Do you have an item to do that is so small and {likely} inconsequential that it keeps getting pushed to the bottom of your to-do list to make room for more important things? Have you ever thought about how LONG that item (or items) have stayed at the bottom of the list? If you are…
I know I sound like a broken record, as the theme this week is “I have a lot on my plate” {including 200+ emails that need to be dealt with tomorrow (and through the week)}, but I am happy to report I am finally making some progress for my (our) book*. It occurred to me…
About this series: I know a lot of my friends are struggling with this same issue of not being able to keep up with our paperwork and keeping it organized. Last year I had to get honest with myself and understand how I let things get so out of control. First, I had to take…

Hi! I am @TorreyLisa, a public figure and wife of a wounded warrior. You can follow me through the ups and downs of managing life after combat. Fueled by copious amounts of coffee and armed with an incredible sense of humor, I am "spilling the beans" about life, writing, relationships and cutting bureaucratic red tape.
I promise to regularly deliver inspiration, education, resources and humor to the military and caregiver community with a special focus on how to improve, simplify and enjoy our complicated lives.
This is my blog. My thoughts, feelings, survival tactics, and life. Uncensored.Welcome.
