Being the last Thursday of the month, Greensburg held its monthly night market. That meant downtown was going to be packed. The growth of this event has been so phenomenal over the last few years. I went a few times in 2020 to support small businesses during COVID, as the local restaurants and shops neededContinue reading “Greensburg Night Market/Coffee Bean Visit!”

Maintaining my Magnificent Speaking Streak!
Over the last year, I’ve given at least one speech every month at my Toastmasters meetings. Sometimes, if the schedule allows I give two speeches a month. I’ve done it in consecutive weeks as well. The exception has been the month of January, but I still consider this run to be successful, having spoken 11Continue reading “Maintaining my Magnificent Speaking Streak!”
Everything is Falling into Place!
Wednesday night, our Laurel Highlands officers all got together for a meeting. We used Google Meet, which was a nice contrast to Zoom. I’ve been attending online meetings since 2020 (when the pandemic forced us to hold them virtually), and this meeting was good, even if we didn’t cover everything in the allotted hour. WeContinue reading “Everything is Falling into Place!”

I’ve been “A Promised Land” for about a month and made it close to the halfway point.

I’ve read up on the collapse ofContinue reading “Looking Back at my Quarter-Life Crisis!”
It’s Summer, but Back to School and Fall are Coming!
Last night at work, I began to notice signs of change. It’s still summer, but I’m seeing back-to-school displays up front. In the back of the store and going into the backroom, I discovered boxes Halloween candy and Fall treats. These will go in the seasonal aisle as summer progresses. I have yet to seeContinue reading “It’s Summer, but Back to School and Fall are Coming!”

Making Headlines!
Making headlines today, my vacation has come to an end. Sometimes your time off has to end for the next one to begin, and that will be in October. By then I’ll be trading the pool and the fruity drinks for autumn leaves and pumpkin spice lattes. I needed a vacation from my vacation, andContinue reading “Making Headlines!”
