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. …
What I love most about traditions is that they connect you to people even after they’re gone. My favorite Easter tradition is baking the Italian meat pies that my Mama taught me how to make. Some people call it Pizza Rustica or Pizza Gain, my family calls it Pizza Piena, which means stuffed pie. And …
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 …
It’s true; they are. Well, the skin beneath the actual hair of my eyebrows and above my eyelids is, to be exact. Is that technically still the eyebrow? 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: …
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 …
December 14th, 2012. A date that will never be forgotten; likely a date that will be read about in history books by future generations. The day that 28 lives were lost; 20 innocent children, six inspiring leaders, a mother and a troubled young man. As a nation we mourn together. We continue to ask “Why?” … Continue reading
Addiction is an awful thing. It’s something that seems to be a topic on the news a lot lately, and it’s unfortunate that it takes tragedies for it to be spoken about so much and discussed so openly. Unless you were completely unplugged this weekend and disconnected from society, you know that Amy Winehouse was … Continue reading

Over the past couple of weeks I’ve been having a new challenge with that cute little ‘ol puggle of mine. Yes, the one and only Walker Texas Ranger AKA Chuck Norris. About two months ago he began having seizures; watching my dog have a seizure and not being able to do anything to help him is … Continue reading
Dear Summer: Chub rub and profuse sweating aside, which I realize are personal issues, could you maybe go a little easier on us? By nature I know you’re hot. I know you know you’re hot, and maybe that works with some of the ladies, but it’s not a turn on for this girl. I’m just … Continue reading
Life catches up with you when you’re not looking. Actually, when you’re avoiding it, it hits you like a mack truck; life’s way of saying “snap out it already!” About three months ago I adopted a puggle named Walker. My brother-in-law’s friend needed to find his dog a new home because one of his children was allergic … Continue reading
I’m sitting on my couch watching The Voice and I find myself in a moment of pure happiness … contentment, even. I just enjoyed a couple of slices of FREE pizza, left over from lunch at work, and a glass of a smooth, buttery Chardonnay while getting lost in the music and the beauty of … Continue reading
This dreary Monday cannot seem to go by fast enough. What better way to wake up the brain during an afternoon lull than with some “Unconscious Mutterings” … Week 434 International :: Travel, Adventure Witnesses :: Onlookers, Proof Rising :: Star, Bread, Temperature, Blood Pressure Two years ago :: Sooooooo different, Lighter in body & soul … Continue reading
At the risk of sounding like a holy roller, with all my recent talk of spirituality and religion, I have to say … “This is the day the Lord has made. Let us rejoice and be glad.” And what a day it is! Later on this evening I will attend an event to honor my … Continue reading
