Forget Why...instead choose what..and ..how.

Gosh it feels like f o r e v e r since I've been able to write. My travels in MN turned out better than I could have imagined. I believe it happened due to a shift in my thinking. My wise friend Michelle is a life coach. I spent two days with her before heading to my national conference. She is a... Sign in to see full entry.

Work + Play how much is enough?

I'm heading to MN for business next week. Because the company I work for is based out of MN, I have made a lot of friends in the state. I am in MN every summer for our National Conference. The event itself is five days long. Loaded with activities as well as responsibilities. It's the fun before it... Sign in to see full entry.

Happy full moon!

Hey friends, Back from the lake for a few days to catch up on house stuff and a bit of work. I'm crazy about the moon, especially wild about the moon either rising or setting on the water. Have you had the privilege to witness this lovely bit of nature yourself? If so where was your favorite... Sign in to see full entry.

August 1st! How did that happen?

Perhaps it is because it's been the coolest summer in Chicago in 70 years, that time felt like it was moving slower. Not sweating through the days, but wishing for sunshine instead of clouds seemed to be the prevalent hope this year. I don't know how those of you in the Pacific Northwest do it! It's...

I love when that happens!

My husband just changed his mind about going to the lake house. He's turning around and heading home. The kids went up this afternoon with my MIL. I'm soooo happy. He asked if I wanted to go out to a movie. Perhaps, or we can stay home. Nothing better than doing nothin' at all! Sign in to see full entry.

I love moms...

Especially moms of daughters. I am thrilled when I meet anyone who has only daughters especially if they have three or more! If their children are older than mine, I've hit the jackpot, they have wisdom, and I want it all! I am sure that the way I spent today was to the credit a person I met at a...

The difference in a reaction

Today as I sat at my desk I looked out my window as I usually do, just then I heard a scream! I jumped up to see a little girl near a bike with training wheels, she seemed fine. Then a Dad on roller blades by the little girl, also okay. The shrill was getting louder, I turned toward the noise and... Sign in to see full entry.

Mother + Daughter + Shopping = Fun

I shake my head in amazement when I reflect back to my youth. When the bulk of any shopping you did do with your mom was when she handed you the Sears catalog and told you to write a couple of "not too expensive" toys for Santa to get you. There was the occasional back to school purchase of new... Sign in to see full entry.

A mermaid or a whale

I didn't write this...but it moved me today! Recently, in a large French city, a poster featuring a young, thin and tanned woman appeared in the window of a gym. It said: THIS SUMMER DO YOU WANT TO BE A MERMAID OR A WHALE?? A middle aged woman, whose physical characteristics did not match those of... Sign in to see full entry.

When I'm a Mom...

When these words are uttered from the lips of your children, for a brief second it stops the flow of your blood. Your brain pauses, wondering if good news is coming. Your heart is ready like an elevator wondering if it's about to go up or down. Fortunately for me, my heart gets a penthouse view more... Sign in to see full entry.
