Did you make any New Year resolutions this year? I really never do, although, I guess I just have the same ones every year. Ha! At the top of my list every year it to declutter. I like a pretty minimalistic look – in both my work and my home, but sometimes achieving that can […]

We knew it would happen. It does every year. Sometimes years earlier than others. That is, when the temperatures finally drop to freezing and below. When your kids don’t want to go to the park any more (and quite frankly, neither do you!) But what are you going to do with them? How can you […]

We are all experiencing change in the key areas of life such as nutrition, relationships, money and career. Sheila empowers you to embrace […]
