September 21st, 2014 Yesterday I announced my intention to participate in Michael Wood's 10,000 step challenge. Today I don't think I could do the sugar part – abstain from added sugar for the whole month – without doing some sort of gearing up during these last few weeks of October. I need some mental preparation and lots . . . → Read More: Gearing Up
July 27th, 2013 Should you? Maybe not. Not everyone should. In the blogs that I follow, I came across a very interesting topic. Should you blog? Should you become a plumber? A teacher? Write a book? Play golf? Not everyone should. So, why do we do the things we do?
I follow both Frank Viola’s blog and . . . → Read More: Should You?
July 21st, 2013 This is the first weekend in almost a month my husband and I have been alone. We had some great things planned. Last night we went to the Cape Cod Art Bar.

Each day’s topic deals with observation and noticing the world around us. Yesterday’s . . . → Read More: All By Myself
July 5th, 2013 Just serious appreciation for the friends and family here this week around the fire pit. It’s 6 pm and the kids are just migrating back from the beach. The backyard is cool and breezy. Dinner is simmering on the grill. There’s a Skinny Girl Margarita to my right.
Today I didn’t even attempt the . . . → Read More: Tonight.
June 9th, 2013 This weekend my husband and I had a great time building a new fire pit in the backyard. This involved shoveling shells. Now, you may not think of shells as something to shovel. You think of bark mulch, dirt, and mostly snow when you think of shoveling something, but in our case, this weekend, we . . . → Read More: Shoveling Shells
April 6th, 2013 Today’s message from the universe was one of simplicity. My NY daughter and I rarely get to spend a day together here in NY. Today she had to shop for a complete outfit to wear to a wedding next weekend and she asked me to go along. Finding a dress and shoes and jewelry was . . . → Read More: A Rare Day
January 28th, 2013 Some days are just filled with love. Not big, huge starry-eyed I'm falling in love love, but teeny tiny fondness love for little ordinary things. This weekend, as I cleaned, relaxed, and did artwork, I found myself saying "I really love and appreciate ______." to my husband four or five times. I asked him to . . . → Read More: iLuv
