It’s Black Friday
The Thanksgiving meal has been eaten and the dishes have been washed and put away. I watched the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade and I saw Santa at the very end. It’s now official; the Christmas Season has begun. Many people decide to start this season rushing around to all of the Black Friday sales. The … Continue reading
Happy Thanksgiving
Well, Thanksgiving Day has finally arrived. The dressing and pies have been made and the turkey has been cooked. I just wanted to take a moment to thank you for taking a few minutes out of your day each day, to read my posts. I have had so much encouragement from my readers. So, thanks … Continue reading
It’s Never Too Late to Reinvent Yourself
I have been hearing the term, reinvention a lot lately. Maybe it’s because the economy has been so bad for so long, that many people have had to reinvent their careers and themselves. The depth of beauty and prosperity that can rise from ashes, never fails to amaze me. I remember when Mount St. Helens … Continue reading
Southfork God
I was a big fan of the television show Dallas, back in the eighties. There were beautiful, rich people and a ton of drama. When J.R. got, shot, the entire nation was abuzz.

Responsibility
I recently saw a re-run of the movie, Dirty Dancing. (the original of course) We all remember Patrick Swayze’s famous line, “Nobody puts baby in a corner.” But, Jerry Orbach, who played the dad, also has an awesome line at the end of the film when he realized that he had made a mistake in … Continue reading
That Little Voice
One of my favorite shows in the eighties was Magnum PI. I just loved watching him ride around Hawaii in his red Ferrari. Tom Selleck was good-looking and he always got the girl and caught the bad guy. The scenery was gorgeous too and he had two besties that were in on all of his … Continue reading
