Beat this optical illusion!

September 30, 2008

Morning all, Yaaaaaawn, I’m a wee bit tired I’ll confess – yesterday’s joyful mad dash with the kids and family certainly tuckered me out one whole heck of a lot.

On being a GREAT lover – Are you your body OR are you your soul?

September 27, 2008

Morning all, For today’s post, I’d like to focus on a very very very VERY simple concept….yet one that is often overwhelmed by the priority our society places on truly superficial aspects.

Emasculating the jerks who bother you

September 26, 2008

Morning all, You know, at the venerable young age of 44, I am constantly reminded of just how terrific it is being in my 40s.  Not only do I currently enjoy superb health (at 125 pounds this morning (which is 52 pounds less than my weight in December of 2006), my stamina, while still slightly [...]

Embracing your Rebel WITHOUT a Clue

September 24, 2008

Morning all! My gosh, it’s now 1:42pm and I’m finally (yes finally!) feeling life start to percolate back into my veins.  You see, yesterday I indulged (over-indulged) in my beloved adult karate sparring…and it was amazingly magnificent and spine-tingling and death-defying and quite enjoyable indeed.  Our sensei had us practice blocking drills (I counted three [...]

Are you painfully enduring wisdom?

September 23, 2008

Morning! My gosh, what a, ahem, unique weekend and start of the week!  I’ve come to the conclusion that not only is parenting and life a hero’s journey fraught with more emotions than a Punk Rock gospel revival, but it’s also one that causes you (if you lose the ego) a tremendous opportunity to learn [...]

September 19, 2008

Morning! It’s been a pretty hectic past week, let me tell you that!  I’ve been flying solo now for the past 6 days; the husband returns from a week-long  business trip very shortly and it’s not a moment too soon.

Putting AWAY your childhood with a Crystal Sword

September 18, 2008

I’m feeling very pensive this moment. This morning, all the utterly soul-searing agonizing joys of PMS barreled into my unwilling pysche, making me consider various channeling methods including indulging in MMA to the death, using a flame thrower to tidy up my kids’ rooms, evoking world peace by obliterating mankind and other similar gentle pursuits.  [...]

Morning all, It’s 3:43am!  Do you know where your sleep is?  I know where mine sure ain’t – operational!!  So as always, it’s time for me to take advantage of my sleeplessness and write instead.
