The other day, my husband and I were discussing the weather forecast for that day. I mentioned it was supposed to rain in the morning but stop by the afternoon. He disagreed, stating it was supposed to rain all day. I had my weather app on my phone to back me up, and he hadContinue reading “Weather App”

Chatter Box
If you’ve ever spent time with a toddler, you know they often tend to talk incessantly. After a while of listening, you might wish they would just stop talking. There is another little voice that can sometimes talk too much, and all you want it to do is be quiet. I’m referring to the oneContinue reading “Chatter Box”
Energy Bills
I wondered recently, what would happen if we were able to monetize our personal energy? Think about this with me for a minute. If our energy were converted into cold hard cash, how would we spend it? Or save it? Let’s say each morning we are given a hundred dollars in denominations of five, soContinue reading “Energy Bills”
Junk Drawer
Does your home have a junk drawer? It’s often located in the kitchen, and it’s a space that ends up cluttered with odds and ends that might not have a designated spot, and often random things get thrown in. Items like rubber bands and paper clips, restaurant take out menus, scotch tape, pens and pencils,Continue reading “Junk Drawer”
Permission Granted
The other day, I was getting ready to tell my husband something I had done, and I prefaced it with “now don’t get mad at me.” After I told him what it was, I changed my mind and said “actually, it’s okay if you are angry.” He did say what I had done wasn’t aContinue reading “Permission Granted”
Weeds and Wildflowers

Weeding is a task that must be repeated regularly in order to keep them from overtaking the whole garden and choking out the more desirable plants. And where do the weeds comeContinue reading “Weeds and Wildflowers”
Awesomeology
Yes, that is a word. It is the study of things that are awesome. Learning of this word led me to do a little research. In 2008 Author Neil Pasricha started a blog titled 1000 Awesome Things. His goal was to each day write about something that made him happy. He didn’t start this becauseContinue reading “Awesomeology”
Good News
I would like to share one of my favorite quotes, this is by Marvin J. Ashton. “Be the one who nurtures and builds. Be the one who has an understanding and a forgiving heart, one who looks for the best in people. Leave people better than you found them.” I love that last part. Unfortunately,Continue reading “Good News”
Discovering a New Chapter
Last week my post was about perspective, and how when we look at something or someone with a different lens, we often learn something new, and perhaps even remove the hat of judgement. I’m going to share a personal example, taken from a chapter in my mother’s life. I grew up knowing my mother’s parentsContinue reading “Discovering a New Chapter”
Perspective
If you’ve ever seen the movie National Treasure, you might remember the glasses in the movie. Ben, the main character, finds a pair of old spectacles that are designed to help him read a map to find the treasure. There are multiple lenses and they are very unique. When he first uses them, the glasses doContinue reading “Perspective”
