I've been thinking a lot about Lent, as I mentioned yesterday, and I've come to this conclusion: instead of subtracting something from my life, I want to add something.  What would that be?  A deeper awareness and reverence for the sacrifice our Lord made for me, and...

Remember when I said I stopped dictating what time I wanted to get up and asked God to decide, when I said my prayer before bed?  Well, this morning, He must have wanted to sleep in.   :)Which means I'm getting a late start on just about everything, including this...

I planned on working this weekend, simply because I'm so close to wrapping up "Big Sky Wedding".  I don't know when I'm going to learn.  🙂  I NEED my weekends to refuel my heart, mind and soul.  I need to cook, putter, play with my art supplies, all the things I do...

Well, ladies and gentlemen, there's another week under our belts, so to speak.   The book is nearly finished, I've been riding my exercise bike faithfully (thank heaven for the cushy new bike seat that makes the process a lot more comfortable), and doing a very easy...

Today I decided to tackle my writing quota first, before I did pretty much anything else, and guess what? It was a major success!  Yes, it took a while, but I got SO MUCH done, even after a late night and sleeping in for a few extra hours. Hence, the late blog.  🙂 ...

February 6, 19-- was the greatest day of my life, because daughter Wendy was born.  She came into the world squawling and a touch on the blue side, in a hospital in Klamath Falls, Oregon, and she's been the best thing that ever happened to me, people-wise, since that...

That some of you are being too hard on yourselves.  🙂  It took me forever and the proverbial day to start exercising--I'd been on the Food Lovers plan for three full weeks before I began riding my exercise bike, and I just started my strength training routine last...

I'm all rested up and ready to roll--every time I ride my exercise bike, I feel a little better.  (Why didn't I start SOONER?  Guess there's no sense in asking that question.)  I once heard Covert Bailey say that if the effects of exercise could be contained in a...

Today's the day--we're getting together to have a birthday bash at one of our favorite restaurants.  I guarantee we'll be rocking the place with laughter--we always have fun when we get together.  (I'm looking forward to the challenge of choosing the proper protein,...

We'll be announcing last week's winner as soon as she (or he) has been notified by email. Mom and Jerry's birthday celebration has been moved to Thursday--their actual birthday--and we're all going out to lunch.  So, yesterday I was able to stay home and complete a...

It appears I'm back to my old schedule of getting up early, so I have a running start on the day.  And I could not be more grateful.  Last night, I prayed, "Please wake me up at such-and-such a time".  Didn't even set my alarm.  You got it--I opened my eyes five...

No, I have not taken up cannibalism or done that thing they do in Hollywood, when they 'honor' someone by making jokes about them over dinner and drinks.  The title of today's blog desribes one of my craft experiments this weekend--between taking Vitamin C and lying...
