I heard the words so clearly in my mind on that sunny day a couple of years ago. “Why do you worry, Sue? I’ve already taken care of it.” It caught me so off guard that I stopped right there in the middle of my lunchtime run to catch my breath. With all the noise and traffic around me, I wondered, Who called me by my name? I had been worrying though. My company was about to go through more layoffs and change, and even though I would probably be compensated for my many years with the company, I began to worry about the uncertainty. What […]

I need to do some cleaning and catch up on emails, I thought. Sounds silly now. Life can pass us by while we’re busy doing stuff, and not just in a big way but in the small simple ways.
