Positive Talk

I have a confession. My mind is never quiet.  There is a constant stream of dialogue running through my brain at all times.  I guess you could say I talk to myself.  What can I say?  I'm a good listener.  LOL. I know I'm not special in this regard.  As all have a set of… Continue reading Positive Talk

Being Right is Overrated

"I don't care what the critics say.  I'm right and they're wrong." Nearly everyone to ever live on this planet wants to be right.  I blame ego.  Often, it doesn't matter if someone gets hurt in the name of being right. I have to admit.  I am getting weary of all the news reporting wars,… Continue reading Being Right is Overrated

Celestial Wonders

The event began yesterday morning with an ever-so-slight shift of light... a bit of darkness.  Through my solar eclipse glasses, it appeared as if someone nibbled a small bite out of the sun. Slowly - yet not slowly - the shadow crept its way across the sun's surface. As these celestial bodies began to align… Continue reading Celestial Wonders

Love Trumps Them All

Under Pressure - Queen and David Bowie I must confess, I don't understand hatred. The examples of hatred that are saturating our society baffle me.  Hatred run rampant in our politics, society, and religions.  I can't escape!  I see hatred on television shows, movies, computer screens, schools, streets and communities.  I see hate's ignorance and… Continue reading Love Trumps Them All

Thought Tuesday – Sometimes You Have To Let Go 

This thought is a key to survival.  I am learning it is ok to let things go.  Most of the time I let my house work go.  I am currently at a family reunion and I walked out of my house with my dishes filling the sink and spilling out over the counters.  Toys are… Continue reading Thought Tuesday – Sometimes You Have To Let Go

Thought Tuesday – Don’t underestimate me 

There are moments when I feel highly underestimated.  Perhaps the reason why is that people forget that you never really stop getting to know people.  When you think you know them, they surprise you?  I am learning that I should never underestimate people because I might be wrong. Every relationship must be renewed by learning… Continue reading Thought Tuesday – Don’t underestimate me

An Open Letter to Those Who Hate The School Dress Code 

I have noticed a ton of resistance to dress codes in schools.  I have something to say... get over it. A dress code is not about body shaming.  It is not about control.  It's not about taking away individuality. The dress code is not about making social divisions.  It is not about taking away individual… Continue reading An Open Letter to Those Who Hate The School Dress Code

Mouse trap 

Alright, lets jump straight into a conversation I had with Lillian yesterday morning.  Imagine.  I was cleaning up in the kitchen and I find a drawer full of little black rice-looking pellets.  “Gross!  Not mice.”  “There’s a house in our house?”  Lillian screamed and jumped on a chair.  As if that would help. That’s right,… Continue reading Mouse trap

In Honor of Columbus 

Yesterday I noticed several people complaining that we, as a nation, honor Christopher Columbus for the “discovery” of the Americas. This morning, as I drove my kids to early morning classes at our local high school, I listened to radio hosts talk about those that would like to “dis”-honor Columbus for his contributions to our… Continue reading In Honor of Columbus
