Strategic Confession

I have a confession to make. I am extremely involved with an organization I care deeply about, and they don’t have a strategic plan. “Hi, my name is Mendi, and my favorite organization does not have a plan.”

Welcome to the Family!

For those of you who know me, or have read a prior blog, you know we welcomed chickens into our family last year.

It’s been a fun ride and a great learning experience for my kids.
