Having experienced Quaker metting over the years and adapting many of the principles, I found this pledge recently and have been reading it daily as a mantra to keep me out of the mall etc etc.
It could/should be called The Holiday Pledge to be all inclusive.
Believing in the true spirit of “Christmas” I commit myself [...]

Chocolate Cake drink
A colleague shared a recipe with me today. I had an interest in how to make this drink and “Googled” it. Go to drinknation.com and look for Chocolate Cake recipe #3. I don’t visit the VA ABC very often, but have a fascination with anything chocolate. Last year, I was treated to a chocolate martini [...]

My favorite CD is called White Trash Christmas. A few noteworth songs include:
The Little Hooters Girl, [...]

Winter Solstice- Season of Lights
As we wind down 2008, I am thankful for the opportunity to share thoughts, ideas and feelings with family and friends and the unknown. It is important to have avenues to express oneself even if it is negative and illusive. Thanks for reflecting and pausing.
I am taking a sabbatical from school talk. It is important to prevent [...]

Roadblocks- A Philosophy- Long winded- beware
Ever wonder why there are roadblocks to your happiness, success, completion of a project? SHIT happens. OOOPs~~~ !!!( pardon ey moi- **** happens. ) I have begun to suspect that it has to do with being “up for the challenge”, finding creative ways around a problem, becoming solution/action oriented aka not getting derailed/delayed by obstacles.
