Just a few more thoughts that seem to keep coming into the forefront in my head about last Thursday night’s democratic debate. I have often wondered about actual debate etiquette, for lack of a better term. When the two candidates came out, they both seemed to shake hands with Wolf Blitzer without any hesitation. When… Continue reading The Democrats … Again
For those of us who are still digging or chipping out of the most recent weather in the northeast, this may not be a day to celebrate. I live with two teenagers and neither seemed to excited to find out that today was the day I focus in on Punxatawney, Pennsylvania. Some day I will… Continue reading Happy Ground Hog’s Day!
February is the first month where we concentrate on one of the six principles of the journey for the entire month. This month we will concentrate on gratitude. I have to reiterate. 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

The one thing I left out of my lengthy diatribe about the GOP debate from January 30th is the timetable debate or name calling. Again, this was a discussion (again, I hope irony or sarcasm in blog terms comes from italics) between John McCain and Mitt Romney. Who else would it have been between since I think… Continue reading The Timetable Debate
Probably the only thing I liked about last night’s GOP debate was the setting. No one could have picked a beautiful and more significant location than the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library. Setting the four potential nominees in front of Air Force One from the Reagan era and having Nancy Regan in the front row was… Continue reading CNN’s Republican Debate
In our (a group of artists online) neverending way to work our way through Mary Todd Beam’s Celebrate Your Creative Self, we have been working on some white space in paintings. I understand the need for white space but I have trouble keeping it in creations. One method discussed in the books is wax resist.… Continue reading Wax Resist
