Follow the Yellow Brick Road

When I started my Medicare and Health Insurance consulting business in 2010, it was so exciting.   The passion of helping clients understand the complexity of a product that many times made no sense to them was something that brought me happiness to share. What always shocked me were things that were said to me when […]

Reach for the Son

As you most likely know, it was important for me to take a little break from social media.   It was important for me because I was getting caught up in conversations that were only adding fuel to dividing people that I love and respect. I needed time away to pray about how to move forward, […]

Trust your Gutt Instinct

The last time that I took my Mother to the doctor’s office in early 2012, she was recovering from phenomonia.  Although on that day she was doing better, she was still weak and fragile from what her body had just been through. When the doctor recommended that she have a flu shot on that same […]

The Best Choice for You

As an insurance broker, there is nothing I like better than to give my clients choices – choices on which insurance company to choose, which deductible works for them, which plan works for them, which network works for them, etc. When I first started in the health insurance industry, I represented one insurance company.    […]

The Worst Storms

At the end of each year, goals are written for both personal and professional. When 2020 started, things were great.   January and February were by far the busiest they had ever been in ten years of being in business. I also made a committment to myself to exercise at least three times a week and […]

Schedule for your Health – Your Work Routine
