Dear Reader, One of my daughters is an incredibly gifted sewist. Now, I'm old school. I would call her a seamstress. But she assures me that the new, hip Instagram word is "sewist." She makes the most adorable beach covers for her children. Sun covers, swimsuit cover-ups, whatever you want to call them - they are darling. And they get used. They live three miles from the beach, so around their house, a cover-up isn't a cute accessory. It's required equipment. Those little ones would be crispy by noon without them. Which got me thinking. A lot of us run our businesses day to day... completely uncovered. Not ready for the sun. Not ready for the surprise event that eventually shows up for every business owner: COVID. The landlord raising the rent. Losing your best employee. Losing your best client. We're just out there, exposed, soaking up UV rays without a plan. And for a while, nothing happens. The sun feels fine. Then one day - you're burned. Because without a cash flow plan, without a profit strategy, you end up running in circles. Reacting instead of preparing. And eventually you burn out and start to hate the business you once loved. My daughter doesn't wait until the kids are sunburned to make a cover-up. She makes it before they ever hit the sand. That's what a cash flow plan is. Protection you put on before you need it.

Dear Reader, Children know something we forget. They know how to feel — all of it. The joy, the excitement, the delight, the disappointment, the tears, the frustration. They do not usually stop and ask themselves, “Is this a convenient time to feel this?” They just feel it. They laugh with their whole body. They cry with their whole body. They get excited over tiny things — a snack, a puppy, a sticker, a silly song, a puddle, a rock, a new toy. And honestly, I think that is one of the most...
Dear Reader, The world is all about perspective. How do you see what is happening? How does your brain file it away? Good.Bad.Scary.Annoying.Manageable.Impossible. Those labels matter. Those of you who have been with me for a long time know I have three daughters. One of them, Penelope, is 6’1”. And she does not exactly try to hide it. She loves wearing these huge boots — I think they’re called Wraith boots — that add several more inches. So suddenly, she is standing there looking like she is...
Dear Reader, Sometimes love looks like someone washing your hair in a sink. Those of you who have been with me a long time know that in 2022, two years after my husband Brace was healed from terminal cancer, I was diagnosed with breast cancer. I had a full mastectomy. And after surgery, they put in tubes. It was not my favorite chapter. They would not let me shower.They would not let me exercise. And honestly, not showering may have been one of the hardest parts. 😄 So I went to Chuck. Chuck...
