I Seriously Cannot WAIT To Get THERE
I suppose that I should make an introduction of you before simply sending you a blog post, but THAT’S HOW I ROLL. To cut through introductions, I’ll just link to your personal trainer website. And can I also totally recommend a makeover on that thing?

Goodbye, Grandma
We will miss Dorothy so much and it’s hard to believe she is gone. We will always cherish memories of her hand drawn Angels that were on every Christmas card, her extensive doll and art collections from around the world (each with its own story), and her famous potato salad and cranberry jello sauce at…

Big Breath In. Big Breath Out. Repeat.
TL;DR my mother’s mother is on home hospice. My daughter is named after her. So I’m grabbing girl twin and running to the States to introduce them and say goodbye. It’s intense.

It Really Is Everything
The beginning of this year was ROUGH. TL;DR POOP But it reminded me that I long ago figured out that the key to survive in this totally whack world is perception. Is the glass half empty or half full? One of the final speeches I will present to earn the Advanced Communicator Silver award is…

Why, Hello, 2019
I blinked awake at three this morning. After going to bed at ten ish. And let’s just say that the early morning of 2019 were not the most ideal way to start the new year. And also let’s just say that this post is about poop. You’ve been warned. As I said, I blinked awake…

What Was Your Biggest Lesson From 2018?
A fellow Toastmaster wrote a piece about her biggest lessons learned in 2018 which I promptly forwarded. #transformation #change But then she turned it around on me. “Thank you for sharing K Rain Leander! Love to know – what was your biggest lesson from 2018?” ~ Sangbreeta Moitra And, yup, I have been mulling over…
