WEEKLY PHOTO CHALLENGE: TODAY – Transit of Venus
There’s a little black spot on the sun today! Stepping outside to capture the Transit of Venus, my phone failed to deliver the planet but WTF: Wow, this flower!
MY MINI MANTRA
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…

SWEETER THE SECOND TIME AROUND
Are things sweeter the second time around? Here are two arguments with two sides and I’d love to hear your thoughts. MEN Girl meets boy. Girl loves boy. Boy breaks up with girl. Girl gets over boy. Boy comes crawling back to girl when they’re both home for the summer… In my case, it didn’t…

SOMETHING ABOUT NOTHING
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…
SATISFYING MY HUNGER FOR A NEW SERIES
My inner tough-chick self hungered to see The Hunger Games to validate the feverish frenzy surrounding me. I loved the premise of kids sacrificing for another while making huge life-changing decisions towards their own futures. I got hung up on kids fighting to the death but went to see how this translated to screen. I…
COOL RIDER WEAKNESS
As I spin through the musical genius known as the soundtrack for Grease 2, let me divulge to you how I longed to be Stephanie Zinoni singing her heart out from the top of the ladder about her Coool Rider! I don’t care that she sang horribly, nor that this movie was extra cheesy. It…
BOWLING BALLERS
After surviving the craziest few weeks that I can recall in our 11+ years together, plus faced with many fabulous events that collectively threatened to blaze through our weekend with the blink of an eye, a theme song entered my head and had me searching for an alley to hang out in Friday night. We dangled…
DON’T KNOW WHETHER TO LAUGH OR CRY
A lady came in wearing a beautiful silver necklace featuring a guy with his arms out looking like he’s grabbing the chain he hangs from. I complimented her taste saying I love jewelry where it looks like someone is hanging from it. Why, just the day before I saw one where it looks like a…
MY FAVORITE FLUFFY FILMS
This week can’t end fast enough, yet, we could use a few more days. Nonetheless, we’re halfway and since we just started feeling that we may survive this week (knock on wood!), when the kids finally got to bed, I wanted to shut off my brain and just hang out while doing normal things like…
