How do we celebrate the birthday of someone who has died? Someone who has passed on? Birthdays are celebration. We have birthdays to celebrate completing another trip around the sun. But when someone’s not here in the physical to make another trip around the sun, how do we deal with that? Do we acknowledge that […]

Day 2752- I’m So Excited
A couple of weeks ago, I hired a business growth consultant. I’m coming up on four years of running Grief 2 Growth. I’ve been splitting my time between two businesses. It’s time to go all in on my passion. It’s scary. But I know it’s the right time. In these four years, I’ve acquired a […]
Day 2672-Everything Must Go
Well, it’s time. We opened Treasured Locks twenty years ago, this past April. Kayla was five, and Shayna was two years old. The idea was to make enough extra money that we could go out once or twice a month and pay for dinner and a babysitter. I had no idea that Treasured Locks would […]
Day 2602- A Facebook Memory
One of the things I love most about Facebook is the “today in history” feature, otherwise known as a Facebook memory. Post a picture on Facebook, and on the anniversary of that posting, Facebook will drag it up and put it on your timeline reminding you of what you were doing on this day a […]
Day 2556- Shayna’s 7 Year Angelversary
Day 2465- Glorious
When I’m searching for a title for my posts, more often than not what comes to mind is a song title. If you’ve ever seen Zoey’s Extraordinary Playlist, you have some idea of how my mind works. A thought comes up, followed by a song. Thanks to the magic of Apple Music, I can now […]
Day 2461- I Will Not Be Like A Typical Teenager
We started Treasured Locks when Shayna was two years old. The girls were the inspiration for the business and both worked for us, for a while. Shayna loved leaving little notes for us all over. She would sneak into my office and write notes to me in my notebooks I used for jotting down notes […]
Day 2433- 100,000 Downloads
It’s day 2433 since Shayna passed away. Just about 1,000 days ago I launched the Grief 2 Growth Podcast. I started on a free platform and switched over to a more professional platform at the end of 2019. When I switched, I had about 5,00o downloads that didn’t transfer over. Just a few days ago, […]
Day 2408- 50th Anniversary of Pop’s Passing
Three days ago my little brother Brandon turned 50. It’s been fifty years since we brought him home from the hospital. I still remember the day. Today is the 50th anniversary of Pop’s passing. Dad’s father had been sick and bedridden for a while. So, we stopped by his house on the way home with […]
Day 2352- YouTube Channel Growth
I’ve spent the last day and a half spiffing up my YouTube channel. I’ve finally hit the marks to apply to monetize the channel. Thanks to a partnership with Shaman Oaks’ channel, a couple of my videos have gone a touch viral. Views of those videos are skyrocketing and my subscriber base is going along […]
