Share/Save I had a rather disturbing yet fascinating epiphany this week. The foreclosure of my house is a symptom of a greater problem. No, symptom isn’t quite the right word for it because symptom just seems to make the foreclosure of my home sound like a sniffle, or a cough, even a minor hiccup and [...]
Share/Save I have a friend from high school who recently wrote to me from Cabo. Through the magic of Facebook he had found me and had kept up with my story, and when he needed to share his own tale, he wrote to me—from Cabo. This friend had a small business or two out in [...]
Share/Save Do you remember how you discovered that Santa wasn’t real? There has been a raging debate in a local parenting group that I am in about Mr. Claus. Questions have been thrown out and every parent seems to have a different take on the subject. As concerned parents, we are wondering: Are we lying [...]
Share/Save I had an all too familiar conversation on the phone just now with a good friend who owns and runs Basic Builders, a small family kitchen remodeling company. We were both lamenting that it’s Christmas, the time of year that we really need a little extra work and a little extra money, but all [...]
Share/Save I have been going through an awakening of sorts. The foreclosure of my house hit me over the head and served me a huge wake up call. Now as I begin to wake up and open my eyes to the world around me, I am coming to realize a lot happened while I was [...]
Share/Save Depression, it’s back. The deep, dark ugly funk has hold of me again and it won’t let go. I have tried vitamins, diet, exercise, herbs, even a little meditation, but nothing seems to loosen its grip. I have made a lot of mistakes (I think I’ve been fairly honest about this fact), but the [...]
Share/SaveLast week, I did my first camp-out on Wall Street. Crazy, right? I’m not sure what possessed me, because as they say, I am not a happy camper. My camping experiences so far have involved miserable, puking children, rain, rain and more rain, and tents being shredded by wind — and, yes, rain, with lost, [...]
Share/SaveJust when I thought I had nothing left to learn in this whole maddening adventure, life stepped in and once again said: “Hey lady, the joke’s on you.” A wonderful friend took all of my blogs and edited them into a play. Woo-hoo, I wrote a play! Well actually I wrote of series of blogs [...]
Share/SaveThere is just the tiniest hint of fall in the air today. You can feel it in the soft whisper of a breeze that tickles the back of your neck, in the cool caress of evening as the nights begin to chill and deepen, the smell of cinnamon and nutmeg that lingers around the coffee [...]
Share/SaveCar rides with my kids are rarely silent (unless they are all sleeping). Usually my small delinquents’ voices fill the car with squawking, squealing and squabbling. A raging battle over territory complete with pinches, pokes, licks, taunts, jabs and screams has ensued for almost the entire summer between the older and the younger siblings; every [...]
