It’s what Christmas lights do for me, they twinkle. I especially like the small, white lights on my tree or front porch, or in the wreaths that hang on our windows and doors. My husband, on the other hand, likes colored lights but tolerates my need for the holidays to be filled with all that … Continue reading Twinkle Lights

I Got Skills!
Mad skills. Crazy good skills. Skills that help other people. Skills that I've really enjoyed developing over the course of my life so far. Am I a master at any one of them?

I know a little bit … Continue reading Jack of All Trades, Master of None
This One is Definitely Inspired

All I’ve I Got In Me Today
Offering this thought as my post today:
There is Always An Irish Proverb to Set Me Straight
I am grateful that this work day is over, it was long and difficult. I also want to thank the people who made it just a bit more pleasant: Jacqui, Dan, and Elizabeth.
Minion-Making Music Multiplies the Merriment
We all have songs that remind us of specific periods and events in our lives. Twenty years from now, which song will remind you of the summer of 2014? I know some of you might think that a song can get too much air time on the radio, but I don't think this one can ever be over-played. … Continue reading Minion-Making Music Multiplies the Merriment
