As I was creating a post for today, the only thing glaring out was a recent interaction I had with my mother and the lesson I learned. It’s bothering me, and I can’t stop thinking about it. So, I’m sharing. I made banana maple muffins yesterday. They are the bomb of muffins – delicious and […]
My husband and I went to see a friend’s band play live on an outdoor deck at a bar/restaurant. Before we got there, rain had hit hard, and all the tables not under a roof got soaked. We found two dry seats in an upstairs area that was partially covered. We couldn’t hear the band […]
I thought I’d mix it up today and do something different. We all deserve a miracle every day. Here are ten miraculous ideas that can change your life. = One = Think better thoughts.

So, if we’ve been working on ourselves and questioning how we feel, I’m sure anger has reared its head. Letting ourselves feel the pain sucks, but we have to do it to get through to the other side (where we feel good.) Just like exercise DVDs, after the hard stuff, comes the cool-down time. I […]

As of late, I’ve been monitoring what I do with my time. There have been days when it was a blur, and I had all these things to do but found myself doing other things that, while they were necessary (like household stuff), weren’t urgent at the time. Years ago, I learned about the Eisenhower […]
My mother makes this incredible cream for her banana cream pie. It is decadent and loaded with calories and fat—the yummy kind of dessert. I made it for Mother’s Day this year. While beating the homemade whipped cream, I had to taste it, you know, for quality control. It was delicious. Didn’t think about the […]
Today, Mother’s Day, got me thinking about what to write. I know I’m grateful for being a mother and don’t take it for granted like I used to. Life and goals had me bumping around an imaginary pinball machine for years. I made mistakes as a mother. My time was too fragmented to focus one […]
