Only how many days left in the year???

| September 28, 2009 | 2 Comments

Hey, y’all – Several days ago, on Sept. 23rd, to be exact, I posted on Facebook that there were only 100 days left in 2009.  Then, I posed the question, “What do you want to make sure happens this year before time runs out?”  I also said that I was pondering the question, too, and [...]

It’s Monday, and the first working day of a new month – a great day to get a new start on an old list (or a new one)!  And that’s just what I am doing.  There’s lots going on around here, both personally and professionally, and it’s all good.  It’s a lot, though.  And, did [...]

As BevAnn, my dear and wonderful assistant, said in a recent post, “the party’s over.”  I am home from the inauguration, so happy I went, and so sick from all of that time out in that frigid weather (ugh).  I wouldn’t trade one single experience of it, though, for a few days of better health [...]

  While Laura is away, the cat will play. I am Laura’s assistant, BevAnn. For the next few days I will be keeping you posted on Laura’s whereabouts.   For those of you that don’t know – Laura is in Washington, DC to celebrate the 44th President of the United States. With any luck, she [...]

The Risk (and Reward?) of Slowing Down

Hello! I hope you have been very well since I last wrote – risking daily and enjoying the holiday season! As I was writing the article for my next newsletter, which will go out sometime in January, I was thinking about the value of slowing down.  Maybe it has something to do with being here [...]

Loaves and Fishes

Loaves and Fishes This is not the age of information. This is not the age of information. Forget the news, and the radio, and the blurred screen. This is the time of loaves and fishes. People are hungry, and one good word is bread for a thousand. ~ David Whyte ~ from The House of [...]
