Spring!

Spring is here, and boy is it wonderful here in Wisconsin. Trees are budding, daffodils and tulips are coming out the soil, sun is warm, and days are longer. We are a hardy bunch who choose to live in Wisconsin and face the long, dark, cold winters. I think those winters make the spring all the more precious. Get outside, feel the sun, soak up the vitamin D- we need it! And be happy for another year of growth!

He takes very good care of me and supports me in all things that I want to do; he is protective and always has my back. I like to think that I have given him stability, challenged him to grow, and adventure- I can get bored easily and need to keep life interesting! Steve helped heal all my insecurities that I carried with me for such a long time, and that is truly one of the biggest gifts ever. So when I see clients' insecurities, I have much compassion- it is so painful to feel like we are not good enough in some ways, or in all ways.

My husband is very extroverted (energy comes from being with people and social interactions) and for years I tried to change him and make him more like me! It didn't work, thank goodness. I wanted him to not talk as much and to quit telling our business to everyone. As I understood personality type better,...
