Not for Snow Haters

You won’t understand.

But for all of the rest of you…

We got snow last week!

This is how it made me feel. Sigh.

Don’t laugh.  It’s just starting.  Everyone took pictures like this. It’s what we do in South Carolina when anything remotely resembling snow falls from the sky.

Same deck a few hours later.  I really wondered if [...]

Grumpy Old Men and Oysters

Is it common knowledge about “select” oysters?  Is this something that everyone but me knew?  We were at Publix tonight, and I asked the guy in seafood if he had tried these and if they were good.

“They are select,” he said.

Oh. Ok. I wait.

Nothing.

So I ask what that means. They are the best he tells [...]

The Mirror Has Two Faces

Who is this sassy, fun thing?

When I saw this picture for the first time in many years, I held it and studied it as if seeing it for the first time. I could not believe it was me. I felt much like Barbara Streisand’s character in the movie, The Mirror Has Two Faces, [...]

We’re All Going to Starve

if the world ever has to depend on us to grow enough food to feed the masses. Heck, we would be lucky to grow enough to feed one very tiny person for a light snack.

Remember, my little garden in which I was so proud of?  Well it is the saddest thing ever, what is left [...]

Hidden Treasures

I’ve recently learned that not only is it important to take pictures, but it is also important to make a note of who is in the picture. You’ve heard the saying, “He has muscles in places that I do not have places?” Well, I have people in pictures that I do not know who is [...]

A Magical Place

This is where I tell my husband that I live. I think he has even come to believe it himself. I live in a place where what I get is usually directly proportional to how badly I want it. He will measure something and say, “It won’t fit.” I will measure [...]

Everything You Need to Know…

about how to live life can be summed up in this one quote…

Live life like you want your obituary to read.

~Tammy Cobb

So simple but so powerful.

I was reading obituaries one day, and yes I do on occasion read them.  I know.  It seems weird, huh?  [...]

My Personal Weight Gain Journey

This is my first time publicly discussing this. It is very personal, and I really struggled with if I wanted to share this or not, but on the off chance the search engines pick up this entry, I wanted to give back, help and encourage my fellow weight challenged friends.

I have struggled with (not) [...]

On Second Thought: Vision Board Revelations – Making Choices for Extraordinary Living

I started a vision board this week and as I was looking for pictures for it last night,   I learned something pretty surprising about the choices I make. For everything I “thought” I wanted, I had a secondary thought that made me NOT want it, too.  Who knew?  I bet I do not have in [...]

Be Your Own Leading Lady

Because, after all, you ARE the leading lady in your own life!

No one else can be you. You are an original and ONLY you can star in your own life. The role is yours and belongs to no one else. Don’t go through life as wallflower sitting on the sidelines. [...]
