With May right around the corner, and our first…dare-I-say-it…warm and sunny weekend in what feels like months, what better way to celebrate the season than with freshly-made lemonade! Who doesn’t love an invitation to sit under the covered patio with something just a little bit sweet and a little bit tangy! You might think making…
“To Garden—or NOT to garden!” The Groundhog is certainly getting some criticism this year as his prediction was for an “early Spring”….and yet here we are, almost mid-April, with snow blanketing many parts of the U.S. just days ago! The first warm temperatures beginning in March, though, bring forth such enthusiasm for gardening and planting…
“Spring Cleaning”, in my opinion, seems to be more about “donating” than cleaning….it’s impossible to clean rooms with too much stuff—otherwise all you’re doing is shifting the mess! And from someone who isn’t shy about my compulsive need for “”, at least three times a year I find a trunk-full of kitchen/garage items and clothing to pass…
If you purchased your 2018 health insurance policy through the Marketplace, and you reside in Greene or Christian county, you’re probably covered by “Ambetter Health”. This was a new company to residents in our area, and as we were hesitant at first to discuss our personal feelings toward the reputation of the company based on…
On October 12, 2017 President Trump signed an executive order in an effort to improve healthcare. Within this order was a proposal to expand Short-Term Insurance plans to less than 12 months, but greater than the currently held two-month limit in Missouri. Who’s a good fit for a Short Term plan?

November 1, 2013 was a day I remember all too well…for any individual health insurance broker, this particular day began with many unknowns and in a financial industry, not a comfortable place to start business. For those of you who don’t know, this was the first day that the “Marketplace” became live in Missouri (www.healthcare.gov,…
The individual open enrollment window officially closed on December 15, 2017…and if you have a broker who works on your behalf, you might have heard them a time or two reference it as our “tax season”, so to speak. It’s a time of deadlines, back to back appointments, plan changes, and lots of it, within…
For many of you, September is still marked as the beginning of the school year—but creeping upon us will soon be the time of year that many will need to review and/or change their Medicare coverage, or Individual Health Insurance plan. If you’re “Medicare-Eligible”, that is, you’re over age 65 (or eligible for Medicare due…
I’ve always been particularly obsessed with design and décor…I can certainly leave whatever work ailments I have behind and pretend it doesn’t exist the second my hands get to forming a new design on a wall in my house. It all seems to begin with a few nights plopped on the sofa staring at…
One of my dearest clients once mentioned to me years ago while I was reviewing his medical insurance how convenient it would be if all of his insurance could be “under one roof”.
