What I Love About October

October means many things to many people. For some it’s the start of the official fall season. For others it’s the fun of Halloween. For others, fall harvest and colorful leaves. For me, I love how October brings forth the following: Pumpkins, pumpkins and more pumpkins! Pumpkin spice coffees. Pumpkin muffins and [...]

A Note From the Universe

[/caption] What if, loneliness was simply a feeling of impatience, telepathically sent to you by friends you’ve yet to meet, urging you to go out more, do more, and get involved, so that life’s serendipities could bring you together…Would you still feel alone? What if illness was just the [...]

Allowing For an Imperfect Life

by Peter John Chen

[/caption] Well, I could whine and harp about how I’ve been so busy that I haven’t had time to blog in ages. But really, what would that accomplish? Instead I figure it’s best to acknowledge that I’m by no means perfect (who is?) and just jump right back in [...]

Kisses: What You Give When You Have Nothing Else to Give

This weekend, as part of a beat the heat promotion, Anthem Magazine was giving away passes to the Irish movie, Kisses.  And yes, yours truly was lucky enough to not only win a pair, but was able to beat the heat as well! While it didn’t have the happy ending that most of us Americans have [...]

It’s Summertime And The Living is Easy!

After a month or so of some June Gloom, summer has hit LA hard!  We went from days in the mid-70’s to days in the 100’s.  This is something I was hoping to avoid as much as possible. Luckily,  this year won’t be nearly as difficult as the last years.  While we are still in the [...]

It’s Official, He’s Joined the Masses!

I know I haven’t been around here much these past couple weeks, but we’ve had quite a bit going on.  You see, we’ve been gearing up for the big layoff.  We knew it was coming, and to be honest, we are quite excited about it. And now it’s official. My husband is officially a socio-economic statistic. Well, [...]

The Little Guy is Finally On the Mend

It’s times like when I’m dealing with a sick dog that I remind myself of two things that I’m extremely grateful for: 1) that I’m not a mother and don’t have to take care of an infant or sick or teething kids and 2) that I work from home and don’t have to go to [...]

Rub a Dub Nothing Beats Soaking in a Tub

Most of my friends know of my love of soaking in a bathtub.  Heck, I’m sure I’ve mentioned it here that when I vacation, one of the things I look forward to is a good soak. You see, in our apartment, we have a pretty dinky (and enclosed) tub.  In my places in NM I had [...]

[/caption] From Marianne Williamson: On February 26, 27 and 28, 2010, I will be hosting a weekend gathering called SISTER GIANT: Rousing the Sleeping Giant of American Womanhood. This seminar/conference speaks to the role of women at this pivotal moment in history. It’s a critically important time to transition from disastrous [...]

A Shivanat I am Not

I’ll admit it I bought the Dance of Shiva DVD months ago.  I tried it a few times, but my shoulder started acting up (for some odd reason, I sleep with my right arm thrown up above my head as high as I can – go figure) so I didn’t push it.  I’d pick it [...]
