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…

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.…

Can You Be a Cat and Dog Person?
Do you think you can be both? It’s like saying you love the beach and the mountains, which also describes me to a tee. My favorite animals are cats and dogs. I love cats because of their personalities. They are soft. The ones that I’ve had over the years love sitting on you or next…

Mission Possible
What is your mission Over the years, like many people, my mission has changed. When I was young, I wanted to get a good job, make money, have fun. Then life took a different turn. I had kids. Became a stay-at-home mom. Got involved in support groups for moms, homeschoolers, and teaching/learning. I had the…
