The Geek(s) Shall Inherit the Earth

My husband has been know to accuse me of being a Geek. Now, if you happen to know him, you would know that this is a case of the pot calling the kettle black.
He a technical kind of guy… works for a tech company, has technical hobbies – like flying and ham radio [...]

Going Natural

This is an update. I had the process done to my hair. I had a hairdresser pull the color out. She used something similar to the Rusk product I mentioned… but not Rusk. Apparently this product doesn’t smell as bad. (Which is fine by me!)
I peeked at my hair at [...]

Zero Limits is Finally Here!

I requested that my local library order Joe Vitale’s Zero Limits.  They did!  It actually arrived before I could find a copy on my own!  I was at Borders the other day and they were out of copies… or at least I couldn’t find one.   But yesterday I received a notice in my mailbox:  The [...]

Tomorrow’s the Big Day–Going Gray!

Tomorrow I am going to get my hair done! I am currently in the endless “trap” of hair dye, that I’ve been trying to get out of for more than a year. My first conversation with my current (old) hairdresser was desperate!
I was home-dying a dark brown and my hair [...]

The Gift that Keeps on Giving

For Father’s Day this year, the kids and I gave my husband MicroSoft’s Flight Simulator X Deluxe.  (He already bought himself a grill at Home Depot.)  Now he already had the Flight Simulator X and he loved it, but I caught him looking longingly at the Deluxe version when we were at Best Buy.  He [...]

The Chartres Labyrinth

This is the pattern of the Labyrinth at the St. John’s Center. My daughter and I enjoyed our walking meditation on Saturday. I think I could walk this labyrinth everyday and it would always be different and instructive, a mirror of my reality, a metaphor for my life.             [...]

The Labyrinth

Yesterday I had a very interesting experience. I walked a Labyrinth.
Born and raised a Catholic, I had somehow escaped Labyrinth walking. Our church didn’t have one. I had overheard a conversation about it once between one of my classmates and a nun, but I really had no concept of what it was.
I [...]

My Dog Keeps Me Humble

I have a 17 pound cock-a-poo, named Max (after my grandfather and my husband’s grandfather – both Maxes) who’s mission in life is to keep me humble.
I have many Max stories, which I will share here over time, but I’ll give you a quick background on Max and some of his personality quirks here.
Before [...]

Improving Community Resource is a Win-Win

I just recently started using the library again. — I haven’t been there in so long that my old library card was no longer in the system!  The kids were in grade school back when I had a card!
You see I’m reading so much these days, that I couldn’t possibly buy every book [...]

Wealth is defined…

A point to consider when attracting wealth is, that wealth is not always judged in terms of money. Not that there is anything wrong with money, but it should be seen for what it is: energy. What most people are looking for is happiness and that can’t be bought. If [...]
