My love of Walt Disney started early. My mother raised me on re-runs of classic The Mickey Mouse Club episodes. When the Mouseketeers on the show would introduce themselves during the show opening, I’d always throw my name in at the end. “Hi! I’m Shannon,” I’d proudly say – pretending to wear my Mickey ears!

When my daughter recently decided to cut her very long hair, it just made sense to talk to her about donating the hair she was cutting off. She was instantly energized by the idea of helping someone that needed the hair she was getting rid of! It seemed like a win/win. But when I started […]

It shouldn’t have taken this long, but I just we It shouldn’t have taken this long, but I just went bowling for the first time in my life! 🎳

I avoided it at first because it didn’t seem that fun. Then- because I didn’t know how to do it. But, this year I’m challenging myself to try new things. Even if I look like an idiot! Who cares?! 😃

Bottom line, loved bowling. I suck. But it’s fun! Who knew? Well, lots of people. But now me too! Also- it’s helpful to have friends that make you try new things and expand your horizons. Super grateful for mine! ❤️
