Scandalous Sharing Solace

This picture, and the story surrounding it, is possibly the most scandalous image I’ve ever taken. Can’t you tell?For those new here, you might need a bit of backstory: Even though my daughter died just after she was born, in my mind, she is always an infant – and – whatever her ‘would be’ age […]

Accepting Acceptance

I think we’ve all heard of the “stages” of grief: shock, denial, anger, bargaining, depression, testing, and acceptance. {If you want my real take on the stages, and the history behind those stages there’s a book you can read on the topic.} Reader’s Digest version: they’re taken out of context and they’re cr@p.

Pennies, and Nickels, and Dimes…Oh My!

I attended a networking event earlier this week – OK, it was an award recognition event for being a ‘Small Business Superstar’ in Kansas City {I know, low-key flex. Thanks Kansas City Chamber of Commerce}.If we’ve ever met, you know once I get warmed up I can even get a brick wall to talk to […]

Stutz: A Reflection

“Hey Crystal! What do you think about the new Jonah Hill documentary Stutz?”Well, I’m glad you asked! I’ve already watched it about 3 times.**Side note: in case you didn’t know, you can watch Netflix at 1.25 and even 1.5 times speed…perfect for documentaries where it’s mostly just dialogue. 😉 **Dr. Phil Stutz talks about several of his […]
