What scares you in your life? Do you ever feel like fear is holding you hostage in a place where you don’t want to be? I think most people are afraid of something…even if it’s something small, like tiny spider small. And even though it will be something different for all of us, that fear…


Vegan Cookie Dough Protein Bars

Vegan Cookie Dough Protein Bars…Yum! So I whipped these bad boys up a couple of days ago and they turned out pretty darn delish!

Our Experience With Beekeeping & Honey Bees

Amazing Honeycomb & Raw Honey Over the last few years my husband and I have become rather fascinated with the amazing, tiny, yet highly important member of our ecosystem, know as the honey bee.

The Simple Gifts In Life- Gratitude, Mindfulness, & Positive Energy

In mid-March here in Michigan, when the Covid-19 Quarantine began, I, along with everyone else of course, found myself with an abundance of time on my hands.

Quitting My Job After 20 Years

Mid January this year marked a milestone for me. It was around that time 20 years ago, in 2000, that I had started my job as a barber. If you would have told me back then that I would go on to stay 20 years, I would have laughed. I had no intention of staying…
