A Thought About Thoughts

I found this in a friend’s journal a while back and had been holding onto to it knowing that when the time was right, it would touch me.
“It isn’t the things that are happening to us that cause us to suffer, it’s what we say to ourselves about the things that are happening. [...]

The Love of a Dreaming Cat

I learned this yesterday and then again today…when lying down reading a book, be wary of letting the cat use you as a pillow. This is especially true if he starts dreaming. Next thing you know, you too will be sound asleep.
PS - sometimes reading with the pupster can have the same effect, [...]

I Think the Universe Has a Message For Me…

And it’s not to eat tostada pizzas all day long. Sadly, it’s not. Earlier today, I met up with Megan Crane to interview her for my website’s blog. I brought the recording equipment with me so we can hopefully run it as audio and not have to transcribe it. So we’re [...]

How Many Books Do You Read?

I don’t mean in the 50 Book Challenge sort of way. I mean, more like the how many books do you read a week? Or how many books do you read at once? You know, how many books are by your bedside? I ask because I’m since it’s summer, I’m once [...]

Thursday Thirteen - Vacation Packing

Here are Thirteen Things I must bring with me wherever I go on vacation…
1. socks to sleep in - my feet are always cold, even in the dead of summer
2. lipbalm - I am addicted and as an addict, I need to know my lip stuff is right near by.
3. and 4. [...]

Who Knew

I was sitting back and reading the LA Times with the hubby and he hands me this one article and tells me that as a blogger (Ha!! Like I’d really call myself a blogger - though I do run another blog site that gets updated regularly), anyway, as a blogger, he said I needed to [...]

For These Things I Am Grateful…

I just thought that I’d take a moment and focus on some of the many, many things that I am so happy and grateful for…
* we’ll start with the obvious, yet very important…my health, wealth, happiness, joy, work, love, home, family, friends, husband and boys!
* my upcoming haircut, brow wax and pedicure!!
* my current batch [...]
