I’m working through a book called Wishcraft: How to Get What You Really Want, and it’s really blowing me away. One of the most important things about following your dreams is not to do it in isolation. Wishcraft is celebrating 30 years in print – and has been re-printed numerous times due to the overwhelming [...]
Figured I’d resurrect a couple posts from November 2005 – I’ve been looking through my archives, debating whether or not to just dump the posts, but I think I can learn something from re-reading them. So here are a few posts from 2 years ago: “I Can’t Stand Bad Writing“: The “I’m too good for [...]
I gravitate towards being a couch potato, although I’ve become more doughy than potato-y the past few years. I know I need to move my arse, but I hate exercise. The thought of staring off into space on an elliptical machine does not turn me on. Walking? Eh… only if I have company. Aerobics is [...]
Call your mom & find out a childhood friend is moving to your town. Remember he’s a high-paid something-or-other. Find out his parents will be in town the same day yours are and also find out there are plans to get together with childhood friend (aka CF), his parents and your parents. Begin to play [...]
I’m one excited gal right now. Ever since the middle of last week, I’ve been unable to contain myself. Last Wednesday at lunch, I went over to a new gallery that opened up called the Blue Frog Gallery. I’ve passed by a few times when they were closed and peeked into the window. It looked [...]
January’s almost over, and I’m happy to say that my goals (aka ‘resolutions’) are on track. Every time I’ve tried to enact a permanent change in my life before this year I’ve been met with the semblance of failure. Not outright failure, since I usually do accomplish something of the goals I’ve had in the [...]
One of my biggest problems is coming up with something to write about. In elementary school they always gave us themes – “What did you do last summer” or “Write about your Pets”. As we progressed through middle & high school we were given slightly more difficult topics to write on: “Explain the significance of [...]
I hate resolutions. So I made some this year. I’ve got some heavy-duty accountability to make sure I’m making progress: Mom. Although she’s not close, she & I discussed the things that would probably be best for me to start on this year – things I’ve been thinking about on my own before the “Mom-talk” [...]
I’m watching/listening to the Democratic Presidential Debate tonight. All I have to say is this: 1) If I were a democrat, I’d be running for the hills. 2) With all the protesters and outbursts, it makes the whole exercise look like a circus. 3) If any of these democrats make it to office, I’m taking [...]
