Someone came up to me the other day and said, “I didn’t know you were an author!” I smiled and said, “Yes, I am.” Whenever someone says something like this to me, I pause and remember I’m living my dream. This crazy, challenging, some-days-I’m-not-sure-I can-do-it career? It’s my childhood dream come true. And sometimes, I forget it all started because …
I am always losing track of the TV remotes. Remotes, as in plural. Does anyone have just one remote anymore? We have one to watch TV. One for the DVD player. One for the sound bar. And another remote for … well, I don’t really know. It may be for the standing fan, but it gets put in the TV …
A lot of people seem to like autumn. I’m basing my statement on a casual, highly non-scientific observation of social media comments. Most of them fall in the category of “I love fall” and “October is my favorite month of the year.” Maybe you’re familiar with this quote from Anne of Green Gables by L.M. Montgomery: “I’m so glad I …
We all have certain morning routines — habits we’ve fallen into. Things like: waking up at a certain time eating the same breakfast drinking coffee or tea exercising or maybe taking our dogs for a walk getting out the door and on the road at the same time What if we started off each day determining to talk less and …
My husband frequents the flower display at Costco. Most days, there are some sort of flowers displayed in a vase on my kitchen counter or breakfast nook table: lush roses or a mixed variety of blooms or the occasional exuberant collection of sunflowers. On the one hand, there’s nothing fancy about a Costco buy-them-in-bulk bouquet, right? But it’s true that …
To be honest, I tripped over the first few words of this quote by Emerson before I embraced the rest of the truth. While I agree with him that we all want to be inspired to be who we can be, I’m not so certain that’s our “chief want.” I want a lot of things. I need a lot of …
We’re told to dream big. To push harder. Aim higher. Reach for the stars. To be somebody . . . oh, sure, be you … but make certain you are this a-ma-zing, people-are-gonna-stand-up-and-notice-you version of you. Change the world. Or don’t. Or maybe it’s a matter of redefining the word “world.” There’s a great big world out there — …
It’s the first day of spring. How’s the weather in your part of the country? As I write this post Monday night, I’ve texted with a friend who lives on the east coast and who’s bracing for the fourth Nor’easter in three weeks to hit the northeast; the meteorologists named this storm “Toby.” Meanwhile, the weather forecasters here in Colorado …
Some quotes you just can’t argue with. I could leave it at that and this would be a very short blog post, wouldn’t it? Yep. Feeling a bit sassy today. Expounding on the whole “making changes” theme: People in my life can influence me so that I see the need to change. People can inspire me by the changes …
Attitude changes things, doesn’t it? From our perspective in time, most likely we don’t consider Michelangelo a “learner.” Being able to look at his works of art, to read about and marvel over his accomplishments, we call the man one of the greatest, most inspired artists of all time. Michelangelo’s willingness to keep on learning could only help him be …
