“Anything I’ve ever done

~Betty Bender
With a combination of conviction and a tender voice, my son looked into my eyes last night and said…

Arriving at the Moment of Your Dream
by Stacey Hoffer Weckstein
Can you capture that moment
when you knew you had arrived at one of your dreams?
Here are a few of my arriving moments…

Stumble It!

 The little voice inside my head wants to subtitle this post “Monday’s Ramblings”.
“By the responses, I am inspired further to share my experiences and write what I know. Through my writing, I learn more about who I am and how I think”  ~ SARK 
In last week’s Wordless Wednesday, I mentioned that SARK launched her newest […]

Over 6 million people have already seen Randy Pausch’s Last Lecture: Achieving Your Childhood Dreams.
I’m posting this video for the few that still have not heard Randy Pausch’s inspiration and wisdom.

This morning I found a touching article on top of my computer. My loving husband placed it there for me to read. Even though my husband knows how much I love him, the article was a good reminder that life is short and in all of the daily chaos of life, I need to tell him and show him just […]

Today I am joining a group of bloggers who participate in Wordless Wednesday. I found Wordless Wednesday through MomGrind.
Do you think you could go an entire day without speaking or writing words? 
Sounds heavenly to me.
