Stream of Consciousness Sunday: Breaking But Not Entering

December 11, 2011

So many things to write about before I kick off the next week. It was hard to decide but ultimately, I knew what I would have to write about. As I sorted through a few thoughts in my head, I kept thinking about the rant I was going to go on. Luckily, I waited and [...]

Stream of Consciousness Sunday: About My Grandma

November 27, 2011

I’m totally out of line today. I broke all the rules. I wrote for 10 minutes. I corrected a few typos so you wouldn’t get hung up on nonsense words. But I never went back and edited or proofread. And I’m adding in a few pictures. Not that that’s against the rules. And not like [...]

An Anniversary Party for Dansko

November 18, 2011

Happy 20th Anniversary to Dansko footwear! Oh, how I remember turning 20. I was a junior in college and all I could think about was one thing: ONLY ONE MORE YEAR UNTIL I’M LEGAL DRINKING AGE! But since we’re talking about shoes, I doubt that’s how they’re feeling. In fact, I know how they’re feeling. [...]

It Takes a Blogosphere to Rise to the Challenge

November 15, 2011

Several weeks ago, I put it out there for everyone to see. I said I was entering a contest for social good, the flippin’ good deeds Challenge hosted by Soles4Souls and sponsored by flipflop wines. I generally think that if I post something publicly that it holds me more accountable. So when I decided to [...]

The Other Side of Haiti and the Beauty That Lies Within

November 2, 2011

Have you ever visited Haiti? I did. I traveled there back in 2003. I was aboard the new mega cruise ship, Navigator of the Seas, that was part of Royal Caribbean’s fleet. Our final port of call was Labadee, Haiti. I had no idea why anyone would want to go to Haiti until we docked [...]

My Big Announcement: A Contest I Don’t Mind Losing

September 30, 2011

I’m officially announcing my candidacy for President. (just kidding) If I were running for President, I wouldn’t want to lose. Too costly. Plus I don’t really want to be President. The Announcement Have you heard the term “social good”? It’s something I believe in: using my social media powers for good. I’ve finally found a [...]

From One Mother to Another

September 12, 2011

When was the last time someone did something nice for you? And by “you,” I’m referring to all you moms out there. It’s not that dads and childless men and women don’t deserve their own sort of kindness. It’s that moms somehow manage to create a breed all their own. And this breed can curse [...]

Stream of Consciousness Sunday: It’s not the end of the world as we know it (and I still feel fine)

August 28, 2011

EARTHQUAKES! HURRICANES! ZOMBIES! Okay, there haven’t been any reports of zombies. Although I have been playing a lot of Plants vs. Zombies lately but I think it’s completely unrelated to the earthquakes and hurricanes. Mother Nature has been playing a few tricks on us lately and I actually kind of like it. I’m not saying [...]

The Sad Little Tree

August 17, 2011

Did I ever tell you about my next door neighbor? Charles and Shelia moved in next door a few months after we bought our house. It was a new section of the community and all the homes were being newly built. We met them after we had moved in and after construction had begun on [...]

Stream of Consciousness Sunday: It’s easy to walk away

August 14, 2011

One of the hardest things to learn as you get older is that you can’t be all things to all people. You can’t be the best daughter, wife, mother, and friend. You can certainly try but you’ll probably lose your sanity in the process. All you can do is be the best person you can [...]
