A Bruised Ego = Strength

May 9, 2011

In our lives when our egos have been bruised, our feelings hurt, or we feel like we’ve been burned by someone we have two options: Option A: Turn the situation around, learn from it, and allow it to make us stronger. Option B: Staying bitter for a long period of time and turning to unhealthy [...]

Mother’s Day Thoughts

May 5, 2011

Rewind back time nearly 10 years ago to when I had my first child. I was ready. I was 26 years old, had a master’s degree in education, had taught kindergarten for several years, and figured if anyone knew kids it was me. I’d taken every class available at the hospital.

April 25, 2011

As you know, I was in Utah for most of last week visiting my brother and cheering him on during his college graduation from BYU. When I went to BYU seventeen years ago (choke!), I had no car, therefore I didn’t get to venture out much other than the Varsity theater, watch cheap shows at [...]

Mi amigas, I am off on a jet plane to play with my little bro this weekend in Utah. He’s graduating from college and I will be there to cheer him as he celebrates his accomplishments. I can’t believe this was the kid who was 9 years old at my wedding! Weird. We have grand [...]

Chocolate!

February 11, 2011

Valentine’s Day is definitely one of my favorite holidays simply because it is all about love. OK, forget that. Let’s get real: It’s all about the chocolate. Back in the days of my Sugar Breakup, Valentine’s Day had particular significance. I only ate sugar five time a year and Valentine’s Day happened to be one [...]

Many Thanks

February 9, 2011

Thank you, thank you for the many emails and comments I’ve received from many of you regarding yesterday’s burglary. We still have a mess of things to deal with, but thanks to a husband who is a pro at stepping up to the plate and embracing crisis (unlike his wife who just wants to crawl [...]
