[I apologize ahead of time to those of you who read more than one of my blogs, as I am posting this in each one as an update!] Hello – yes, it’s really me! After getting off to such a good start with blogging in 2011 – I have had three unusual months in a [...]
Read More...As I mentioned in yesterday’s post, I’ve been busily revising old blogs and starting new ones. So since I’ve been (mostly) consistent with this blog in 2011 so far, I thought I would introduce each of my new blogs, one post at a time. Remember, I’m still learning, but having a great time with this [...]
Read More...I was just reading one of the blogs my friend Becky writes – and she has one post called “30 Random Things About Me.” Becky lives in New York and we “met” virtually several years back through a crafting site. I know she’s an amazing entrepreneur: crafter, candle maker, and web host extraordinaire – I [...]
Read More...So as I alluded to in yesterday’s post, today is my birthday. Considering I nearly didn’t live to see my 27th birthday, it is a blessing to make it to almost twice that age (or as my mom-in-law put it, I’m “40+13″ today!) I’ve had a pleasant day, starting off with a card from my [...]

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 hinted at this the other day – about purchasing new domain names … well, here’s one of them: Words of Encouragement (actually “words-encouragement”). I was able to snag .com, .org, and a relatively new one (as I understand it), .co. So this is a very short post HERE tonight, directing you to check out [...]
Read More...Considering this is St. Patrick’s Day, I thought I would take a little trip down “memory lane” and invite you all to go along. Way back in 1974 – wow, 37 years ago – I traveled to Ireland with my high school marching band. First, last, and only time I have gone on a flight [...]
Read More...I wanted to call my Dad today to wish him a Happy 78th Birthday. I wanted to tell him how much I love him and miss him. I wanted to tell him that I wish we could get together and celebrate our spring birthdays, along with my middle daughter (mine is at the end of [...]
