“They” are always telling us to follow our dreams. Well, last night I dreamt I was writing a blog post from the perspective of my cat, Carmen. Actually, come to think of it, I was Carmen and writing a blog post. In the dream, it was a really good post. I wish I could have… Continue reading Perchance to Dream

Ignorance is Bliss
When you don’t know how something will turn out, all the potential of what might be is still there. There is a chance to dream of what the future may hold. Last week I found out that my dream of returning to dance is dead. My injury will not recover without surgery and wouldn’t be… Continue reading Ignorance is Bliss
Friendly Birthday Wishes
Today is the birthday of one of my dear friends. I have known her for 26 years, well over half my lifetime. I’ve mentioned her before (She is the one who so graciously provides me with gardening space!), but now I have permission to give her a name and a face. Hillary and I met… Continue reading Friendly Birthday Wishes
Purposeful Living
I am doing something unusual this year in terms of resolutions: I’m having a different one each month. Each helps me work towards a personal goal, and knowing that I only have to do it for a month makes it feel like a fun challenge and not a chore. I haven’t quite worked out all… Continue reading Purposeful Living
When Procrastination Pays Off
Twice in the past month I have saved money by putting things off. This isn’t the way things are supposed to work. If you are proactive, you are supposed to be rewarded, right? This time the universe smiled on my occasional slacker tendencies. Or to put a more positive spin on it, “I love it… Continue reading When Procrastination Pays Off
Different Times Equal Different People
As I took out the trash over the weekend, I discovered that someone had missed the dumpster when attempting to toss in an empty water bottle. My first thought was, "Come on! Walk the extra 20 steps and recycle it!" Then my instinct led me to pick it up, bring it up to my place,… Continue reading Different Times Equal Different People
Let it Snow
This week snow seems to be a common topic. The Timmycam(tm) at ThinkGeek was moved to show their beautiful white view. Empty Nest Mom talked about ways to inspire yourself to get outside in the cold. I was feeling left out. I figured I would give you a Southern Californian’s experience with the white fluffy… Continue reading Let it Snow
Breaking In Old Habits
Early last summer, as I walked down the hall to my office, I noticed some receipts on the ground with my boss’s writing on the back. He’d come in at night before to drop stuff off for me, so it wasn’t unheard of, but it was still odd. As I walked up to the office,… Continue reading Breaking In Old Habits
Shouting from Rooftops
I love my man! Two years ago this week I met DH2U. My life has been better ever since. We met on an dating site. It was his looks (sooooooooo my type!) and his sense of humor that drew me to him. To the question, “What personal information are you willing to reveal here?”, his… Continue reading Shouting from Rooftops
Blessings of Age
When I first started dancing, I learned that I couldn’t see well enough to spot, yet my glasses would go flying off if I tried practicing turns while wearing them. For the first time in my life I was going to get contacts. The whole concept of sticking my finger in my eyes seemed wrong… Continue reading Blessings of Age
