My first 100 Days of Grace

by Karen, posted in Angels, family, friends, good grief, He and me, Meditation

I was wondering once again this past Sunday why the heck I had chosen Grace to be my word--or more accurately, Grace had chosen me to be its person --this year. Brave, my word last year, was a great word! A word you can sink your teeth into! Get your mind around! Get a grip on! Grace … Continue reading My first 100 Days of Grace

Connection

by Karen, posted in (it's all about the) food, friends, Holidays, Karen's Kitchen, my one word

I was just watching Valerie Bertinelli's new cooking show on the Food Network. It turns out that Karen's Kitchen isn't so different from Valeries's Kitchen. She was making a buffet for a Christmas gathering and it consisted of lasagna, salad, and a favorite Italian cookie from childhood. I realized as I watched that one of … Continue reading Connection

My one word, 2016 preview

by Karen, posted in friends, my one word, The write words at the write time, writing

January is coming fast. The past several years I have participated in the My One Word project. In a  nutshell, you choose a word that 'will inspire you all year long'. It's sort of like making New Year's Resolutions, but simpler. And harder. It's not too early to start thinking about your word. You may already … Continue reading My one word, 2016 preview

Wherever I go, there they are

by Karen, posted in Crystals, education, friends, He and me, health, Metaphysical healing, Travel

For a long time now, every time I go to the beach, a particular kind of blue stone calls to me: Karen!! Yoohoo! Here I am! “Pick me! Choose me! Love me!” (borrowed this quote from a movie but at the moment it escapes me which one). For over a year this has been happening. … Continue reading Wherever I go, there they are

Birthday club

by Karen, posted in (it's all about the) food, friends, quest for the best, restaurants

I am part of a great group of nurses who all work from home. Once a month we (mostly) all get together for breakfast and to celebrate a birthday, if there is one that month. This month we went to Two Hands Crepe and Juice Bar in Brunswick. Okay, it's a hike to Brunswick from … Continue reading Birthday club

SoulCollage Intro Class

by Karen, posted in (it's all about the) food, friends, local fun, SoulCollage

Last weekend I finally was able to take the SoulCollage Intro Class at Bean Tree Place that I've been wanting to take for over a year. The planets aligned (and my daughter's cheering schedule ended) and it finally happened. It was worth the wait. It was a just-big-enough class of four students plus the facilitator, … Continue reading SoulCollage Intro Class

Bunnies for sale!

by Karen, posted in Animals and pets, friends

My daughter's friend has been raising bunnies (some are rescued bunnies) and there are now some ready for sale. Presenting Brianna's Bunnies (click on the pictures for some notes about the bunny): FROM THE SELLER: There is also a tenth bunny (not yet named so you can name this one yourself!) for which there is … Continue reading Bunnies for sale!

Dear Coffee, I love you

by Karen, posted in Angels, family, friends, Life in the cube, Work from Home

"Before coffee, I'm up, I'm moving around, but I'm not awake," said some wise soul somewhere. Until I typed the words, I actually couldn't remember where I'd heard it but I just did. Peter Falk uttered this truism in one of his Columbo episodes. Truer words (about me) were never spoken. How did I get … Continue reading Dear Coffee, I love you

Minions!!

by Karen, posted in friends, Life in the cube, movies, Party for one, Work from Home

If you love the minions and are trolling for minion products to surround yourself with happiness, I am here to lend you a hand. Walmart has small packages of minion stickers in the card/party section and boxes of minion bandaids in the (you guessed it) the bandaid section. Both are inexpensive, under $3. The Women's section has … Continue reading Minions!!

Smooth sailing-not

by Karen, posted in Angels, friends

You know how they say you know when you are on the right path? That doors fly open? The road rises up to meet you? Well, when I decided to knit a prayer shawl for my friend, this is what I expected to happen. I was wrong. First, I couldn't find my knitting (note: expensive) … Continue reading Smooth sailing-not
