Every year I think “Movies Suck”. I get frustrated with the super-heroes, sequels, reboots and remakes. Don’t get me started on the remakes. As a consumer, I wonder what hell has gotten into Hollywood? Are the writers on strike? It’s a real question. That’s not to say I don’t enjoy the movies, because every year… Continue reading Why Do We Love the Movies?

Another Trip Around the Sun | Happy Birthday to Me
The cat is out of the bag…Today is my birthday. Even though New Years was twelve days ago, I’ve personally made another full trip around the sun.

It’s the Little Things | Happy Thanksgiving 2015
It’s a quarter to three. To be real honest, there isn’t anything special about today, and yet it’s probably the best day I’ve had in ages.

Before long it was just one apple tree and the two others. But then one pluot got sick and never recovered, and the other… Continue reading Ode to an Apple | A Guide to Making Applesauce
#HappyMothersDay
I’m incredibly proud of my kids. I’m biased, sure, but I contend my kids are pretty damn awesome. And not just because I’m biased. Because I think it’s true. Understand something, too, that I’ve always been pretty….strict, maybe…in my expectations. Here’s my thing… Years ago, I was sitting in a sterile, non-descript room with a… Continue reading #HappyMothersDay
YOU…Step Away from the Comfort Zone | Three Tips to Discovering a New Happiness

My most… Continue reading YOU…Step Away from the Comfort Zone | Three Tips to Discovering a New Happiness
