I want to know if there is a number to call or a web site to go to to get my name off the auto callers that political candidates use. Three times yesterday this Virginia area code came up on my caller ID. Three times, I told the kids to let it go to the… Continue reading Politics is getting to me
You all know that making resolutions doesn’t normally last. I know this to be true but I like to try to check in each month with how I am doing on my aspirations. I have been creating new items but have not yet submitted anything for publication. I am well on my way to The… Continue reading A Look at January
One of my favorite Yahoo! groups is The Latest Trends in Mixed Media Arts. This month there is an art doll challenge. I sat down yesterday, in the midst of the Super Bowl madness, and designed two dolls. One is done and the other is drying still. The challenge goes like this – Create an… Continue reading Art Doll Challenge
The big question around my house was not who was going to win the replay of the NY football Giants – how many years has it been since there was anything but a football Giants in NY? – and the New England Patriots. It was what were the commercials going to be like. While the game… Continue reading Super Bowl Sunday
Just a few more thoughts that seem to keep coming into the forefront in my head about last Thursday night’s democratic debate.

You really NEED a gratitude journal and need to make writing in it a nightly habit. There are days when the nights are… Continue reading February – Simple Abundance
Hopefully, you are reading along daily as opposed to waiting to hear something from me. I have lead a book group around Sarah Ban Breathnach’s Simple Abundance for three years now and I never seem to get out the things I want when I want to but I keep trying. From the middle of January… Continue reading Wrap-Up of January Simple Abundance
While a lot of last night’s democratic presidential debate was on health care, there was no discussion of how the two candidates will deal with specific issues. On the eve of Go Red for Women day, I found that extremely ironic. February first has been designated as Go Red for Women to draw attention to… Continue reading Go Red for Women
First, let me say I am sitting here typing prior to 7am as February is coming in like the lion March is suppose to be. My kids have snow day although there may be little snow happening. I can hear the sleet and freezing rain on the windows now which means I will most likely,… Continue reading CNN’s Democratic Debate
