Everyday should be a celebration. After all, who doesn’t love to celebrate? Yet, how often do we continue to live mundane lives because we are very busy – or circumstances get in the way. We get so focused on the problem at hand (the deadline that seemed to come out of nowhere; you are over […]
We’ve all done it – we are charging along the path of making a change in our personal life or career. It is going SO well and then, you hear a screeching halt. It may be an obstacle put there by someone else; an unforeseen difficulty; financial issue or any other of a myriad of […]
There comes a time when each one of us must confront our deepest self and have the courage to ask “Am I being honest with myself?”. It oftentimes takes guts and you may not like what you uncover – but, it is critical for becoming a more mature, and frankly, caring individual. I am going […]
Alright, some of us may be guilty of acting like a child from time to time (I know that I am guilty). But, this is different. What was it about the Christmases of your childhood that make you feel warm inside? Was it hot cocoa after an afternoon of ice-skating or caroling? Was it looking […]

I love autumn – cooler weather (although it is still pretty warm here in Texas), football, the colors of the turning leaves, and of course, more robust food and flavors. But, with autumn also comes lots of other things to do, meeting to attend, and school activities are in full swing (including the need to […]
Autumn is here – and with it a whole new cast of vegetables that are in season and at the peak of flavor. Today’s ‘farmaceutical’ – carrots! Carrots have gotten a bum rap from a number of well-meaning eating plans. ‘They have too much sugar’ is the refrain I hear most often. And, yes, the […]
This bread is from www.elanaspantry.com. I was SO hungry for pumpkin bread today that this one piqued my interest. I started with a pie pumpkin that I roasted myself – the quality is SO much better than the watered down version you get in canned pumpkin (unless it is of high quality – no store […]
