Recall the last conversation in which you spoke from the heart.
Think of the last time you listened with so much awareness and presence that you truly felt what the other person conveyed to you through words.
When is the last time you maintained eye contact long enough to glimpse the soul and true feeling of the [...]
I *love* Scrabble (which is trademark protected and copyrighted, I’m sure). Though the temperature rose well over freezing, the kids are not excited about going out in the mud and falling icicles. So, indoors it is, and with a parent-enforced t.v. ban in effect, the board games make a comeback.
A great one for us Scrabble [...]
The kids are home for their second day, but at least today is a little more unplugged. I let them watch movies yesterday thinking the power would go off, but it didn’t until almost midnight!As the kids settle into various activities, I keep drifting to the windows, looking across the rooftops and at the now-splintered [...]
With the ice growing thick outside, the kids have been confined to the house. With my energy being sparse, fortunately the young ones are getting creative when left to their own devices.
Delving into the recycling bin and craft cabinets, the kids decided to make robot masks and costumes. After their construction, we had a living [...]
It is true that right now I’m not being incredibly creatively productive in an artistic sense; even my husband has commented on my lack of project productivity. My time, it seems, has become devoted to other more immediate and practical necessities. So, while I devote this day to wrapping up some communications, searching for a [...]
For those of you willing to push the spiritual envelope, I’ve found something that you may like (or not) and that you may not know about (or may already).

There are lots of reasons to be happy today, not the least of which being because today holds monumental significance. One of the reasons for us happens to be because of the fifth birthday of my third child. We no longer have any babies in the house, though the youngest will claim the role any [...]
First of all, I hope everyone has a chance to recall why today we celebrate the life and work of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.
I also hope that you take some time today to reflect on what your dreams are, at all levels.
Can you remember what you dreamed last night? What have your night dreams [...]
This is an extremely loaded question. There are many levels to a person’s well-being.
What I’m wondering is if you’ve given thought to your own happiness of late. How do you define being “happy”?
When I was in high school, my senior year I gave posters to some of my closest friends, duplicating by hand 365 reasons [...]
My husband’s birthday is in May, and I’m glad he told me what he wants now since it may very well take until then to knit this monster. Of course, if I had a time traveling phone booth, it would be a lot easier.
Pick your season, and duplicate your own Dr. Who scarf thanks to [...]
