A Little History Nine months ago I started a new position with UCP of West Central WI (UCP of WCW). Uncertain of where this journey would take me, I went for it, in memory of my twin sister Amanda Vieth. She used their services when we were kids. I vaguely remember her being the Youth…
I am all about supporting local businesses, entrepreneurs, artists, you name it. There’s one business in particular that’s inspired me throughout this year whilst working on my writing and pushing myself to read more. That business is Dotters Books. Dotters is a small, local, women run and owned bookstore. (Women power!) They just opened their…
2/16/19 Dear Diary, I have 10 million things on my to do list today and I cannot concentrate. Some of the items on my list seem fun – maybe I’ll do those first. *hmm* Or, actually if I do the not so fun tasks and get them out of the way I can look forward…

You know that age old saying, “stop and smell the roses”? Well July 2018 is that month for me. I’ll be stopping and smelling those damn roses a bunch this month! Or maybe I should say I’m creating my own roses to smell. Since graduating from college, life has felt like this huge question mark…
The summer of work and getting shit done. More than ever, 2018 has been a year where my future and goals clog up my mind. I’ve got that home buying fever, but no savings for a down payment. *sigh* Right now, my new job is keeping me busy enough that I feel like there isn’t…
