Geez Louise. I’d like to take a moment and praise the brilliant mind who created Calmine lotion. The pink gook has probably preserved my sanity. For over a week, I’ve had a horribly itchy rash thanks to poison oak - arms, face, legs, stomach. Wheeeee. To compound the misery, I have horrible allergies and they’re taking [...]

As I said in a recent post, I’ve really been enjoying the Olympic Games. My youngest daughter and I have actually missed very little. My husband, who is generally in another room getting his whole baseball thing on, does show up for the swimming, but that’s about it. When the gymnasts start tumbling, he heads [...]

People are lonely because they build walls instead of bridges. - Unknown
The thought of someone being lonely makes me incredibly sad. I can’t imagine how absolutely horrible loneliness must feel. Being an only child, you’d think I’d have some idea of lonely, but pets, friends, and family (not necessarily in that order!) more than [...]

“Life is a joke. The only way to survive it is to find the right punchline.” - Becky Alunan
A few months ago, it struck me just how important it is to have a sense of humor. My husband and I had looked forward (literally for months) to a particular event. When the big day finally arrived, we were [...]

I’m a student of people and their behavior. Whether it’s a rude person I encounter online or a sweet, talkative girl in the Ritzy’s drive thru (with an adorable Canadian accent I could have listened to all day), people fascinate me.
I’ve noticed a few changes lately in temperment. I realize it’s ridiculous to talk in generalities, so let [...]

Why in the world do we often fall prey to the same demons time and time again?! I mean, once we gain a little ground on them, wouldn’t you think we’d never go back? Don’t reasonable people learn from their mistakes and never make the same one ever again.
Absolutely. In Fairy Tales.
The problem is, we’re [...]

Self Discovery. This one phrase has more life-changing power in it than most people realize. You can’t possibly improve ANYTHING unless you first understand it and know it for what it is, inside and out. That’s why I love programs, books, websites, lessons, etc. that have enough sense to focus on self discovery.
It’s only after an individual [...]

One of Steph’s Recent Graphics
From my youngest daughter, Stephany, I’ve learned that you never know what you can do until you try - and if you try hard enough, you might just knock your own socks off!
I can see some of myself in each of my daughters, but when it comes to Steph - it [...]

I remember the first time I ever laid eyes on my daughter Emily. With big, beautiful blue eyes, she was a little scene stealer that totally captivated me. I saw her a few minutes ago as she left for work. Some things? They just never change.
Like her father and sisters, Emily has [...]

Every day of your life that you’re not actively engaged in staying fit, eating well, and strengthening your body the gap [...]
