Thought Tuesday

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

Wrapping up August in fresh veggies

It is great to live in a beautiful place where many things grow.  This week we enjoyed fresh plums, peaches, watermelon, cantaloupe, cucumbers, tomatoes, corn, zucchini, yellow summer squash, onions, green beans, raspberries and strawberries.  I didn't really make "recipes" for meals.  Some meals were just 1/2 a cantaloupe and a spoon.  🙂  Other meals… Continue reading Wrapping up August in fresh veggies

Do You Hear the Crickets Sing?

There is a time in every single one of our lives when we all realized we have learned to hear the crickets. Crickets are messengers.  Near my home, crickets are a signal that summer is ending soon, that fall is approaching.  Their cheerful little chirps add to magical late summer evenings. (I read that their… Continue reading Do You Hear the Crickets Sing?

Get Moving With Fitbit

When I first started this whole "fitness" and "healthy" living kick this past spring, I was not interested in exercise one bit.  Everything hurt to move.  Why would I want to increase movement?  Why would I want to sign up to be shamed for my lack of mobility? My husband had a Fitbit.  My son… Continue reading Get Moving With Fitbit

Family Friday

Amazing Little People are Getting Big

Today for Family Friday I have to celebrate two little people that always make me smile. Tomorrow this handsome little guy will turn 1 year old! A year ago this weekend, I drove away from Beckett's house, leaving his proud, yet exhausted parents and his older sister behind to love and care for him.  I… Continue reading Amazing Little People are Getting Big

An Actor’s Rules to Enlighten and Inspire

School starts next week.  I am not convinced the kids at school are ready for the start of a new year.  We are now in week 2 for our fall production of Addams Family the Musical at school and I am noticing that some of the students are not as enthusiastic as I would hope… Continue reading An Actor’s Rules to Enlighten and Inspire

Warrior Wednesday

Warrior Mom

Today's Warrior Wednesday is dedicated to my friend Callie, and all other women who brave the birthing process that brings life all of God's sons and daughters on this earth. I woke up this morning to see a Facebook post that Callie had her baby with the help of her family and the paramedics at… Continue reading Warrior Mom

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

Yummy Things at My house

Oh the bounty of veggies that are in my valley at this time of year!  It's great!  We eat like royalty... vegetarian royal family.  Teehee. Today I am not going to give a play by play of what I ate.  Breakfast was usually a fruit and greens smoothie or sauted veggies of some sort.  I… Continue reading Yummy Things at My house

Another Testament of Jesus Christ

Today I finished reading "The Book of Mormon: Another Testament of Jesus Christ".  This is not the first time I have read this book.  However, this is the first time I have read it in 65 days - the time it took Joseph Smith to translate the gold plates. I usually read the Book of… Continue reading Another Testament of Jesus Christ
