THERE IS A GREEN GOD AFTER ALL
So yesterday, the natural lawn people came to my house to spray my yard for dandelions and other weeds with a bio-engineered product that is carcinogen-free. I couldn't help but laugh when my neighbor, Brad Pitt's girlfriend, ran up to the guy and wanted to know more. He went to his truck and...

MY HEART IS ON FIRE
It's so sad for me to hear about the fires in Daytona and Velusia county. I feel my heart has always been down in Florida for I have been to the Atlantic side where these fires are brewing, so many times in the past. "The brushfire that erupted Sunday near LPGA Boulevard west of Interstate 95...

THREE YEARS AGO TODAY, MY LIFE WAS CHANGED FOREVER
Today marks three years since my mom's death. It's still fresh. It's still tough. It's still lonely without her. Yes, every day I still want to pick up the phone and call her. I still dream about her; the memories live on. In so many things I do, mom is on my mind and in my heart. This is especially...

THE IGNORANT GARDENER
Unlike my mom who knew flowers and plants so well, I'm one of those people who gardens "intuitively." That is to say, if I like what it looks like, I buy it and plant it, hoping I planted it in the right spot. I don't know why some plants want full sun and others prefer shade. What's with that? lol...

WHEN IT'S A PERFECT FIT!
As I answer freelance writing ads, sometimes I want to tell the editors or business owners just what a perfect fit their particular job is to my interest and skills. Instead of telling them, I try to show them by providing writing samples and a list of related experience to make them see it for...

HOW LONG SHOULD YOU WAIT BEFORE CALLING THE AUTHORITIES ON MISSING PERSON?
When someone doesn't show up for an appointment, most of us conclude they forgot. If that same person doesn't show up for work, and haven't called, then what should our conclusion be? A lady I work with, that I'm close to, wasn't at work this morning. She didn't call in and her coworkers got...

I DREAMED AN ANCIENT CHINESE TEMPLE/CITY WAS RISING OUT OF THE OCEAN
Dreams are interesting, aren't they? This morning, before the cats woke me up, I saw an ancient temple or Chinese city rising out of the water. It was all in gold and in tact. I was seeing it as if it was in a glossy book and underneath was the description. My cats woke me up before I could finish...

WHAT'S ON YOUR MENU?
I got a call from one of my associates yesterday who informed me he has a project he needs help on. Apparently, one of his clients, a Mexican restaurant, needs a new menu. He wants me to design it. It's only a 2-sided, 8 1/2" by 11" menu. I welcome these sorts of projects. This one will be a quick...

TRYING FOR MEANING
I really think that deep inside us all is a desire for greater meaning and involvement. For me, that means finding beauty and "realness" in life. It means connecting with things, people, issues, events and work that bring meaning to my life. I'm the kind of person who has to enjoy what I do or I'm...

OFFICE IN AN UPROAR OVER INTRUDER
This morning I walked into the office and the lady on the other side of my cubicle commented, "Oh, you're wearing open-toed sandals today." A strange comment indeed. Then she explained that there's a mouse running around and it was last spotted under her desk. LOL My toes began to grip my shoes as I...
