It’s been a whirlwind few weeks…But one of the twin sisters I’ve mentored over the last #5 years graduated from the College of St. Benedict this past weekend! And her sister (who is doing well, working & living independently in Orlando, FL) flew in for the graduation. Made my heart happy to see them both doing so well and thriving!

Also grateful to ALL the people on their mentorship team who have had a hand in their success! It takes a Village….and that’s the truth.

And kudo’s to Laura Yuen from the Minnesota Star Tribune, who did a follow up story on the girls; she first wrote about them at the beginning of their freshman year; she just wrote the below article last week!

So proud! Giving back to the next generation is SO important! #mentoringmatters

Cleaning the garage. Boom Box on.

Gen Z son thinks Boom Box is cool

How very Gen X of you, Son. (aka: proud mom)

Fav day of the week? Friday’s.

I’m at the office.

Still fun. Friday’s F**cking rock.

Spring time & feeling youthful..time to break out my converse…

Back in the day I didn’t need Dr. Scholl’s…

F***. This sucks.

Shooting TV wraps today for Minnesota Bound! It’s nice to get a break from the script writing and office “stuff” & head outside!

On this week’s Latchkey Logic Podcast, Bamba and I deep dived into 1977…the pop culture, the music, the news, the politics, the tech, the fashion…

Listen everywhere you get your podcasts!

Circa pretty darn close to 1977…I’m the smallest on the end there in the strange shirt. I was #7 years old in 1977. Times were good.

Some random snap shots of my home office…which I do miss while I’m at my work office all week….Which is weird, I know.

Change is a good thing…some would say it’s a necessary beast in the world of television production, especially local programming like Minnesota Bound.

We’ve had a good 30 year run on NBC…now it’s time for an exciting change – to KSTP/ABC! We moved at the start of 2026, and couldn’t be happier!

I’ll be celebrating my 30th year at Ron Schara Productions this coming May, in 2026! I was only #25 years old when I started…say it ain’ so! Grateful to work with such an award-winning team!

Yay and congrats to all the nominees and the winner-winner- chicken dinners! I lost in the writer craft category (& the other 4, too) but in good news, the Iowa Hawkeyes won! Hubby Cy had my back, with the score on his phone…. I was happy just to be nominated in the craft writer category…ridiculous writing talent in this market!

I really totally dig just shopping for new & cool dresses to wear.

Our company & team did take home a couple, so we’ll take it! #MidwestEmmys #minnesotabound
