I’ve been married to DH for almost seven wonderful years. We’ve had many great adventures, many small triumphs and a few tragedies. He’s everything I ever wanted. But this Valentine’s Day, I’m spending the evening with an old love.
I didn’t plan the timing of our reunion - that was purely chance. But [...]

Welcome to February, THE MONTH OF LOVE.
It seems every year this time I write about love; how to find it, maintain it or salvage it in relationships.
In The Heart of Love by Dr. John F. DeMartini, he shares that every couple is together because of one of the following. They are:
• United in love
• Together our of [...]

For me, a time of reflection usually leads to some writing. There is so much information flowing. So much sensory input to absorb. It takes time to put it together, make some sense of it.
The reflection time can come in the shower. Literally cleaning up for the day. Some how that provides a good [...]

Well January is already almost gone and I can hardly believe it. If you’re like me you spend a bit of time at the beginning of the year reflecting on the past. What did I accomplish last year? How did I improve my life and the lives of those I met? Where [...]

If you’ve ever wanted to be published, here is your chance.
Drew McLellan and Gavin Heaton are amassing authors to collaborate on a marketing-business book to be published later this year.  The actual topic is up for a vote now.  You don’t have to volunteer to participate.  You can cast your vote on a topic without [...]

As a child I always had pets around the house.  So naturally, when I had my own life, I had more pets.  Currenly my wife and I have two dogs (which are our only “kids”).  Every day when my dogs wake up, they are excited that the sun has come up. The are wide awake, [...]

I’m bound and determined to make 2008 the year I really jump into 100 bloggers. I truly love the overall feeling of this group, the topics shared and ability to rub shoulders with other fantastic bloggers.
My first post wasn’t written for the topic of reflection, but I think it fits well enough to share. [...]

This month’s topic of “reflection” directed me in two ways: first, to focus on the close-up, and conduct an audit of the present and recent past. The other was to look past my reflection and see where I’ve been in the more distant past.
Objects in the mirror turned out to be closer [...]

For the month of December, our theme is the most amazing gift you ever gave or received.
How often do we consider the gift of seasons?
It happens annually, without fail. Season’s transform!
It begins with spring the drama queen, with dozens of flowers unique to spring.
New life abounds.

Summer, brings heat, sending us in search of water, with [...]

I love it when a plan comes together…the December topic for 100 Bloggers is “the most amazing gift you ever gave or received.” And Wordfeeder’s “Tis the Season to be Bloggy” tip for today is to pay homage to those who have inspired or taught you. There’s one person who taught me the [...]

Back in 1996 our Christmas budget for gift-giving shrank. I was in the midst of career change. With my new career training costs, I was bringing home debt instead of a salary for awhile.
My husband and I decided to spend what was available in our budget on our children, who [...]

For giving, and receiving.
So this year, let’s share the most amazing gift
You’ve ever given
Or received.
Share your wow!
