So I have read a great book by Brant Hansen called Unoffendable and I think it is a book everyone should read. It's all about how life can get better by making one simple, extremely difficult change. Choosing to give up anger. I have to admit that I cannot think of a single good thing…
I am very blessed to have awesome parents. That doesn't mean that I was always an awesome daughter though. They put up with a lot from me. They also gave great advice that I promptly ignored. I should have listened to them and for that I am sorry. They gave me advice like eat more…
One thing I have noticed about kids is they are not afraid of anything.

I am not going to talk about the politics or speculation surrounding this appointment.…
Defeated. That's how I was feeling yesterday. Those of you that follow this blog know that I try to write at least a post a day, and I did not write at all yesterday. I'd lost my motivation and desire to write. I know, I know, the girl who writes about finding how to motivate…
Oh how I miss Kindergarten! Sharing and Crayons and Recess and Nap Time! Naps should be allowed at work! I am serious on that. Someone start a petition. Petitions remind me of politics and while I am not going to comment on who I believe is right or wrong on that I will say this:…
Hey You! Yes You! You can help make the world a better place! Isn't that exciting! Wanna know how? Step out of your comfort zone and volunteer at your local food pantry. Or give to your local food pantry. This is a good list of what to give if you aren't sure. Not sure where…
