Now What?
I’ve reached the end of the rope. I need some advice. Now what? Where do YOU go when you can’t stand where you’re at any longer? What do YOU read to get going – to keep going after that dream? What do YOU do to get it together and get over yourself? picture by emdot…
Stop The Silence
I’m asked to support a lot of causes. That’s what happens when you participate in your community. Some causes are good ones. Other’s don’t really interest me. Today I was asked by Sarah Robinson to support the 12 for 12k Stop The Silence Cause. I said yes. I know Sarah from my twitter friends. She…
Fountain of Life
I went to a chiropractric physician today. I met her at the HyVee. She was at the HyVee yesterday with this machine. It was a laptop with electrodes that measured the energy in your spinal column. She tested my c3, c5 and c7 vertabrae – and found they were out of whack (which I happen…

Comfort Zones
I have a cat that sits in the bathtub. Stutzbearcat likes the bathtub. Can’t find him? He’s in the tub. No water – just chillin’ out in the bathtub. That’s his comfort zone. When he was a baby, he’d come into the bathroom and my husband, the bathtub guy,would rub him. Now Stutz waits for…
Friday Odds and Ends
World Nutella Day was yesterday. I first had Nutella in Athens Greece – went to a place that made crepes. That’s it – just crepes. Nutella is a combination of chocolate and hazelnut – put in a spread. You’ve got to try it. You can find it by the peanut butter in the grocery store.…
