new year, we have to shake our heads at the mystery of it all. Who would have predicted the events of this past year, from politics to pandemic to prosperity in the …
2021 Fall Newsletter: Salt Lake City
Pops of color on the mountains, cooler temperatures, and shorter days. Fall is here and settling in nicely after a very hot summer. My kids are almost finished with the first quarter of the school year. My daughter, Coraline, is in seventh grade this year. She stays busy with schoolwork and the middle school cheer team but has found time …
2021 Fall Newsletter: Kansas City
Have you ever wondered how the world would be different if there were no mirrors? If we couldn’t see ourselves, how would our self-esteem and interactions with others change? Taken even further, it seems that we view the larger world through a reflective lens too. “I see what’s happening out there but how does that make me look or make …
2021 Summer Newsletter: Kansas City
We did it. With the mask mandates being lifted, and vaccinations on the rise, we’re headed into summer of 2021 with full faces and full hearts. The last year-and-a-half has tested us on so many levels. Fortunately, we can begin to discuss this in past tense, and I couldn’t be happier. I only hope that the perspectives that we gained …
2021 Summer Newsletter: Salt Lake City
The dog days of summer are here. We just wrapped up the baseball season for my son, Michael, and his nine-year-old team of little leaguers. As you do in Utah, we started the season battling snow, rain and cold temps only to end the season scrambling for shade, dousing each other in sunscreen and praying a cloud would hover above …
2021 Spring Newsletter: Kansas City
The word, ‘spring’ is such an active word. It’s an object that keeps your car riding comfortably by smoothing out the bumps, it’s an act of movement – to spring – and it’s also a season that offers so much promise. Spring and ‘to spring’ feel like exactly what we all need right now. We’re transitioning from a LONG season …
2021 Spring Newsletter: Salt Lake City
Walk outside. Do you smell that? Fresh-cut grass, turned-over dirt, worn leather, peanuts… It’s baseball season! The most wonderful time of the year! As you all know, sports looked quite different in 2020. The Major League Baseball season was shorter than usual and didn’t start on time. The same thing happened with my son’s baseball season, but we were happy …
