I’ve wandered for 144 days now, and am still amused – regularly coming across refreshing new blogs. I wanted to share my observations as to everything that I’ve discovered blogging is to me. Please, wander with me for a bit, I’d love to learn about the gems you’ve found along the way too! Blogging is……
People say this is how it happens, but I never thought it would happen to me. My life changed in the blink of an unblinking eye! I went from being a loving mom to a suspect in a crime. More special than other days, last Friday held big meaning as I’d be reuniting with my…
When you’re working on an idea that you’re not ready to share with everyone, does it put up walls preventing other creativity? Maybe that’s just me. So sorry I’ve been absent and thank you for still being here! To make it up to you, I made you a cake! I’ve been praying for a potluck…
I love these two mantras: 1) Learn Something New Every Day 2) One Step at a Time! I recite them with successes, however, am hard on myself and forget the learning process if I make mistakes or don’t know “everything” immediately. Recently I’ve improved my skills evaluating my missteps to figure out their gift, but…
I wake up daily at 6am, intentionally or not. Today, being a rare morning with no children nor commitments, I set my alarm later. At 8am I awoke relishing how great it felt to still be in bed. I closed my eyes just for a moment to wake up slowly and when I did, it…
In our house the kids get excited about holidays – especially those involving gifts. We like to put thought into gift giving when we have the luxury of time, and they enjoy planning for me just as much. They start planning what they’re going to give me early on but considering they don’t have an…
Every four years the nation sits fixed to their TVs, anxious to celebrate people who worked hard to truly master skills for their shining moment. People embrace winners, hunger for underdog successes, and celebrate the rest simply because of their inspirational spirits! After the Olympic Closing ceremony, the sheen of gold, silver and brass tarnishes…
April proved to be an amazing month for parenting, but not-so-amazing for blogging. In my kids’ already compacted schedule, we added a Scout promotion, a scholastic reading contest, several musical recitals and amazing ball games to name a few. The month yielded many highlights and challenges but as I entered May – with its exponentially…
I’ve been asked where I get ideas for my daily blog. My better posts come from wandering after a train of thought intersecting my day. Some days I rely on prompts. Today a question leaped off the page at me continuing the train of thought for where ideas come from. I immediately had an answer…
We needed a slow night. After bidding adieu to friends, we took long baths, got in dryer-warmed jammies and read. Part of my 101 in 1001 is reading all the books on my bookshelf. I started with the largest book with the smallest “chapters”: Oprah’s Big Book of Happiness. Although Richard Branson’s article attracted me…
Whenever I get days off from work, I take care of neglected things – and as you’ve seen, blogging made the list longer. With me having three days off before rolling into the kids’ Spring Break, I couldn’t wait to get caught up. KIDS’ SCHOOL I immediately signed up to fulfill my parental duty working…
Last week, I thought it odd that my body got strangely calm when I gouged a chunk out of my pinky. I seemingly slowed down bodily functions, keeping my finger from bleeding until after I retrieved the ball from the rooftop, returned the broom to its owner, then raced to the bathroom to wash it….
