God is love. So when we love, we are actually bringing God’s spirit into the physical world through ourselves. We become the nexus where the physical and the divine meet and communicate. That means each of us has the potential to be a portal between worlds. So never think that any loving action, thought or intention is unimportant. No matter how small, these are the things which … Continue reading A Cool Thought
A life well spent isn’t measured by what you achieve, but by who you become. -me Continue reading My quote for the day . . .
I have been reminded of this scene from Lord of the Rings frequently as of late, so I looked it up and I must admit, it cracked me up: AHAHAHAHAH! Way to rally the troops, Denethor! Thank heaven’s Gandalf (whose character represents wisdom, donchano) was there to knock the crap out of him! Panic is pretty much never a good thing, IMO. Continue reading Very Demotivational
This article about decision fatigue gives a very interesting account of how we make decisions and why making a decision can be so mentally tiring. I’m glad to see it because the one thing that my kids do which is more likely to make me blow a gasket than anything else is ask questions from morning to night: “Can you make pancakes for breakfast?” “Can … Continue reading Why Moms Like Wine So Much!
The other day I was scolding my girls for their habit of changing their clothes multiple times a day. The laundry! Sophia replied, “if we were real princesses, we could do it.” “You’re not that kind of princess, honey,” I explained, “if you were that kind of princess, a maid would be doing the wash. Instead, the queen has to do it and she is … Continue reading The Laundry!

Lately, I have been … Continue reading I love quotes!
So a couple of weeks back, before my computer broke but after my internet got cut off, I was driving to the local Starbucks to get some work done. (It’s a shockingly great place to write, btw!) I was thinking that I really needed to redo the scans for my book because the ones I had weren’t a high enough resolution. However, money is tight … Continue reading Found Money

Or perhaps you are the difficult person. Most likely both have some truth in our individual lives. It seems like everything that could be said about dealing with difficult people has been said, but this article on the notion of “Invalidation” as a tool frequently used by difficult people is really well done, imo. I’m afraid I haven’t been blogging much because I’ve been SICK … Continue reading Anyone know a difficult person?
Today I was reading through a fairly fluffy article offering advice to parents of teens. (Because with two teens in the house and a whole lot of future teens coming down the pipeline I need all the help I can get!) In the middle of this fluffy little article, I found the best parenting advice I’ve read all year. In the for-parents-of-teens version it goes: If … Continue reading The best parenting advice I’ve heard all year!
