As we’re exploring travel for the month of July, let’s dive into one of my favorite vacation spots, Mackinaw Island. A small island between the Lower and Upper Peninsula of Michigan. On this trip, you need to abandon all contemporary comforts and brace whatever chair or wall you’re next to. We’re about to go back in time. To the Victorian …
Last week on our travel tour, we visited Rome, Italy. Today, we’re going farther south along the Mediterranean Sea to Sorrento, located in the Bay of Naples amongst the backdrop of Mount Vesuvius. What an ideal setting for a food tour. Incredible cuisine from the sea and rich volcanic soil along with Italy’s culinary excellence, you’ve got the best ingredients …
For the month of July, we’re launching into traveling. Who doesn’t want to escape into a romantic getaway as we have spent months sheltered in place? While travel had been fairly restricted during the heyday of March through May, did you daydream of an exotic island, sipping on a cold beverage of choice, and listening to the ocean waves crashing …

I thought I was open especially to …

On today’s blog, Dee Selby, my Virtual Marketing Assistant, shares the importance of re-thinking these roles and the obligations attached to them based on …
My husband enjoys fly fishing along the Colorado river. For fly fishing, the hook is the bait. During different times of the year, in different part of the stream, you want to use different flies to attract the fish. Ultimately, you want to use exactly what the fish wants at the time of the year. Same for a book. A …
If you’re considering writing a family legacy book, interviewing family members is one of the most important steps. And hopefully one of the most fun and inspiring. While you might think you can go “off the cuff” because you’re interviewing family members, I highly recommend preparing; otherwise, the interview might go off the rails and you leave without any helpful …
Hopefully, Donna Branch’s guest post last week inspired you to consider writing a legacy book. Pursuing a legacy project is as much about the journey as the product. I experienced this firsthand when I helped my parents write their memoir. I discovered more about my family’s story through the process, especially as we interviewed the older relatives from my great-uncle …
Note: Today’s guest post comes from my friend Donna Branch. I met her at our church’s woman’s social event and felt a connection. Eventually, I reached out to her, and we became friends.
