A journey I never wanted to take
I am going to write of a journey I never wanted to take, a journey with only one end. Maybe, maybe…it will help others who find themselves on this path
By Rich Heiland, Columnist, The Times
THIS IS THE beginning of a tale about an ending.
I have no idea how long it will go on, or where it will take me. I know the ending but am not able to accept it yet so it is a tale that will write itself as...
Don’t Retire, ReFire: Coming through the winter of our lives
By Gail Supplee Tatum, Columnist, The Times
As we come out of the winter and enter the season of spring, with longer days and warming temperatures, it brings to mind my own movement through winter and how I handled this dormant period of time. I then pondered on how we, as humans, get through the winter.
Winter is that one season that has the most effect on our emotions. “The Winter Blues” is very...
Don’t retire, ReFire: What sets your soul on fire?
By Gail Supplee Tatum, Columnist, The Times
This is a question we should all ask ourselves, as soon as we open our eyes to greet the day. How many of us actually do that? How many of us know the answer to that burning question?
Do we know if the answer is there, deep inside of us, bubbling up, but somehow it’s clouded by our everyday routine and obligations or is this concept, for some, a new...
Don’t Retire, ReFire: Pay inspiration forward
By Gail Supplee Tatum, Columnist, The Times
Do you give yourself enough credit? Most of us don’t. If we did we would feel so much more fulfilled. It would give us a purpose. If you struggle with feeling a sense of purpose, consider inspiring someone else. The saying goes that it’s better to give than to receive. This certainly is true in my life.
No matter what our age, each of us is...
Don’t Retire, ReFire: Hello 65!
By Gail Supplee Tatum, Columnist, The Times
Some of you may be approaching 65, some of you may be past 65, and some of you may be years away from 65. Wherever you are in relation to age 65, it’s a number that brings many emotions, good, bad or uncertain. For me, the first positive change I that comes to mind is Medicare. I have been waiting for this for a year! Being Self-Employed, I have paid for...
All About Connecting: Just go for it
By Nancy Plummer, Columnist, The Times
We’ve all heard from friends, family members, and co-workers, that they are “sort of” dating, but don’t know if it’s going to lead to anything. Many of our clients at All About Connecting say the same thing to us. Then, they wonder why the relationship just peters out. To all of my readers, I promise you will do better to JUST GO FOR IT!
As Nick Cannon...

A small gift to those we love
By Nancy Plummer, Columnist, The Times
Dear Readers,
I’ve promised to keep you updated on my Ovarian Cancer journey…and I’m doing great considering this is indeed a marathon. Sadly, though, my father has cancer too, and he is not fairing as well. In fact, he must have an operation on December 9th.
For someone who has had to grapple with the idea of death just around the corner, I felt so inspired...

By Nancy Plummer, Columnist, The Times
My Dear Readers,
I promised to keep you up to date on my Ovarian Cancer journey, and since there’s nothing like fighting for your life that brings home the gift of all your relationships, I want to share with you an important message.
