OK – So It’s My Fault I’m Unhappy, Who’s Fault Is It When I’m Happy?
Sometimes you just get in a funk, a down and dirty blue mood that just won’t give up. My personal funk has been kicking around since this spring when I had to make a difficult personal decision and have, since then, been having trouble dealing with consequences of the choice I made. Some days are...

The Office Was Broken Into… And They Stole What???
My husband called me this morning. His office was broken into last night and the thieves were quite bold. According to the police they stole three laptop computers. And ate all the chips. Yup that’s right – right in the middle of their daring crime spree they sat down in the break room and ate all...

Meditations On A Broken Heart
Yesterday I posted about what a broken might look like and why when we are so hurt in love our hearts hurt, even though they don’t actually hold our love. One of my readers commented that they have learned to manage hurt, so people have less ability to hurt them. I’ve been thinking about that a lot....

Anatomy of a Broken Heart
I wonder sometimes about the nature of the human heart. Of course we all know that the heart holds nothing but blood, that it pumps the stuff of life through our veins. But is the stuff of life really blood, or is it the love that we get and give that makes life worth living? In my twenties I was...

When Rejection Feels Good
I got a rejection letter in the mail today. It was for the children’s story contest entry that I was a finalist for. It was sent to three publishers and this is my first reply. So why did it feel good? Several reasons. It was a personal letter signed by a real person who had clearly read my work....

Blogging Done Right
Occasionally I have heard folks around the Blogit water cooler pondering the idea of starting their own blog. Of course the big question is how would you do it so that it works and people read it. Well one of the best independent blogs I have read is Wil Wheaton’s blog. Now don’t get all anti-Wesley...

Exposing My Naked Self To A Critical Eye.
When was the last time that you stood naked in front of a full length mirror and had a good hard look at yourself? For me I have to honestly say, never. Sure I’ve passed the mirror and taken a glance, or have stopped to examine a bruise or scrape on a side not easily viewed from above to see if it’s...

Why Are There So Many Freakin’ Animals In The Woods?
~~~Part 3 - Mooses and Gooses??? ~~~ The trip down from the ridge was quick. We boot skied down a scree slope. A scree slope is the slope of a mountain that is covered in small loose stones, at least a foot or two deep. If you plan your hops just right you can take giant skidding steps down the side...

Why Are There So Many Freakin’ Animals In The Woods?
~~~~Part Two, The Marmot Tale~~~~ The dawn came slowly to the valley and we over slept. So we had a quick, cold, breakfast and broke camp, then set out to get to the lake and start up the ridge. We had hiked for two hours and wound up nowhere near a lake. I studied the map, and read the guidebook,...

Why Are There So Many Freakin’ Animals In The Woods?
~~~Part one~~~~ If you’ve read me for a while you will know that in my youth I was a bit of an adventurer. (If you haven’t been reading me then you’ll just have to take my word for it). My father was a fish and wildlife officer and took me on my first camping trip when I was three. I’ve been in love...
