This weekend my husband and I had a great time building a new fire pit in the backyard. This involved shoveling shells. Now, you may not think of shells as something to shovel.

Being a kindergarten teacher for over twenty years, glitter has been a huge part of my life. Show a kindergarten child how to make a thin line with Elmer’s glue, sprinkle some glitter on it, shake of the excess and voila! you’ve transformed plain pencil lines into a thing of beauty, translates as: squirt half . . . → Read More: What I Didn’t Know About Glitter Working through the resistance was definitely the story of tonight’s Bikram yoga class. Once again it was my beloved teacher, Alex, who always utters just the right words at just the right time. There is always a very good chance of some resistance clogging up my practice. Tonight it was the heat, but if wasn’t . . . → Read More: Working Through The Resistance “What have you done for YOURSELF this year to create a better life?” – Jack Canfield …was the question of the day.

Just about three years ago, when my mom died, I was asked to deal. You know – called to the carpet to face a huge thing cracking your life apart. Only I didn’t. I didn’t deal with it. I hid the hugeness of it from myself. I went through the motions and did what needed . . . → Read More: Asked To Deal I love that Allstate insurance commercial where the little girl says, “The oceans are full of sharks, but we all still swim, lots of people get struck by lightening, but we still play in the rain. A lot of bad things happen, but we all still do…good.” We could keep adding to the list. Many . . . → Read More: Good On the way home tonight I heard a commercial on the radio and it was talking about “do something days”. You know, like Clean Out The Fridge Day” or “Take Your Cat To Work Day”? Then it complained that every day was a “do something day”. Negotiating the Bourne Rotary, I thought what’s wrong . . . → Read More: Do Something Day Today was a drizzly start to the Memorial Day weekend. 47 degrees with a cold mist spitting from the gray clouds. And we had Red Sox tickets. Normally I would be hesitant to do this in that kind of weather, but we had clubhouse seats so I knew I wouldn’t have to brave the cold . . . → Read More: Drizzle |
