How cool is this; an award for something I enjoy doing every day--what could be better? This morning when I opened up in connection to Word Press, I found a message from Charlene. She'd nominated me for a Butterfly Light Award. I read on to find out that recognizes those bloggers who spread a little … Continue reading The Butterfly Light Award

My Award Acceptance Speech
In your imaginary award acceptance speech (yes, we know you have one), who’s the very last — and most important — person you thank? "...And finally, the most important thank you goes out to my family...all of them: parents, brothers, sisters, brothers-in-law, sisters-in-law, nephews nieces, cousins, aunts, uncles. I've been blessed to have all of … Continue reading My Award Acceptance Speech
Kindness of Strangers Daily Post
When was the last time a stranger did something particularly kind, generous, or selfless for you? Tell us what happened! You know that television commercial for a well-known insurance company, the one where a man helps a woman with her stroller, then she helps someone else...and on it goes? I'd like to think that's how … Continue reading Kindness of Strangers Daily Post
Thankfully, I Do Not Rule the World
You’ve been given the superpower to change one law of nature. How do you use it? Thankfully, I'm not in charge of the world! I'll leave that to the good Lord above to keep an eye things. I also am not sure I can name more than one or two of the laws of nature, … Continue reading Thankfully, I Do Not Rule the World
I Used Too Many Words Today
...leaving me with few to use for a complete blog post. Here is my thanks for today:
Cinco de Mayo = My Cancerversary
Three years ago today, my thyroid--cancerous nodules and all, was removed. During the "whole body scan" a few months later there were no errant tumor cells and the tumor marker in my blood work came back negative. Throughout the last 266 days of blogging, I've thanked many of the people who had some role in my diagnosis, … Continue reading Cinco de Mayo = My Cancerversary
Saved by The Bell — Or Braces
Tell us about a time when you managed to extract yourself from a sticky situation at the very last minute. Swearing was not something we did in our house growing up. I didn't even know the "F" word existed until I was in my teens, but once I learned it, it quickly became one of … Continue reading Saved by The Bell — Or Braces
100 Days to Go, I Can’t Believe It!
This is it, the homestretch. I've blogged for 265 days. There are days when I've posted more than once because I got into the Weekly Photo Challenge; and have enjoyed adding to my repertoire. I'll admit it hasn't been easy--and I've surprised myself. Maximizing the writing prompts that are offered every day by Word Press has helped … Continue reading 100 Days to Go, I Can’t Believe It!
40 Word Poem
Both the Weekly Photo Challenge (Letters) and yesterday's Daily Prompt (It's My Party) got me thinking about a gift I was given on my 40th birthday. When I turned the big 4-0, I was working as the director of an AmeriCorps program. One of my staff came up with a clever idea to have everyone … Continue reading 40 Word Poem
It’s My Party and I Didn’t Have to Lift a Finger
You’re throwing a party — for you! Tell us all about the food, drink, events, and party favors you’ll have for your event of a lifetime. Use any theme you like — it’s *your* party! I've already had the party of a lifetime, a few of them in fact. It's always fun to celebrate "big" … Continue reading It’s My Party and I Didn’t Have to Lift a Finger
