In my search to find what was next on the horizon after a couple of career changes, I embarked upon the career path of “alternative teacher”. There are many programs out there and I embraced one with all the gusto I give any project, 110%. After completing all the required courses, I found the schools [...]
The Tea Cart is Gone
Yesterday I had a yard sale. It was a lot of hard work, but satisfying in that I was able to unload a lot of unnecessary stuff that I had been hanging on to for years. It felt good to pass it on to others who will use it or sell it. What we didn’t [...]
Finding My Identity
As a woman who is a follower of Jesus Christ, I have struggled with who and what my true identity is for most of my life. I became a follower of Christ about thirty years ago and immediately the indoctrination began of what was acceptable and what was most definitely not. I had a pretty [...]
On What’s Important
I have given serious thought to blogging and putting thoughts down for others to see.

Ah… Spring!
It is refreshing to know that in spite of the overwhelming bad news that we are barraged with by the media regarding the state of the world’s economy, global warming, the heightened threat of terrorists in Afghanistan and now even on the high seas, Spring will have it’s way. If you were to take a [...]
Beauty and the Beast
It has long been said that “beauty is in the eye of the beholder”. When I first heard that expression I asked my mother what it meant and she told me that what was beautiful to one person, might not be to another. Everyone defined their own beauty. I always thought my mother one of [...]
Don’t Pay Your Taxes!!!
I will be the first to admit that I was not happy about Barak Obama being elected as our new President. While others spoke of change and hope, all I could see was more government regulation, bigger government and intrusiuon into our lives. As I watched bits and parts of the Inauguration, or as I [...]
