Worried about the future of pipelines
Well, 2021 doesn’t seem to be any better than where 2020 left most of us. We have a new President, which was a victory for many but a gut punch for those working in the gas and oil fields. On his first day, President Biden chose to sign an Executive Order putting a stop to the permits for the Keystone XL pipeline. This decision will impact thousands of jobs associated with the construction of the pipeline as well as other opportunities associated according to TC Energy. Leaving a lot of us worried about the future of pipelines. This is beyond frustrating to many, including us. We were hoping to…

I wanted to take a second and share 5 steps to push past your inner critic (And let me tell ya, she was loud) that helped me get my book done.

You should be here…the bittersweet side of a traveling family
Today is our son’s first day of Kindergarten and I am sitting here crying like a baby.

Probably just the protests, right? A topic for another time. In case you have…

Where are we warehousing?
I don’t know about you but when I hear there is another assignment my first question is…Where are we warehousing? That is quickly followed up by… Asking my husband 100 questions he doesn’t have answers to Anyone else do this? No? Just me then. LOL I know I annoy him to no end but he still insists on telling me before he has all the details. So, who is to blame really? Part of it is the excitement of a new place but the other part is fear that we won’t find somewhere decent to stay. My next steps all involve one word…internet! I don’t know how we survived sometimes…
