FTSF – After a Hard Day’s Work
After a hard day’s work, there is more. Years of days have been spent at work… challenging, demanding, rewarding, exhausting, physical and emotional. After a hard day’s work, there is more. Years of after works are spent at another job more education, seminars, workshops, meetings, workouts, the things required to sustain or progress. After a…

TToT – Short Week
The short week after a Monday holiday is always a particular kind of hell. In theory, it’s a great thing. You get to skip Monday and only face four days of the regular week – whatever your regular might be – before it’s weekend time all over again. But. In a short week after a…

Six Sentence Stories – Rush
“Don’t be in such a rush,” he said as he gently, but firmly, tugged her arm to slow her pace. “We’re going to run out of time and he timed it a certain way.” “Nah…all the time in the world. See all these people just looking at you, smiling at you? Let’s enjoy the little stroll,…

Away Message
The Tuesday after a long weekend should feel awesome. But it never does, does it? It feels kind of like a super-Monday. Short weeks are tougher than regular five-day weeks, I think. And this week I have my hands full. For today, I’m giving you a bit of an “away message” because I know I’ll…

While I suppose it’s presumptuous to call myself “wise,” I can at least admit honestly that I found several occasions this week that called for some practical application of knowledge and somehow I got it right! And in the spirit of being practical, I need to…

FTSF – Success Begins in the Grocery Store Checkout Line

“I suppose no man can violate his own nature.” I would love to tell you those words are mine. I would love to tell you they fell from my consciousness onto the page and I breathed the wisdom of a lifetime into them. I didn’t. They belong to the only mind they can, Ralph Waldo…

Book Review – Marcia Kester Doyle’s Who Stole My Spandex
Everybody has that friend. You know the one. The friend you meet for the lunch date that ends at 5:00 PM when your husband calls wondering if you’re stranded in a ditch somewhere. The friend you can talk to about anything, because we all need to bounce those topics off of someone else for comparison’s sake. Just to…

A Mustache on Monday
I believe in full disclosure. Translation: I was delighted to fall on the number in the TToT link-up Sarah designated as one to answer these questions because neither of the other two posts I’ve been working on are ready to go this morning. I don’t know about you, but I’m feeling seriously behind the eight ball this…

Connecting with Compassion – 1000 Voices Speak for Compassion
1000 Voices Speak for Compassion is coming again! I’m a bit behind in revealing my topic for the May link-up, but I’ve been working on so many things the date kind of escaped me. But here we are, a mere four days away, so now is as good a time as any. Our theme for…
