Growth and development through personal testimonies.
The Mandalorian. His Dark Materials. Now, Cobra Kai. The last few weeks of December and the beginning of January meant more than just the end of 2020. The season ending episodes of each of my favorite shows had also occurred in a thrilling, but dreadfully short time period. So, now that I have watched everything […]

Recently, for the first time in my life, I started to read in my free time and have found it a great way to expand my knowledge on my own accord. I should clarify by saying “read in my free time” really means “read in general”. As sad as it is to say, I probably

I’ve heard it. I might’ve even said it. I’ve definitely felt it. The “I Just Work Here” mentality creeps up once in a while. I think when overwhelmed, disappointed in a decision made for the gander, or when feeling less-qualified in the line and level of work, we tend to resort to comforting ourselves and

I’ve been with Wepco Plastics for 7 years now, and as I reflect, I see that the company I work for is dramatically different than the one I began with, in hundreds of ways.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YxLEUcKk20I I don’t really get embarrassed. I can recall 3 childhood occasions of embarrassment, tops. Typically, not much makes me feel like I want to hide, and I attribute that to my goofy nature and ease of adaptability. I get nervous, sure. And even more so, I feel discomfort like anyone else, but discomfort is

When I was a little girl, I loved creating anything from jewelry to origami. I still do. I could look at a hand of recycled beads and incision a beautiful necklace, or take scrap wood to make a jewelry box. I love being able to transform something ordinary into a beautiful piece. It’s my perspective

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jt4XY0eu5DU We are small compared to the ocean. Deep territory unexplored, the ocean must be home to more than the human brain has the capacity to grasp. The depth of the ocean is similar to the concept of Heaven, or our minimal knowledge of space… compared to the galaxies, our existence is minor. I’d like
I have been involved in manufacturing for most of my life; my father, Wally Parmelee, started an injection molding company in the early 80s, then and still known as Wepco Plastics. He took a tremendous risk in doing so. With a wife, two kids, and a mortgage, this decision was not an easy one for

I decided again to watch the documentary Free Solo with my children. It chronicles the journey of Alex Honnold as he plans to attempt a ropeless ascent of the 7,569 foot granite face of El Capitan in Yosemite. I was originally drawn to it because of my love for our National Parks and nature in
