Let’s Boil an Egg-Snowstorm Style
I had no idea that there were so many ways to boil an egg, mostly based on how you want it to turn out- soft-boiled, hard-boiled, etc. But I’ve been on this hard-boiled egg kick. It’s one of the easiest grab-and-go high protein foods for me, especially at breakfast time. And I need breakfast to…

Sports
I was never a big sports person. I’m tall though, so that makes everyone wonder if I played basketball. I tried, a little. One summer my mom shipped me off to basketball camp in the Poconos. I was terrible. I wandered around, wondering which group I was supposed to be in, because I was awful…

Lottery
Have you ever heard about those studies where they say that lottery winners are miserable? Apparently it is false (see Forbes link below). I was under the impression that once people won the lottery, they probably felt really great for a month or two, and then after experiencing all of the troubles that potentially come…

Family Traditions and the Fest of the Seven Fishes
Every year, about a month before Christmas, I get a text or email, usually from my cousin (bless her for thinking ahead!) that says we have to start getting ready for Christmas Eve dinner. My mom hosts. She is Italian, and she loves to have the Feast of the Seven Fishes on Christmas Eve. So…

Don’t Bark at the Amish Horses (They Don’t Care)
My dog, when he was alive, loved to bark at the Amish buggies and horses, that would trot up and down our road multiple times every day. He was a herder. He loved to chase things that were on the move, no matter what they were. It was more than “loved to”- he was born…

Good Leaders
A good leader- Shows and doesn’t tell (they don’t have to). Leads by example. Is strong and kind. Knows what is important. Knows how to apologize. And knows when to admit that they were wrong. Good leaders inspire others to do the right thing. Last night, one of my local radio stations played some of…

Where I’ve Felt Loved
Sitting here watching the snow come down in big chunks outside and thinking about where I’ve felt loved… I always felt loved with my Uncle, no matter where we were at. Uncle Rodney was always glad to see you and it showed. He had a cool muscle car and an ever-present, slightly-guilty grin on his…

Reduction
Where can you reduce clutter in your life I’ve been thinking a lot about reducing clutter in life, and actually doing it too… there are so many types of clutter. There is the oh-so-easy-to-notice physical clutter, which many people say is a reflection of mental or emotional clutter. There can be financial clutter. Social clutter.…
