To enjoy life, the life coach said, one must overcome common obstacles, such as fear, unreasonable expectations, bum goals and those inner voices whispering that success is for others, not for people like you. I’m not on a quest for an exciting, wild life. At my age, all I want is a nap. ...

Holy cow — can you believe it? We made it to St. Patrick’s Day weekend. Or, if you’re someone around here who treats it like a full-on holiday season (and honestly, many do), St. Patrick’s Day week. And in my humble — very biased — opinion, this area has always done St. ...

In my earlier years of gardening, I was attracted to and purchased unusual plants. Many of those didn’t survive beyond their first year. As I have “matured,” I have redirected my purchases toward the easy-to-grow natives that feed our local pollinators. The hotter, drier summers have ...
