It really amazes me the cases people bring to the courtroom. Quite often it seems to be for one reason… someone refuses to accept responsibility for their own decisions or actions.
Case in point… the January 2006 issue of Reader’s Digest features a story “You Be the Judge” by Robin Gerber. It’s about a 10-year-old boy […]
I love Christmas. Really, I do. But I also breath a sigh of relief when it’s over.
The extra cooking, cleaning and shopping are chores that most women feel compelled to take on. Yes, some men do too, but let’s face it, many men do perhaps a quarter of the work involved in Christmas preparations.
One […]
A few weeks ago someone told me that he thinks I am the calmest person he knows. He said that nothing seems to rattle my cage.
I laughed because my cage gets rattled, dropped, and stepped on as much as the next person’s. I’ve just installed invisible padding inside my cage so that when it gets […]
On Saturday I drove my two teenage children to the mall. I’m not a fan of malls during the quietest times of the year, so imagine my anxiety as I pulled into the overly crowded parking lot 8 days before Christmas.
I had warned the kids that I would commit to staying for one hour, but […]
Luke 10:38-42
[38] As Jesus and his disciples were on their way, he came to a village where a woman named Martha opened her home to him. [39] She had a sister called Mary, who sat at the Lord’s feet listening to what he said. [40] But Martha was distracted by all the preparations that had […]
This past Saturday I attended the National Speakers Association New England chapter’s meeting.
I’ve been wanting to attend one of their meetings for many years, but I’ve never had the courage to go alone; so I invited a good friend of mine, award-winning storyteller Mike Harris, to go with me.
I crawled out of […]
Warning… the names and details in the following column have been disguised to protect the innocent. But hopefully the guilty will recognize themselves!
Andrea is the hard-working, totally loving type of woman that can’t (won’t) say no to her children, family, friends, or anyone else who knows her name. Her full-time job seems […]
For several years now I’ve been dabbling in business. I’ve written business plans, created marketing strategies, and created seminars and products around self-development and improved relationship topics. I am proud of what I’ve accomplished, but to call it a business… I just don’t know about that.
When I listened to Coach Leesa’s Cubicle Divas podcast […]
I’ve been spammed to death. Almost every time I log on to check my e-mail I have over 100 messages waiting for me. Ninety percent of them are spam messages telling me how to increase body parts I don’t possess, buy prescription medication at a discount, or help some rich family in a third world […]
With expected high heating costs this winter I decided to invest in some insulated drapes for the large picture window in our dining/computer room. Not being a domestic design type woman, we’ve had the same valance-type curtains since we moved into this home 11 years ago. In fact, the curtains came with the house!
Our house […]
