Guest Blogger: Peggy Norwood Stella of Equessence, LLC I met Dill for the first time in March of last year. I was visiting Advantage Ranch in Blacksburg, VA. Walking down the aisle of the barn I felt compelled to step over to his stall and take a closer look. “Who is this?? He is soooo…
As a babyboomer, I grew up with a beloved TV show, “Mr. Ed”, about a talking horse. As a child, I believed that horses could talk if they really wanted to, thanks to Mr. Ed. Well…recently I met a “talking” horse named Dill, who taught me a bunch about being vs doing, the art of…
Who knew that a tiny, oddly shaped book, like the one below, could contain a (get ready…) Business Plan?! Rather unorthodox don’t you think? But guess what, it works! Not only is it a creative journey into the depths of your inner planner, it’s also a visual tool to help you stay on track. You…

“Do not conform any longer to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind.” Romans 12: 2 NIV “Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable – if anything is excellent and praiseworthy – think about such…
Your first thought of OCD is probably “neat freak” or something like that. What if it was the opposite end of the spectrum? Buying my first home has got me thinking about clearing my space. Not just physical space, but “head space.” By nature, I’m a neat-freak-aholic; but even us minimalists accumulate clutter through a…
The syrupy famous Chef Mrs. Paula Dean herself was interviewed on a local radio station. She simply tickles me! Her optimism and joy for family and comfort thrill me. Although, I’m sure eating all those yummy foods would get me at some point, if you know what I mean. She was talking about how many…
I recently traveled for on my first mid-west trip. I had heard horror stories about the weather out there this time of year: snow, winds, and sub-zero temps. What is a girl from North Carolina supposed to pack on a trip like this? I hate second guessing baggage claim at the airports if I have…
