No More Masquerade
I gasped when I saw the line at the Halloween store; I was there for a magnifying glass to complete my son’s detective costume. Halloween was just days away and the store was filled with wanna-be witches, robots and zombies…and they were adults. I have no problem with adults dressing up, what I find interesting…

What do you see?
The breeze off the shores at St Simons Island was decadent as we savored the sun and the shells. The boys romped in the water with their dad while my daughter took a break from the waves to search for treasure from the sea. The shells glistened as we browsed the diverse collection the tide…

The lesson remains
And there it is again. The sign. The speed limit sign that advertises the result of meeting my minivan. Sigh. I pass it every day. I sense it mocks me as it leans at approximately a 65 degree angle; which means it is a very obvious not 90 degree angle. My coffee distracted me…

Dissonance
Window boxes. There’s just something about window boxes that make me smile. They adorn a house with chlorophyll and blooms and are the essence of charming. Our new home has window boxes. In Georgia you can plant pansies in winter…growing up in Ohio, and living in Michigan and New York as an adult, I still…

Her name is Lonely
Lonely is a frequent visitor at my house. She is unwelcome but she keeps sneaking in the back door. She creeps in while I watch TV or sometimes while I wash dishes or go to the grocery store. She thinks she is keeping me company but in reality she just makes me miserable. I go…

Promise + Fabulous = New
The spring green jumped out at me from the brown backdrop of winter. It seemed that the new leaves were shouting, “Hey, spring is happening right here! We’re new, we just arrived!” I was glad to welcome them and thankful that the sun had been so hospitable. There are shoots of new springing up everywhere…

Quote to note
“Women like to make sacrifices in one big piece, to give God something grand, but we can’t. Our lives are a mosaic of little things, like putting a rose in a vase on the table.” -Ingrid Trobisch This is a good reminder. Not that we can’t do big things. Some of us will. Even if…

Sweet Treat!
I got a new gadget last week. It’s made a complete change in my life. It’s satisfied my desire for a treat and it has saved me money! A treat that is actually a decent, healthful option. Aren’t you glad I am telling you about this?! My sister introduced me to the fabulous frother. I…

#AskMeMore
The Oscars were on last night. I watched the beautiful dresses parade on the carpet as I sat on the couch barefoot with leggings and a red hoodie on. I heard about an interesting campaign called #AskHerMore. Apparently a campaign is necessary to draw reporters attention to the fact that a woman may have enlightening…
