I am with you 100% with the food thing!

I have been to the Greek Islands, and while Santorini is beautiful, I would reccomend Naxos instead. Both islands are part of the Greek chain, and have the beautiful beaches and culture, but Naxos is closer to […]

I think the food looks too cute to eat!

I learned something new- I did not know how people went about getting tickets for the Olympics. I hope you get the ticket!

We seem to have similar interests and struggles. My suggestion for balance is to create a 48 hour day, as I am not able to accomplish enough in 24 hours it seems. As for advice, what I really do is I try to work […]

I can really relate to the part you wrote about traveling. I am very interested in traveling as well, and I also think it is important to give back. I would also know exactly what I would do~ lol.

What a sweet story. Have you ever investigated if the school still exists and if she is still there?

Diane,

What great goals! There is no reason for them to be elusive. You strike me as the type that, if you want it enough, will achieve these goals. Maybe not by next year, but eventually~

Build a school system… interesting… what would it look like I wonder?

You need to go! Life is happening now!

Wow~ have you ever been formally diagnosed? I have not heard of dyscalculia before, how interesting! What is the intervention for that I wonder?

Is it all about money? I think that hitting the jackpot can mean so many things~ including loving your work~ I agree with you 100%!

What a great attitude! It sounds like you have hit the jackpot already!

What a luxury to be able to move your business! My dad commuted to the city for most of my life, and I know how lucky your daughters are!

Maybe one day the market will come back and you can try another hand at it~

Your rendition of Monica and the “Monica’s” of the world made for an entertaining read. I agree with Diane that Monica glues the group together and that is a great role to have for the people in your life!
