John Edwards

Posted in Just my Thoughts, Politics, tagged , , on 28 December 2006 | Leave a Comment »

 Well, I should start off by saying that I do believe it is way too early to be talking 2008 presidential primaries. Unfortunately, the reasonings behind today’s announcement by John Edwards all ring true so I will not hold the stretching out of the presidential election process against him. I am truly psyched! I have [...]

My Holiday Tradition

Posted in Family, Just my Thoughts on 6 December 2006 | Leave a Comment »

 Not that I really need to have someone tell me to blog about holiday traditions. The Advent calendar is near and dear to my heart.  I still try to send one to each of my college aged students every year.  It really kills two birds with one stone.  It helps them count down the days [...]

…. quite frankly, full! I just got off the phone with a business owner that I do contract work for.  He was discussing items that are upcoming – sort of a warning in a good way. In talking, I walked to my December calendar.  Wow!  I hope not much has to be fit in prior [...]

Okay, I have decidedly described myself as a sports fanatic many times. I am, though, not a big professional sports fan. I love World Cup Soccer and professional bicycling (though I have some questions about cycling nowadays). This weekend, though, was almost perfect. I have spent the weekend watching my favorite college football team play. [...]

Daily Meditations

Posted in Just my Thoughts, Simple Abundance, tagged on 2 December 2006 | Leave a Comment »

Every year I read a book called Simple Abundance, which is a book of daily meditations.  I find that as I read I get different things out of each reading at different times in my life.  These readings are not totally spiritual, though some are extremely spiritual.  The readings are about living as your authentic [...]
