Every Moment of You
“My growing up makes you sad, doesn’t it?” she asked. “Why do you think that’s true?”

The Importance of Talking about Reading
OK, so it’s Tuesday. Lately, I’ve been running something book-related for you on Tuesdays. It’s kind of like library day. Maybe we have a guest post from an author, maybe a Q&A session, maybe a book review… But today I’m afraid I have nothing new to report. I’m still reading several books (yes, I do that)…

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. Appointments, classes, homework, meetings, events…plus regular school and work hours. The line moved forward and I reviewed my menu plan…

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…

A Mustache on Monday
I believe in full disclosure. Translation: I was delighted to fall on the number in the TToT link-up Sarah designated as one to answer these questions because neither of the other two posts I’ve been working on are ready to go this morning. I don’t know about you, but I’m feeling seriously behind the eight ball this…

TToT – The One Hundredth!
It’s party time, kids! This week we are celebrating the ONE HUNDREDTH Ten Things of Thankful link-up! Ten items every week…one hundred weeks…ten lovely co-hosts…plus everyone else who links each week? That’s a lot of thankful! I have been part of the TToT since almost the beginning – I pipped into the link-up at number…

TToT – The Blooming
I finally have pictures of our trees. The dearth of visual evidence of spring here hasn’t been for lack of trying. Well, OK, it has been for a little lack of trying. I can’t say I always remember to take my phone or camera with me when I take my walks, but I’m choosing to call…

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…
