I am attempting to participate in the 31 Days Blog Challenge, although I’ve had interruptions and distractions along the way. Today’s task is to revive an old post, so it seemed appropriate to snag one from last August about a new month and new opportunities, since tomorrow is my birthday and it’s the end of [...]
Read More...What would YOU do? Think about it – your marine son is scheduled to deploy to Afghanistan next month. Of course, you want him to get one more visit home before he has to go into a dangerous situation overseas, to protect our freedom in America. He purchases his ticket, costing over $1000 – I [...]
Read More...I’m not trying to steal the horror movie’s title – but I legitimately could use it to describe the horrifying experience I encountered 26 years ago today at 327 Elm Street in Lakeport, New Hampshire within this exact time frame of this posting (at least from the time I started the post). At that time, [...]
Read More...When was the last time you evaluated your own skills? Have you ever looked at a promising job lead and confidently applied, only to have second thoughts afterward? If so, you’re not alone. If not, lend me your ear – or your eyes – and words of wisdom, please! So here’s the story: I’ve been [...]
Read More...I interrupt my normal posting for this incredible video I saw today. I’ll warn you ahead of time, if you are easily moved to tears by touching stories, grab some tissues before you watch this!

So in this post, I’m focusing on patience. *Patience as a writer – because like with anything in life, you normally don’t become a success overnight. You have [...]
Read More...Are you a mom who works from home? Need some support, input, job leads, or just general virtual conversation? Yesterday I mentioned Work Place Like Home (WPLH) – today I want to comment on another forum I frequent, called WAHM.com. As most of you in this stage of life know, a “WAHM” is a “Work [...]
Read More...Today’s inspiration, on this Super Bowl Sunday, derived from looking at our back yard following the latest snowstorm (which was a “lovely” mix of snow, sleet, and wind). One corner was white and “clean” with no footprints, kind of like a clean slate. It reminded me about how important it is to not allow past [...]
Read More...It’s strange, sometimes, the things we take for granted – until something happens to affect that person, situation, or condition we’re so comfortable with, that we haven’t considered any alternate reality. For instance, yesterday morning, we ran out of heating fuel – kind of a big deal up here in Maine, in the winter, especially [...]
Read More...*CONSISTENCY* That’s my word for the day – or it should be my word and GOAL for the YEAR!! Confession: I have been sadly “consistently inconsistent” for far too long.
