Great Books: The God Box
One of the many things I always said before I had children was that when I had my own kids, I wanted them to be avid readers just as I had been. Books were my savior as a curious, overly-chatty and probably annoying child and as an awkward and often-sullen adolescent. My mother experienced a [...]
Three Things Thursday: Embracing Your Dark Side
It’s always interesting to me when people complain about someone being a “bitch” or a “bastard”. The words are often spit out with such venom – as if it was the worst thing in the world anybody could be. Personally, I’d much rather deal with an honest bitch with an attitude than a “nice” person [...]
Changing Gears…Again
Well…things are most certainly changing around here. It may be apparent from the page tabs, but if not, a quick look at my updated “About” page, will bring you quickly up to speed. No, it’s not the first time that there’s been a change of direction on this blog (in fact, I’ve lost count of [...]

What Was I Talking About? Oh, Right. Work at Home Distractions
I’m on a writing deadline. I need to have a series of three 500-word articles by Friday. It’s Wednesday and have I written a single word yet?

This is a great exercise, especially for new bloggers, to get into the habit of updating your blog everyday but without the stress of worrying over what to write [...]
When Less is More
Well, I’ve procrastinated long enough with writing this post. The reason for the feet-dragging is that I now have more than one space in the blogosphere to call home. This blog has been such a joy for me to create and I’ve met such wonderful, smart, funny and amazing bloggers in the year since I [...]
Meditation is Where YOU Find It
I spent years trying to learn how to meditate. I obsessed over doing it “right” and yearned for that holy grail of transcendence. Yes, I thought that might include levitating in the very spot where I was sitting cross-legged in deep concentration. I followed gurus. I followed people I met who seemed highly spiritual to [...]
What is Trust?
I remember, as a teenager, I thought I knew everything (didn’t we all). Unfortunately, my youthful arrogance carried over into young adulthood and a bit beyond, which I’m sure many of you over 35-ers can also relate to on some level. The funny thing is, that it wasn’t until recently when I was having a [...]
Three Things Thursday: Being in Joy
Yes, life is busy. Yes, I’m tired most of the time. Yes, I sometimes wish I could do whatever I wanted to do whenever I wanted to do it. Yes, there are times when my patience is worn waaaay past thin. These things aren’t new to any mother, father or caregiver. Or any other people [...]
