Determination
When you know for sure
About 15 years ago, the hubbs and I were working corporate jobs in Houston, Texas. Our life was fun but our jobs were fast paced and often stressful. On a whim, I signed up for a three-day class that took me out of my office cube and into an interactive workshop. This seminar required participants, [...]
“I’m Gay”
Remember when personalized license plates came out? I do and I’ll tell you why. I was a teen, living a country girl’s dream down on the family farm. It was summertime and my days were spent riding my horse, swimming in the lake, and hanging with my cousins. (When I wasn’t pulling weeds, cleaning the [...]
On perspective
Like many of you, I’ve been working out (more) often and happily, I’m starting to see the benefits of my hard work (I’ll blog more about that later ). The biggest shift has been from feeling obligated and petulant about exercise to looking forward to my time. I’m proud of the effort, I enjoy the [...]

Sandi wrote a post on behalf of her beautiful grand-daughter, Celeste. An excerpt: As [...]
Yogi lessons
No, not that Yogi. The other kind .. as in yoga. That’s right, yoga. See, I’ve had this DVD sitting around for probably 6 months now. Just took the plastic off last week. Popped it in after a long walk, thinking it might benefit me. And it did. But wait – there’s more! Tuesday night, [...]
The inner lizard
“When you are in a creative or appreciative zone, you literally have no access to your inner lizard, to that fear-based, non creative, shrieking little beasty who’s so afraid you’re going to be a bag lady.” –Martha Beck When your inner lizard appears, how do you silence her/him?
Walking distance
I work near someone whose personality grates on my nerves. There’s no conflict; I make the effort to get along because that’s the right thing to do. Having said that, her voice is the last thing I want to hear on a busy day, a quiet day, an aggravating day or, for that matter, any [...]
