Before you kick the bucket, you should know…

Recently, my daughter and I were discussing bucket lists. She said she has a mental one, nothing written down. I do too, but feel the need to begin writing it down as I seem to forget more than I remember these days. If you are like me, and want to address some things before you kick the bucket, maybe this post will help. I feel like I have spent my life seeking reality. Real people, real values, real solidity in nature, just real “stuff”. I have learned now, I think, to not pay so much attention to other people and
I KNOW Business, it’s true.

This is a sort of did you know post. Did you know, I am the owner of a small business? I am, and it feels great. Well, most of the year anyway. It is sort of seasonal.

Review of Kim Smith, Author goals for 2015

It’s that time of year again when we need to go back over what we have accomplished and to begin planning our new year ahead. I had a lot of goals for 2015, realized and unrealized. Only because experts say you will be more successful if you put down goals in a concrete form. I didn’t do that, but this new year I will.
