What Do You Crave? Part 1

So, be honest, what do you crave the most? Is it a particular food or drink?  Is it something more vague like sugar or salt?  Is it a family of foods or just an “anything goes” kind of craving? I’m totally a chocolate person.  Chocolate is my go-to stress reliever. I’ve got other craving favs but I…

Dr. Seuss Made Me Do It- A Lesson In Honesty

I blame it on Dr. Seuss. Well, Dr. Seuss and the half eaten jar of Nutella sitting next to my computer. (I’m lying, it’s more like 3/4 eaten.) Why am I blaming Dr. Seuss?  Because it was his birthday on March 2nd and I saw this quote of his that has been going crazy in…

So You’re Stuck On A Desert Island…

So you’re stuck on a desert island… Sound like a bad movie? Or a tv show you might have seen before? Maybe, you think. But I’m going to put a different spin on it. We get some wacky weather sometimes.  Really, if you think about it, weather has become an obsession for some people. Face…

The Real Fear Factor, Yours

Fear is a really funny thing. It’s everywhere. We all try to ignore it because we know that if we don’t, we’ll get caught up in the whole fear mentality and it’s incredibly hard to get out of it. Well I just went face to face with one of my fears. I’m still standing but…

Book Review: “A Whole New Mind- Why Right-Brainers Will Rule The Future”

I am a voracious reader.  I love books and have loved them ever since I was little.  One of my favorite memories of my local library- other than getting my very 1st library card (I still have it btw)- was a reading contest held one summer. There was a jungle theme as well as fuzzy…

Why I’m Giving Up Bullsh*t for Lent & Why You Should Too

This is my first post that I’ve written on my blackberry so forgive me if the formatting, spelling & layout is all over the place. I’ll pretty it up later : ) Why am I writing blog entries on my blackberry? Simple. Because getting to a computer & actually sitting down & writing what’s on…

Self-Care and Self-Love, Not Just for Valentine’s Day Anymore

It doesn’t take a holiday devoted to love to make you think about love. How do you love yourself? How do you love your significant other- that is, if you have one? If you don’t have one, you may start thinking about love in a different sense. Why don’t I have it? Why shouldn’t I…

Not Everything Is Guaranteed

Wow!  What a thought! Today’s message is short & sweet. I posted something to my personal blog that I’d love you to take a look at. Over the last few weeks with everything that’s been going on in our world, I’m amazed about how we still treat each other. I was going to title this…

Go Un-Plug Yourself…‏

At first glance, this could seem a little inappropriate, but I promise, it’s not! I’ll admit that I’m coming off a mini-vacation that I, in a way, forced upon myself after running an insane amount in 2 days. But what that time away did was give me a chance to look at what I’ve been…

A Goofy Retrospective of 2009

Believe it or not, but I’ve put off writing this for over a week. No big reason why, no huge, daunting challenge BUT I figured “retrospective” spoke more to the very end of the year rather than the end of the year, but still needing to squeeze in just one more week. When I look…
