Zen Moment – Personal Masseuse
Personal Masseuse? Me, um… No, probably not. I was in shock for the second time in my life, I was scheduled for a massage. My shoulder ached from recent battle with a deer. No real injury other than a response to the tense moment as I watched my daughter steer her vehicle between two deer, [...]
Impress – Come Out on Top Every Time
Achieve your goals and impress the world with your wonder – by simply being yourself. There’s no greater person whom you can be, so “go there” be you! 1 — Tell someone about yourself. When asked, be sure you have something fun and exciting to tell. If it’s a bit embarrassing, blush a pretty pink [...]
Beating the Baby – a Writer Dilemma
I’m a member of a local writer group. We tend to have serious critique sessions about once a month, sometimes those are online, since I’ve moved out of the area. But, always tight, deep and intense. This past week, we gathered and I noticed one of the group was holding back when she’d say something [...]

There are just some companies that NEED to stay in business… This is one. Ann Zuccardy runs a tights ship… er kitchen… over in Vermont. She’s pulled together a recipe for good wholesome yumminess that will keep you coming back for more – and she’s BACK. Her shortbread is seriously delicious – DECADENT – and [...]
Perspective – Church Mouse Conservative
The day started out, much like any other, with a sunrise, coffee, a bagel, and me shipping out the emails my son asked me to send. A portion of his current mission experience is learning to ask others to help you, not something he’s particularly good at. Together with his brother, they created a letter [...]
Herb Gardening Along the Santa Fe Trail
There are days when you just know you’re going to find exactly what you need along the Santa Fe Trail. Yesterday was one of those days. Besides the fact that my four super-star children learned one more lesson along the way to growing up (sometimes they learn faster than other times), the morning held a [...]
Abandonment – Perspective & Views of a Parent-Child
Throughout a life there are many forms of abandonment one must face, often through no fault of the person who jumps ship. When a relative dies, the abandonment feelings are borne of grief, loss, and the torturous emotions that settle in with a lack of understanding and comprehension. This kind of abandonment has little to [...]
Tolerance – HELL NO!!! Not Tolerant Anymore.
Tonight, I noticed a news broadcast where children were told to leave school because they refused to turn the American Flag wrong side out on their T-shirts, in “honor” of Cinco De Mayo? SAY WHAT? READ HERE Who the heck cares about Cinco De Mayo in the USA? Not saying I have any objection to [...]
The Best Blessings of Life are Given
“The universe pays you back in kind, so when you give of your time, you get a lot of time. If you give of your money, you get a lot of money. If you give of your compassion, you get a lot of compassion. If you give of your heart and soul, you get a [...]
Outcome Based Actions for Successful Living
You’ve been there. Down in the dumps, buried under the stress of living that just isn’t going the way you want it to go, and worrying about the problems of life that beset you and knowing that you couldn’t wiggle your way out from under those problems if you had to. But, you don’t have [...]
