Waking Up on Hurricane Day

I opened my eyes at seven am to a tiny bit of wind outside my window and turned on the tv to get a storm update before getting out of bed. I didn’t even have my two feet on the floor yet and out went the power. “Great!”, I thought, “I don’t even have a . . . → Read More: Waking Up on Hurricane Day

Day Before the Storm

Saturday morning, August 27. The early morning today continues to be just as eerie as it was yesterday outside. All night long, still not a leaf has moved. The motionless plants and trees outside my door just hang there, ominously warning of impending something. Today will be busy with the last of the preparations. We . . . → Read More: Day Before the Storm

Eerie Day

It’s early Friday morning, 2 days before the hurricane hits. I didn’t really set much store by the old cliche “The calm before the storm”, but I believe I’m in it now. Coming downstairs at 6 am, there was an eeriness to the air that felt abnormal. No cars going up and down the main . . . → Read More: Eerie Day

Weekend Guests

Each weekend this summer has brought guests to visit. I love this because it seems once the school year starts and winter sets in, we don't get to see many people. Fourth of July brought a dear family from NY and our girls. Then next weekend my NY daughter came out. The next weekend was . . . → Read More: Weekend Guests

What Secret?

The book, The Secret, was brought up in conversation today. This book and video have been sensationalized on talk shows and the Internet. I read it, along with Lisa Love’s Beyond the Secret. The “secret” is the law of attraction; the concept being what you think about is what you’ll get. Now don’t get me . . . → Read More: What Secret?

Rocking!

Approximately 15 minutes ago I sat down in my chair to write this blog. My head felt like it was being “rocked” gently from side to side as I looked up from my phone (I write on my phone) and there in the reflection of my back door, was the window of my front door . . . → Read More: Rocking!

Today…

Today is a day for remembering those who put on a uniform and have the passion to fight for a cause. That cause is us, people they don’t even know. They don’t know each of our lots in life, but yet they are out there fighting for our right to have the lives we have . . . → Read More: Today…

Goodbye Oprah

“At times our own light goes out and is rekindled by a spark from another person. Each of us has cause to think with deep gratitude of those who have lighted the flame within us.” – Albert Schweitzer

I can’t think of a more fitting quote for Oprah’s departure. She’s been an icon in . . . → Read More: Goodbye Oprah

Cheering for Death

My television show Sunday evening was interrupted with the news of Bin-Laden’s death. I sat there stunned and just tried to take in the meaning of what I had just heard. In fact, it has taken me two days to process the contents of that news break and all the subsequent ones that followed. Nothing . . . → Read More: Cheering for Death

“Come From A Place of Love”

Today Mackenzie Phillips was on The Talk, which most of you know, is my favorite show. In 2009 her book came out. It was her story of being abused by her father. She proceeded to tell that she worked very hard to tell her story, but she left a lot out to protect her brothers . . . → Read More: “Come From A Place of Love”
