THE GOOD, THE BAD AND THE UGLY OF BEING OVERLY COMPETITIVE

Apr 28, 2016
I’ll admit it: I’ve always had a competitive streak.  For as long as I can remember, I’ve played to win.  I’ve always been driven to do my best.  For better or worse, it’s something that’s worked its way into almost every area of my life. I’ve written before how much I liked playing softball when I was a kid.  I…[...]

SPRINGTIME ON THE FARM

Apr 27, 2016
After the long winter we’ve had it is so good to finally feel the warmth of the sunshine and to see blue skies. I love this time of year when everything is “new” again—the grass is a brilliant shade of green, my magnolia and dogwood are in bloom, and my lilies, tulips, and hostas are all poking up through the…[...]

Fighting the Epidemic of Illegal Drugs

Apr 26, 2016
As I have been going door-to-door over the past few weeks, people have been asking me the same question: “What will be your number one priority as our judge?”  I’ve answered that question on multiple occasions in speeches and in private conversation, but for those who are still wondering, I thought it might be helpful for me to answer in…[...]

THE CICADAS ARE COMING! THE CICADAS ARE COMING!

Apr 25, 2016
Discussing with my husband why I wanted to delay opening our pool this year with my curious teenager listening, I pled my case with the little information that I knew about the 17-year locust and the fact that this spring marks a year that they will emerge from the ground. I know they will come for a few weeks, be…[...]

What is a Statute of Limitation and Why Should I Care?

Apr 22, 2016
Throughout my career as an attorney, I have had the opportunity to speak with many people about very difficult situations in their lives. In these conversations, there have been times where the person I am speaking with has had a strong legal claim and has suffered great damages, but we have not been able to help them.  One of the…[...]

Young Adult Children Still Living at Home

Apr 21, 2016
I hear and see young adult children still living at home a lot these days. (I have one who still lives at home.) People will ask, why do they still live with you? Well, it’s just easier and cheaper for them to live in our homes/basements than to move out on their own.  Some are not good with their money…[...]

Inspired by Life

Apr 20, 2016
I was driving to the office the other morning listening to the local radio station and the hosts were having a very inspirational discussion about life and how we all have experienced difficulties at one time or another, whether that be death of loved ones, losing a job, illnesses etc. Although those difficult times are hard on us and we…[...]

APPLE MUSIC – The Best or Worst Thing to Happen to Music?

Apr 18, 2016
OK, so right up front, let me say that the following discussion has absolutely nothing to do with law. But it was very much born from my work as a lawyer.  You see, as a trial lawyer, I am on the road a lot, travelling throughout West Virginia and the country at large, constantly gathering evidence to present at trials…[...]

Las Vegas – a Fascinating Place to Visit

Apr 15, 2016
I had a wonderful time in Las Vegas last week! When you see Las Vegas in the movies, it looks so confusing, but it’s really not. I did get lost in the Forum (a mall with hundreds of shops in it), but that was because the ceiling was like a sky light and everything looked the same. Plus, it was…[...]
