Water torture? Not!
“If you change the way you look at things, the things you look at change.” ~Wayne Dyer Last night I was trying to shut off my (monkey) mind long enough to fall asleep when I became aware of a noise that at first I couldn't place. What was it? Oh no...drip, drip, drip....It was water. … Continue reading Water torture? Not!

In it, the authors describe 22 processes that anyone can practice to improve their life. One of them is … Continue reading The Universe’s ‘to-do’ list

What I didn’t do today
These are all of the things I didn't do today on my day off from nursing, wife-ing, and mothering. Read. Well, okay I did read a little, but only the local newspaper, briefly, while I was eating my minestrone soup, with a cup of coffee and a gingerbread muffin chaser. Knit. I have a hat that's 3/4 … Continue reading What I didn’t do today
