Ahhhh Christmas. The most wonderful time of the year. I love the holiday, not because of the gifts, but because of the overall spirit of the season. Sure there comes stress and grumpy folks to deal with, but the joy seems to melt that all away. I’ve loved Christmas ever since I was a little … Continue reading
Trying to get back on track with blogging regularly, I came across this weekly photo challenge and it was the perfect inspiration. I love telling stories. Whether it’s through words, photographs, or arts and crafts projects, I guess you could say I am a storyteller, and if you did say that, I’d take it as a compliment. … Continue reading
… Great lyrics and beautiful song by Bonnie Raitt. I’ve always loved it. When I was a naive twenty-something, I used to play it intentionally for a boyfriend of mine who just couldn’t seem to say those three little words to me – I … LOVE … YOU – let alone feel the emotion for me. … Continue reading

Yesterday was one of THOSE days. Not those days, THOSE days; a great day! The stars seemed to be aligned in my Aquarian favor and the universe was generating ridiculously positive energy. I don’t know what Mercury was doing (I never did understand the whole Mercury in retrograde thing, although I want to) but I’m … Continue reading
That’s right. I said it. My idol is a dashboard monk; MY dashboard monk to be exact! Yes, I realize he is an inanimate object, but nonetheless, I admire him and strive to be like him; not to be inanimate, but well, let me explain … The day I purchased him, he seemed to be … Continue reading

For this particular conversation with myself/blog post, let’s just say it is still the “eyebrow”; and that brow is drooping. The skin is starting to sag. Proof: … Continue reading
Last month I heard news of a gentleman in my community who is silently suffering. It immediately weighed heavy on my heart, and I just wanted to do something, anything I could to help him. I immediately started typing a message to some of my Facebook contacts: Dear Friends – As some of you may … Continue reading
