I am really excited about talking Tribes! For one thing, I'm psyched about saying (or having said) some of the same things as Seth Godin. I tell myself it's one of those "great minds think alike" things - and putting my mind on par with Seth Godin's makes me smile - hey, I can ...

Early yesterday I thought that the darn rubber band I'd found in my Raw Food Smoothie (talked about in earlier post) created offspring in my tummy. I had a knot the size of Australia in my guts which I envisioned as an ugly, dark gray, solid ball of rubberbands - that smelled like soot. I do hav...

Today was a pouty day - no Little Princess (it's time for our 2-day visit) - no call, no way to get in touch - sigh! I have no way of knowing when I'll hear, or when/if she'll get to visit next - so I was pretty bummed. I decided to hop over to Brené Brown's blog, Ordinary Courage, ...

i look for girls with purses that compliment mine. seriously though, my closest friends are: fun, real and honest, good, entertaining, in love with life, a little crazy, down to earth, deep, and incapable of bs. hard to find? only a little. i've met some truly kindred spirits in my life so far. ...

I have loved everything I've ever read by Pam Grout. My favorite is probably Living Big: Embrace Your Passion and Leap into an Extraordinary Life. One of my favorite lines from the book (and there are so many fun and/or fantastically inspiring- lines) is: "It takes courage to keep going whe...

I watched the movie Mama Mia last week.  I almost gave up part way through - maybe I'm just not a musicals gal. They  (musicals) are about the only place where I have big trouble with suspension of disbelief. This one had Pierce Brosnan mooning* and crooning in it - his role just did...

I never watched an inaugural event before - I voted, but was not interested in boring speeches and what I considered "fluff". Back in - I believe it was 1972 - when I was an undergrad in Bronxville, NY in - the then-President, Richard Nixon, rode down the main street in that town. I was in...

I've just been busy and odd enough my lack of posts are from not from a lack of wanting to post but more of a falter on my end. I think if I make a new years resolution I think I will try to get back into the habit of posting every day. I think I posted every day my first year here; now it's my fift...

I'm listening to some loud funk tonight - trying to drown a little of the pain of handing Little Princess back for another couple weeks. Music, I've said it before,  can save your life (or sanity, anyway). This particular CD is not available in stores (oh, I love sounding like a cheap ...

My baby (ManChild) is getting another tattoo right now. I said another  tattoo - apparently one wasn't enough. The first takes up a nice piece of his bicep. This one will go from a little above his elbow to near his wrist. And I am not liking it. His father has tattoos. I have friends with...
