Open enrollment for the Affordability Care Act (ACA) or, as it is more popularly known, Obamacare, continues until Feb. 1, 2016. But since we’ve passed Dec.15, any changes you want to make now will start Feb.1. That said, though, there are a few things I’ve learned that I’d like to pass on to you. The first, although it’s quite self-serving, don’t take this on by yourself. Find a qualified agent or broker to take it on for you. There are some real subtleties that can cause you to be required...
We’re three weeks into the open enrollment for the Affordability Care Act (ACA) or, as it is more popularly known, Obamacare. There are a few things I’ve learned that I’d like to pass on to you.

There are some real subtleties that may require you to call Covered CA, and unless you know the “how and when” of that experience, you can literally spend hours on hold...

The Tehachapi Congregational Church presented for its October First Friday a showcase of some of these special women who have helped make a better world. It was a pleasant evening of education and discussion....

There’s a vivid memory I hold dear from visiting the San Antonio River Walk—the melodious sounds of the Native American wooden flutes. We were celebrating my 2nd-oldest daughter who had just graduated from US Air Force BMT. It was emotional and is seared in my motherly heart. No doubt, others have experienced seeing one’s child graduating from “Boot Camp” and have profound memories too. On that day, sixteen years ago, I first heard the soft melodies of wooden flutes echoing through the concrete canyons of the River Walk. As I’ve expressed befor...

When I was in Uganda, I saw only two people ask for money, but frequently villagers would ask, “Do you have any soap?” Homeless people in our country need soap, too. Soap prevents disease and infection - keeping you from being ill, and extending your life. During the month of July, my church at E and Green Streets in Tehachapi, will be doing a “Soap for Success” campaign, a...
