Last month marked 10 years since I launched my first company, Innovatec Services, LLC and became an entrepreneur. Exactly 1 year today, I launched F7LN. And I couldn’t help but think about the plethora of experiences, accomplishments, and especially amazing things and people that have blessed my journey, even beyond what I’ve imagined. Life has […]
This week I couldn’t help but reflect on the fact that it’s been 7 years since I’ve seen my brother’s face. Yes, I still get teary-eyed at times when I think about how I miss him. I started to think about what it really means to be a ‘sister’ or a ‘brother’, what is unique […]
So, as you may have noticed, my posting on F7LN had significantly slowed down over the last 3 months (but will be back in the grove shortly). For those of you that may have been wondering what’s been up with me, I’ve been managing a summer employment program with 80 teen & young adult workers […]

Well, I had plenty of time waiting in the police station to think about this one. I wasn’t sure how or if to share this, as it took a while to set it, but as in many circumstances there are lessons, moments of clarity, and opportunities to bless someone else. Yesterday with it being sunny […]
So I know I didn’t post to F7LN last week. It’s not that I didn’t want to. I usually post based on things I feel led or inspired to share and there wasn’t anything I seemed to be moved to post. I even got a little bothered in trying to, but as I’ve come to […]
Well, this past Sunday I kicked off my indoor triathlon season at the Midwest Indoor Tri-Classic Series in Wheaton, IL. It is a great way to get into the groove of training for the new year. This was the first in a series of 3 that take place every 2 Sundays and I like this […]
