Alone
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 [...]
Ahh, sweet victory…
Oh, Charlie Sheen hype. It has been a constant source of entertainment and ridiculousness for my little brother and me over the past few months. Like, honestly, I don’t think I’ve gone a day without saying “win” or “winning” in a very long time. (So I’m a nerd. Whatever. Lol) But seriously, dude, I love [...]
That certain thing called…
…the boyfriend! (Note: if you can tell me where that song comes from, you will go down in my Book of Awesome People until the end of time. Family members don’t count because a) you’re already in the Book and b) that’s kind of cheating because…well, it just is. Just sayin’.) See, I’ve been pondering [...]
Power in Numbers
This morning, as I was dragging myself out of bed and onto my knees to pray, I was trying to figure out what I could do not to run alone this morning. I was already too late to head to the track where I often run in inclement weather, and since the latest storm had [...]
I Am an Empowered Woman

June Cleaver would roll over in her grave…
So there was this event at school recently where all the students on campus and all the faculty and staff were invited. At this event, we get all dressed up and go to this fancy venue, and they serve really nice dinner and there’s live entertainment and dancing and everything. There was no part of [...]
Life is Like a Bag of Chocolates…
As part of the holiday season, we have a tradition in our family to make various treats and share them with family and friends. We would usually spend the better part of an afternoon working on rolling, dipping, and drizzling various peanut butter, pretzel, and coconut confections. This year, we have carried on that tradition, only [...]
What About Now?
So–what about now? Do you ever spend a few moments in self-evaluation? Where are you now? Are you where you want to be? If you are, congratulations!!!! If not, what can you do to empower yourself to be where you want to be? I have been thinking a bunch about inter-generational connections lately. We are [...]
Back to School Brunch
For the last two years, several friends of mine (who I would lovingly call my “sisters”) have joined me for a back to school tradition–Back to School Brunch. Many of them bring a breakfast or brunch food to share, and we all enjoy talking about our mornings taking our kiddos to school. We offer support [...]
Toothbrush or Pressure Washer?
A number of weeks ago, my husband decided to pressure wash our driveway. We tried a few different attachments to it until we found one that worked fairly quickly and covered a good amount of space. As I watched him quickly erase the grime on the driveway, I wondered if it would work in our [...]
