Imaginary Friend: Ms. Blissie Boucher

3 years with the NYC Girl named Blissie!
People who wander into our lives are sometimes only there for a short while. Little did I know 3 summers ago, Blissie was not to be one of them. She was there for the long haul.
We met at Rob’s and One World. We [...]

Imaginary Friends: A Profile

*A brief introduction to this: I laid in bed this morning knowing this was my next blog.  I rolled it around 10 times over in my head and just knew it was what I would write about. Some things just feel that important.  I will do a series.  I am not sure in what [...]

I got to thinking about the weekend.  This weekend was fairly unscheduled.  It [...]

Tired of Hot?

At least finding this weather pixie makes the warm weather a bit more fun

The sun sets on Blog Action Day…

Today is Blog Action Day 2009:  Climate Change.  I’ve thought all day long what to write about.  I’ve read the updates as they came through.  I got excited about the worldwide momentum in the blogosphere.  Yet… my post didn’t materialize.  Often when I drive, I find the posts take root.  Today…  I waited and waited.

heartburn, headaches, and happiness?

You really have to be careful what you ask for.  Bottom line: Blessings come in all shapes and sizes.  Most recently I have been blessed with an incredible new career challenge.  I love my job.  If I won the lottery I may answer differently, but until then I do love what I do.  [...]

Life Challenges

Bear with me while I work through some blog growing pains and adjust its look and feel.  The previous was so bold and colorful but the columns were too narrow.  This may be better.  I love how bright and cheery it is.  We’ll see how it feels a few days from now.
