Alistar & Octavia Finally Come to Life!

In the summer of 2013 I was sitting in a picture book writing class at the Cape Cod Writers Center annual conference.

Day 1 & 2 – Not So Bad!

Monday was Day 2 of my 21 Day Fat Burn Booster. Tuesday was rest day. I kind of liked not having to leave the house until 9:15. Maybe this is a hidden reward for doing the program.

Day 1: I had to do the first cardio treadmill program and I was a bit nervous. (I . . . → Read More: Day 1 & 2 – Not So Bad!

Tomorrow

After months of planning, my first born’s wedding is tomorrow. You spend their life celebrating all the “firsts”. First day of school, first T ball game, first lost tooth, graduations from pre-school through college,etc. With each milestone you marvel at how their level of independence mushrooms.

They would then pull their blindfolds down over their eyes. Their hands immediately became still as they listened . . . → Read More: Without A Vision

I Moved It!

By “it” I mean my enhanced body mass index on the fit check machine at Koko. A bunch of members have been coming to me about seeing no change in their e-BMI. I listened to all of them, collected their comments, and commiserated with them, because I couldn’t make my e-BMI change either. In the . . . → Read More: I Moved It!
