Last night on my Leadership Wyoming call, one of my classmates was explaining astrology. I am a Pisces which I always thought was a terrible misunderstanding since I identified more with Aquarius. Pisces was described to me as dreamy and artistic, while Aquarians were smart and independent. Which would you choose? However, upon further research, [...]
I have a bold statement to make right here, right now. This column is not about COVID or anything related to it. It’s not about the election results. It’s not about Christmas. It’s not about 2020 as a year that needs to move along. No, I think we’re all exhausted by these subjects. Instead, I’m [...]
(Author's note: The CVC website has been down for awhile so the blog posts have been piling up. This was originally published on September 23, 2020.) Remember the good old days when you could have knock-down political fights at the Thanksgiving table and then when the football game started, all was forgotten? What happened? Why [...]
(Author's note: The CVC website has been down for awhile so the blog posts have been delayed. This was originally published August 13, 2020.) Postpone. This is a word I have heard almost more in the last five months than I’ve heard the word ‘uncertainty.’ That’s saying something given our current times. The good news [...]
(Author's Note: The CVC website has been down for awhile so the blog posts have been delayed. This was written July 2, 2020.) The Governor’s office has released a new logo promoting Wyomingites wearing masks. While it’s a man (typical) and he looks like a bandit, I still find it eye-catching. And since I’m easily [...]
(Author's Note: The CVC website has been down for awhile so the blog posts have been delayed. This was written May 15 2020.) Hello from Week Nine of (Productive?) Work from the Dining Room Table! Let’s look at the positives during this time. I am happily watching spring bloom in front of my eyes. This [...]
A song I have on continuous loop in my head these last few weeks has been “Strange Days Indeed,” by John Lennon. Strange doesn’t begin to cover this though. My friend refers to the time before March 13 as BC(19). I call the time we are living in now as the Twilight Zone Time Lapse. [...]
Wow. I am nearly speechless, which you know is a rare occurrence for me. When I wrote the post last week about what I thought was my love for home renovation shows - especially one based in Laurel, Mississippi - I had no idea what havoc it would wreak. Let me be crystal clear up front: [...]
I’ve written past columns about civility, divisiveness, throwing babies out with bathwater, and the pure vitriol being spewed about all things political. On this weekend before Thanksgiving, I decided the time was right to offer some strategies to possibly save family unity, preserve everyone’s sanity, keep the gravy from curdling, and the food from flying.

Dear Readers, today’s Word of the Day is unique. Or as my mom would pronounce it, you-nih-kew. Unique, no matter how you choose to pronounce it, is defined as being the only one of its kind, not like anything else. We all have that relative who can only be described as unique (looking at you, [...]
