• Doppleganger With Style

    Do you set personal goals for yourself? “Something Good” Sunday Yesterday, I discovered that I had achieved a personal goal for myself that I didn’t know I had set. Many years ago, when I was deep into my life as a Catholic school teacher, I saw a woman at Walmart. I wrote about her in… →

  • Bad Influence, but Good Taste

    “Something Good” Sunday “Sorry for being a bad influence on you”. That’s what my oldest sister said to me when she called me from the airport after I had dropped her off and she had made it past the security checkpoint. I was driving home at that point. She and I had just spent the… →

  • Spooky Season Stuff and Ugly Shoes

    “Something Good” Sunday There are 3 things that I need to report that are making me happy today. First, last night, Josh and I made our semi-weekly trip to Barnes & Noble. Usually we go on Sunday evenings, but we were out to dinner last night instead of tonight so we went. I had read… →

  • Adulthood is Overrated

    “Something Good” Sunday There has never been a moment when I have felt like an adult. My brain tells me all the time that I am still 18 years old. Though, honestly, I’m thankful I’m really not. I just don’t feel my age. Even though I’m old enough to have to get yearly mammograms and… →

  • What YOU Want

    “Something Good” Sunday Life-changing, huh? I don’t know that this would change your life, but I think for me, it’s a non-negotiable. And that is, make sure you take time to do things that you want to do. It’s so easy to get bogged down with the things you have to do or things that… →
