Blessings

  Laura Story is one of my favorite songwriters and singer.   This song, “Blessings” refrain goes like this: “Cause what if your blessings come through raindrops What if your healing comes through tears What if a thousand sleepness nights are what it takes to know You’re near What if trials of this life are your […]

The Countdown Is On

Already October!   It is so hard to believe that we are officially in the last quarter of 2018. We are also fourteen days away from the Annual Election Period for Medicare beneficiaries and one month away from the Open Enrollment for Health Insurance. What exactly does this mean? Regarding the Annual Election Period (AEP), this […]

Medicare Annual Notice of Change

Beware of Scammers

About two months ago, there was a voicemail that was left for me.   On this voicemail was a call telling me to call right away about a personal matter.   I could barely understand the voice on other end of the phone, but because insurance companies call me often about personal matters for clients, it wasn’t […]
