Night Owls Vs. Early Birds (Part 1)
I’ve always thought of myself as a night owl. I naturally tend toward being awake later at night, when things are quiet and there isn’t much to do as far as errands, social events, etc., and I can just do my own thing. But then I started working night shift after graduating from nursing school.…

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…

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…

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 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.…

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…

New year, new goals, but where to start?
At the beginning. That’s the only place we can start. Maybe this year, you want to pay off debt (like me!), run a 5K, or start walking a little bit every day. In my experience, one of the biggest things that gets between me and any goal I have, big or little, is my thinking.…
