I have been blown away this week. Actually stopped work twice yesterday to have a conversation about how social media, Twitter & Facebook, to be exact have changed the big hearted city of Hartsville that I live in. I’d like to think, as a community, we are there for each other with or without Twitter, [...]

I work with a great team of people here at ACS Technologies. It’s always nice to work with people you not only get along with, but truly like. One of topics we discuss (more than needed) is bathrooms. Girls vs. Boys. Most nice ladies rooms have a little more to them than just the basics. Here at work [...]

I am proud to announce that I’ll become an aunt twice over in April. My sister and sister-in-love (not just law) are both expecting.  I’m not new to the Aunt game. I have two beautiful, smart, funny, almost perfect nephews now. Being an aunt is a lot of fun! I get to say YES to all kinds [...]

I love the way children’s minds work.  They are open to any and all possibilities.  Anything they can imagine is within the realm of possibility.    I was reminded of this two Sunday’s ago.  My family gets together for Sunday Dinner and this particular Sunday the kids were outside playing.  My sister overheard a VERY serious [...]

I stumbled onto this quote today.    HMMM,  it’s  really true.   We are such social beings.   I think this quote could be used for all kinds of words in the English language.   Love, Hate, Frustration, Satisfaction, Kindness.    What makes us fall in  love someone or something?  Let’s explore a couple of Love ideas. There’s the kind [...]
