One From the Archives – Every Day Love
This post originally ran on the blog on February 15, 2014. It’s worth saying again. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I’ve been thinking a lot about love the last couple of days. For starters, there’s that rather large and obvious thing called Valentine’s Day that has just passed us by. Kinda can’t miss that. Love it or hate it,…

A Better Way to Think About Valentine’s Day
Valentine’s Day is pretty stupid. But even so, I still kind of love Valentine’s Day. We don’t do a huge hearts and flowers and romantic Valentine’s dinner thing here. Are you kidding? We don’t do that ever. The Hub and I are two of those people who think the whole once-a-year-over-romanticized-retail-driven-frenzy of Valentine’s day is nonsense.…

Why I Can’t Tell You My #1000Speak Topic
I have so many things to say about compassion. And yet I can’t speak. I am stunned at the response to the 1000 Voices Speak for Compassion initiative and am so excited to be a part of it. And yet, since we launched the effort about a month ago I haven’t had much to say…

Once Upon a Year or Two Ago
Sometimes it’s nice to take a look at where we’ve been. Every now and then I take a look through photo albums, old letters, piles of filing in my office that need to be handled…but I haven’t done much backward observation here on my blog. Today’s as good a day as any, so come along…

Soup of the Week – Spiced Cauliflower and Sudden Growth
I am alone today. I was alone yesterday, too. Kidzilla is in school for the second day in a row with no snow day or delayed start. The Hub’s ankle is feeling better and he went back to work yesterday. I and the Rotten Cats are quietly and peacefully doing our thing. I miss them,…

Awards Time – AKA Potentially Useless But Interesting Information About Me
My Mother always told me that if someone offers you a gift or a compliment, it’s just good manners to accept it. So that’s what I’m doing here today. Miss Lizzi of Considerings offered me both a giftie and a compliment all at the same time by tagging me in this Sisterhood of the World…

Ramblings from a Dry Day
Words, words everywhere and not a one to post. I have been writing my little fingers off lately. Truly. The lack of posts here tells a different tale. Granted, I did admit the other day that much of the writing has been going elsewhere, off the blog. But still. I don’t like when this space…

Pardon Me, My 70s Are Showing
Anybody remember this song? Actually, you’ll probably remember the Coca-Cola commercial version better. It was a great commercial. But whichever version you recall, this is a pretty nice sentiment, if you think about it. A pretty darn nice sentiment. But what if that sentiment became action? What would happen? On February 20, 2015, United…

TToT – The One in Which I Tell You All of the Things
The Internet swallowed me. It seriously did. I hopped on the social media bandwagon and then…overwhelm. So many people – so many good people – to meet. And so many really amazing things to read. I couldn’t keep up. So I buried my head in the sand, stepped back, and said “whoa.” I am truly…

TToT – Out There
It’s been a week. So many things going on here I can’t even sort them out quite right. But it’s good. It’s a good kind of whirlwind to be caught up in. Let’s get to it because I still have about fifteen things to finish tonight. First, I have to be pretty happy about the…
