It's been awhile since I've written in my blog. I've written on topics that were personal and helpful to me, just by getting them off my chest; however, the writings just didn't seem important to post, at the time that I wrote them. Some have been rants, some have been political, and I try to …

Truth or Escape ~
This may appear to be a few days late, but timeliness in posting hasn't been my strength lately. If you have noticed, my last post is wishing you a Happy 4th of July... 2014! Let me get caught up.... Happy Halloween, Happy Thanksgiving, Merry Christmas or Happy Holidays, and finally... Happy New Year! There, I …
Santa’s Simple Request ~
Ever since I was a little girl, I have been enamored with Santa, or the mere thought of him. What is his secret? How does he stay so happy all of the time, even when little children are screaming to get away from him? What is his magical technique for spreading Christmas joy? My first …
Faith to Listen ~
Last year it was faith… the word that I chose to reflect upon throughout the year. When I mentioned the word faith to a friend, she stated, “Ah ~ Faith… the opposite of fear”. I love it when someone can state something so clear and simple, yet so powerful at the same time. In fact, …

It’s amazing how quickly it all fell together, literally. The best part of my eighth-grade year took place in the summer leading into it. You know, …

An Added Benefit of Dusting ~
Many of the household chores are shared by the members of my family, but the dusting-gig usually falls on my watch. Dusting is a tedious chore, but someone has to do it, right? Years ago, when Oldest and Youngest were much younger or too naive, they would graciously offer to help with the dusting and …
St. Patrick’s Day Is Near ~ Will You Need A Pint-Glass or A Plate?
Last year for St. Patrick's Day, all that I wanted to do was go to a local pub and enjoy an authentic Irish Coffee, and that I did. While sitting at the bar with HUBS, who was trying one of the many Irish stouts, we noticed a lady at the end of the bar being …
