We Can Do More Than We Realize

This is such an amazing video, I just have to share it. Please watch the whole thing. It will show you just how much one (or a few) caring people can do when they are determined to do what is right. When we all do our part, no matter how small, we can change the…

Create The Day – With Organization

Yes, I’m trying to get organized, again. I find that organization is something ongoing and it is definitely a big part of being creative. Lack of organization can slow creativity down; it can even bring it to a grinding halt. There are two kinds of organization that I usually have to deal with, and if either area…

Feelings

“When you feel happy, really happy, it somehow seems that you’ve always been happy and that you’ll always be happy.

Photo Challenge – Indulge

Mom

My mom is one of the most compassionate people I know, not in a gushy or weepy way, but in a very practical way. Right after high school she went to nursing school and became an RN. She took care of people her whole life. By the time I was 3 she decided she should stop working…
