Well, I was having this issue with a person in my life–kind of an acquaintance, I guess. I would encounter said person on various days during my morning routine of exercise, and I would feel uncomfortable when said person would look at or watch me. Last week, as I was looking for music to download for [...]
Since my blogs lately have had one-word titles (c.f. Participate! & COOK!!!!), I thought I would keep with the program today…! Have you ever been alone? What were you feeling during this experience? Were you feeling pleasant, happy, empowered? Were you nervous, afraid, apprehensive, scared? Were you anxious to be around others again, to share [...]
Well, following Marta’s blog, I thought I must need to include a post which I was throwing around in my mind…regarding what? WINNING. Now, I’m not talking about these epic wins or epic fails we speak of in colloquialism. I’m talking about winning. Like this: Well, maybe not exactly just like that…but the song did [...]
So, I’ve been in a meal slump lately. I know that my life runs better when I cook, and I know that menu planning and shopping are a big part of making sure that cooking happens for me, yet (sadly) I haven’t been committed to action lately. Well, I got a cookbook from a friend [...]
A few months ago, I was training for a half-marathon. But, let me back up a little bit. Back in January, I had a chat with a friend of mine, who was training for a half-marathon (so you may not want to chat with too many runners, because they can be very persuasive…). In said [...]

As I was driving to and fro last week, I noticed a girls’ soccer team practicing. I didn’t think too much about it, just noting their dedication, work, and of course remembering all my friends who have played soccer over the years. I drove merrily along my way. Then, I passed the field of young [...]
I have this theory…would you like to hear it? Here goes: “Everything always works out for the best.” That statement may sound pretty simplistic, but I have come to find that it is really true. I used to spend minutes, hours, days, weeks, months, and even years dwelling on “what if…?” disaster scenarios. (By the [...]
As I puzzled between the dichotomy of a real princess coming to grips with her “reality” and grounding our children in the fact that royalty does not equal reality, I had some thoughts….
So–the subject of family (or, for the purpose of this post–the experience of living tribes) has occupied my thoughts lately. Each of us is born into some type of family, though not all will reside with mother and father and siblings through childhood. Then, whatever our home life experience, we have opportunities to build a [...]
