One of the coolest things I did this week was watch The Empire Strikes Back with the kids. My all-time favorite of the Star Wars movies. And while the things Yoda says are not exactly about gratitude, they certainly are wise. A strong spiritual teacher, is he. So in lieu of quotes on gratitude, this [...]

It is almost impossible to believe, but this coming Thursday, November 18th, is the one-year anniversary of this blog. I started with humble beginnings and hopes that the blog would help me grow more accustomed to sharing my writing with others. It was also a huge step for me to announce to the world that [...]

This week, it’s the simple things I’m thankful for. Quotes on Gratitude “We can only be said to be alive in those moments when our hearts are conscious of our treasures.” — Thornton Wilder “There are only two ways to live your life. One is as though nothing is a miracle. The other is as [...]

Today my baby girl is 7 and as promised, she is celebrating with her first slumber party. My house is now filled with four squealing little girls – before they’ve had cake. I got out some board games, hoping they might be tempted to play quietly, but no dice. For now I am tolerating the [...]

Having already “promised” her a sleepover, she is now having one next Friday after school which happens to be [...]

I will not belabor my experience of seeing New Moon for the first time, since I’m sure there are loads of “Twi-hards” out there blogging about it in much more chisely, sparkly detail. Suffice it to say there’s enough sparkliness and rock hard ab-ness to make you momentarily want to be 17 again (until you [...]
