Because Sometimes You Need to Stop and Give Thanks for What You Already Have
Today started as an ordinary day, only better. I part-walked/part-jogged two miles in a light spring rain; so pleasant. I'm amazed how much my strength and endurance have improved because of the 30 Day Shred (I'm currently at 43 days). I returned home to find this...
Daddy, is this a hot car?
My journey as a driver began in reverse, no pun intended. Most of us initially drive a modest, new-driver kind of a vehicle while our parents quake at home, praying we—and the car—make it back in one piece. As an adult, I more fully appreciate the generosity of my...

Confessions of a Hesitant Host Today at (in)courage
Months ago when (in)RL was announced, it seemed so far in the future. Plenty of time to plan. Plenty of time to clean. Plenty of time to morph into the hostess with the mostess. So I bravely signed up. Of course I would host! No problem! But guess what? Now it’s April...
