FTSF – After a Hard Day’s Work
After a hard day’s work, there is more. Years of days have been spent at work… challenging, demanding, rewarding, exhausting, physical and emotional. After a hard day’s work, there is more. Years of after works are spent at another job more education, seminars, workshops, meetings, workouts, the things required to sustain or progress. After a…

TToT – Simple Practicality
There is nothing quite so satisfying as practical wisdom. While I suppose it’s presumptuous to call myself “wise,” I can at least admit honestly that I found several occasions this week that called for some practical application of knowledge and somehow I got it right! And in the spirit of being practical, I need to…

FTSF – Success Begins in the Grocery Store Checkout Line
Last week, we became those people. I had my first inkling in line at the grocery store. As I waited for my turn, I thought about all the things we had going on that week.

1000 Speak – Reconciliation of the Self
“I suppose no man can violate his own nature.” I would love to tell you those words are mine. I would love to tell you they fell from my consciousness onto the page and I breathed the wisdom of a lifetime into them. I didn’t. They belong to the only mind they can, Ralph Waldo…

FTSF – When We No Longer Love
I used to love the classroom. When I was a little girl, I loved school. I loved everything about it. The swirls of leaves falling outside as we walked through the door in September. The pencils, the crayons, the phonics books. I loved my Charlie Brown and Snoopy lunch box and the way lunch time…

TToT – Another Busy Weekend
There’s more than one way to skin a cat. Last weekend I struggled to find time to write my TToT in between all the things. And no, of course I didn’t write it before things got busy. That would have been much too logical. I finally ended up slipping in at the end of the…

Finding the Funny at Vikki Claflin’s Laugh Lines
I have finally figured out how to be in two places at one time. Sort of. A while ago I submitted a funny story to Vikki Claflin for her “Finding the Funny” serious over at her place, the hilariously accurate Laugh Lines. This afternoon, for the first time in like a week, I scrolled through…

How to Live with Special Dietary Needs
I’m a travelling expert today. What do you do when your child has a food allergy or sensitivity? When they react adversely to food ingredients? You figure out how to avoid them. And doing that is actually pretty simple. Our Zilla can not consume artificial food dyes. Well, she can, but the results are not…

The Road to Starrdom – An Interview with Starr Bryson
Today I’m turning over my space to a new friend many of you already know – Starr Bryson. I met Starr recently through a pretty terrific bloggers group and the next thing I knew, I was helping out with blog tours for indie authors and loving every minute of it. As most of you know,…
