On the way back from the dentist, I stopped by the Post Office to drop off my mail. On the way out the door I was stopped in my tracks by the funniest thing I’ve seen in awhile. It was the classic “Dog As My Co-Pilot” moment. On the front seat of a Silver Jeep,… Read More
Thanks to technology, I was able to talk to my husband, who is currently in Singapore, twice today. Once this morning, early my time, right after he arrived and then for about three hours this evening. It is so amazing, except for losing the audio and having to resort to instant messaging. It used to… Read More
This morning, after I dropped off my husband at the airport, I stopped by our local Walmart to pick up a few things I forgot to get. During the checkout process, I met someone who clearly enjoyed his job. What a novel concept! Now I have heard many stories of the workers at this company… Read More
While driving around today doing my errands, I saw 2 guys…one with a sign and the other on a skateboard. They both struck me as being pretty ingenious. Both were doing something to deal with the economy, each in their own very different ways. The guy with the sign wasn’t standing on the corner begging for money. He was holding up a sign… Read More

Pulling into the parking lot, I grab the last parking spot available and ran… Read More
Well, after another week off to visit with our sister, Ann, I am back at it again. I didn’t really realize just how much work is involved in freelance writing and self promotion. It has become clearer now as I continue to research the possibilities. In the coming months, I will be expanding my marketing… Read More
Well, it has been a few weeks since I’ve last posted, but as usual, I’ve been a little busy. Starting this new project has kept me up late most nights with just writing. I am still having a hard time just trying to get organized, although I a closer. Last weekend, I finally got my… Read More
Now that I have made this decision, the next question I have for myself is “Now what?” How do I take the next step? I guess I need to make a list of things to do. My head is overwhelmed with all these thoughts so I think that making this list is the best thing.… Read More
A wise person once said “You can’t change the past, but the future…well, that’s still unwritten.” They were right. When faced with great obstacles, it takes everything you have to get up in the morning. The good news is that when you’re at your lowest, the only place to go from there is up. The… Read More
