#189…NO, Thank You

As most do, I also contemplate all the new changes that I’m going to make for the new year, but have finally given up on the physical fitness workout and dieting once and for all.

#186…Ten Years Later, Making Peace with Mother

Let go, let God. Bottom line, it’s the only thing that works in my life and I realize, FINALLY, I am the major problem here, as It takes me forever to figure things out. I possess a streak of “dumb”.

#183…Wasted Years…But Were They?

Two weddings in 2 weeks, what a tuff time with emotions! The Bride is ALWAYS beautiful. The groom absolutely handsome. The wedding well rehearsed, every hair in place, everything perfect.

#182…Green Tomato Relish, Tornado Sirens, Halloween???

I have either lost my mind or I’m slipping into my 2nd childhood. A powerball win would save me. Then I could hire a crew of people to help do all the projects I come up with.

Garage sales and antique malls. I confess, I am an addict and very passionate about my calling.  This year I turned to art.

#172…Returning to Normalcy?

What is normal anymore? The world as I remember more then a year ago is gone. Broke. I never can get beyond broke. If something I treasure gets damaged, a crack..a stain……it’s in the trash and now a memory. Love and respect seems to be out the window.  But rather then focusing on the negative Read more about #172…Returning to Normalcy?[…]
