Inspiration Monday: Take Yourself Seriously into the New Year
I love New Year’s. There’s something about saying farewell to the old and greeting the new, that makes me grateful I’ll be able to start with a clean slate. Didn’t do something last year? Here’s a chance to start once again. And I’m not talking about the goals that are here one minute, gone the [...]
Inspiration Monday: Our Deepest Fear
Our Deepest Fear by Marianne Williamson Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness, that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented and fabulous? Actually who are we not to [...]
Inspiration Monday from Abraham Lincoln
My husband is a big fan of Abraham Lincoln. He can still recite the Gettysburg Address from memory, which I find amazing. My husband has this cute little book, about 2 inches by 3 inches with a few selections of Abraham Lincoln’s writings. I found four year old with this in her possession and thought [...]
Inspiration Monday: Getting Back on Track
The future depends on what we do in the present. – Mahatma Gandhi I’ll be one of the first people to admit that I was a bit lax this summer with my writing. I was doing really well with the writing every day until these past couple of months. And then the loose days of [...]

Inspiration Monday: Take Yourself Seriously
How many of you let other people know what your dreams are? Or do you secret it away, hiding your herculean efforts, until the moment of truth comes and you can unveil your masterpiece? Or, do you let a few people in, and try to juggle everyone else’s needs since you don’t want to change [...]
Inspiration Monday: Take Time for Yourself
Summer is a time I’d like to think would be slow and relaxing, but I’ve found myself more stressed these past few weeks. Isn’t it sad that I’ve found having three children home, all day long, making sure they have summer fun, has drained me? It pains me to admit that, because these kids are [...]
Inspiration Monday: Be Persistent
I am in constant awe of my children. For any of you who have interaction with children, you know what I mean. The ability children have to persist, despite who they irritate. The ability to tune out the “No’s” and turn them into “Why’s” in a split second. For the most part, children don’t care [...]

Only when we are no longer afraid do we begin to live. – Dorothy Thompson You gain strength, courage, and confidence by every experience in which you really stop to look fear in the face. You must do the thing which you think you cannot do. – Eleanor Roosevelt Be not afraid of life. Believe [...]
Inspiration Monday: Get Resourceful
Yesterday was the best day of the week. Plenty of sun, fresh air, and lots of fun to be had. And since I had to drag my kids around on a few errands, I said it would be okay for them to have friends over. Yes, I’m one of those parents. Who love having my [...]

Inspiration Monday: Oh, The Places You’ll Go!
I discovered Dr. Seuss’s book, Oh, The Places You’ll Go!, when it first came out in the early 1990′s. I love this book. It mixes enthusiastic cheers for those days when you are so on, soothing whispers of encouragement for the really bad days, and the what are you gonna do about it attitude for [...]
