Motivational Monday: The Creative Life

Author:  |   |  No Comments | 

My goal with Motivational Monday posts is to encourage myself as much as others, especially since I thought it might be helpful to start a long work week with what little bit of enthusiasm we can muster to keep us going. Today's little piece of inspiration spoke to me because I have creative goals and...

Motivational Monday: Deferred Dreams

Author:  |   |  No Comments | 

What happens to a dream deferred? (Langston Hughes) Does it dry up  like a raisin in the sun?  Or fester like a sore--  And then run?  Does it stink like rotten meat?  Or crust and sugar over--  like a syrupy sweet? Maybe it just sags  like a heavy...

Easter Outfit

Author:  |   |  No Comments |

Weekend Music

When a Dog is Fed Up

Author:  |   |  No Comments | 

I fully planned on posting a cute pet photo today, or even a favorite music video - you know, to get the weekend off to a good start - and then I saw this. This dog made my entire week. Or as the kids say, this gave me life! I could see my dog pulling this stunt. Enjoy the antics (and turn down your sound). more info Sidebar: I'm a pet owner who loves animals, so I would never laugh...

Red Cabbage Recipe

Author:  |   |  No Comments | 

So this deliciousness happened last night - sautéed red cabbage with balsamic vinaigrette. I made it for my family, but I could have devoured the entire pan myself. I enjoy a colorful plate, and what could be more colorful than red cabbage? First it's red, then purple, then blue! Not...
