My friend Betsy is most certainly living an inspired life! When I first met her in 1989, I knew she was amazing when she came running into my office to show me her new tattoo. I'm not sure she knew just how amazing her life would become as a mom, wife, business owner, entrepreneur. I … Continue reading This One is Definitely Inspired

I enjoy my work and am looking forward to returning and doing those parts of it that a I really love--helping … Continue reading Back to Work on Monday
A Little Something Extra (Weekly Photo Challenge)
A beautiful photo is one thing, but a photo with an unexpected detail has personality and pop. This week, share a photo that has a little something extra. No one who knows him would ever accuse my husband of being a party-pooper. Quite the contrary. When I posted this picture on Facebook, a friend commented: … Continue reading A Little Something Extra (Weekly Photo Challenge)
Be a Good Girl and Do What the Doctor Says
Be a good patient and just do what the doctor tells you. For some reason, I've always believed that the doctor knows best. If the doc says to do something, I do it; the white coat and pretty diploma from the prestigious medical school, are indications that they know what they're doing--at least more than … Continue reading Be a Good Girl and Do What the Doctor Says
The Luckiest Person, Me!
The prompt today encourages bloggers to write about the first person we saw today. The first person I see every day is my husband and while I love him to pieces, I'm going to put my own spin on the Luckiest People topic. The second person this morning I interacted with is a Facebook friend. … Continue reading The Luckiest Person, Me!

I'm sure I won't be the only blogger to use it as a prompt for my writing today; there are surely thousands of bloggers who will share their year-in-review thoughts or their promises for the year to come. I hope thought … Continue reading Betsy: New Year’s Revolution
Happiness Is A Choice
I was trolling my Facebook news feed looking for some inspiration for today's post. The past several days have seen an uptick in the number of posts to the Thyroid Cancer Survivors page; a page that I follow, being a survivor and all. Holidays for so many people are more chore than cheer, and it … Continue reading Happiness Is A Choice
A Neighborhood Diaper Drive
I was perusing my photos today, looking for one something in particular, but instead I came across these. I thought they might make a nice addition to this week's Photo Challenge: Community. Last year, my husband and I wanted to do something for the Holiday Drive at Children's Friend (in Providence), but we weren't in a … Continue reading A Neighborhood Diaper Drive
Weekly Photo Challenge: Thankful
I love these Weekly Photo Challenges, it gives me an easy way to "show" you what I'm thankful for. I think I may have missed the deadline for the one about Thanksgiving, of course. As described in the DPChallenge, we're to show something that is about the holiday, the time spent with family and friends, … Continue reading Weekly Photo Challenge: Thankful
Gravy and the Wooden Spoon
Tonight my twenty-something niece is hosting her first holiday party, from the looks of what's posted on Facebook it might just be her first "grown-up" hosting. It reminds me of the time I first hosted a holiday event. I was living in Vermont in the early 90's and there were quite a few of us … Continue reading Gravy and the Wooden Spoon
