I am not like other people. My husband will tell you that I don’t live in the same neighborhood as other people – and I’m okay with that. Unique is the label that I prefer (but I also stand proudly under the standard of strange, unusual, peculiar and different). My uncle must get some credit…
My mom needed a ride to the doctor’s office, but I needed to get some work done. It was easier to just pack up some of my work and take it with me than to try and create a different way to get her to the doctor. When I walked into the doctor’s office, I…
The battle begins in your mind. Whether you are tackling weight, clutter, finances or any other troublesome spot in your life, you must think right before you can get right. It doesn’t matter what you do, how long you do it, or where you do it. If you don’ change your way of thinking then…

My husband often complains that I spent $40,000 (probably much more once you figure in interest and misc. expenses) getting a degree and all I have to show for it is a diploma on the wall. Try as I might, I never seem to get him to see how my BS in Leisure Services (yes…
The more I procrastinate, the more I have to do. You would think that it would all pan out, but instead the chores and need to’s dam up (usually at the end of the week). In the end, you either have to give up all your free time or else give up some of the…
