Updated Shopping
Hey, everybody. As I hope you saw, I plan on renewing my commitment to being crafty. I’ve been working hard on getting pictures updated and cards made. If you would like to order a card, simply contact me with the card’s name and your email address. For easier browsing, I’ve put all my cards up … Continue reading
My iPad, My computer
Anyone who knows my husband and I could probably tell you that we are very big Apple fans and almost always have the latest and greatest Apple product. We were a little late to the iPod game but have owned just about every type since the first Nano (which I affectionately named Slim). My husband … Continue reading
Personal Update
I’m in the beginning steps of personal reinvention. I’ve been floundering for a while no longer feeling productive or useful at home. Friends of mine know that I considered enlisting in the military to solve my problems. It is not ruled out, but I am no longer actively pursuing that route. After a long talk … Continue reading
Information Overload
If you’re reading this, it’s pretty safe to assume that it’s from some form of RSS reader. Many people I know get the majority (if not all) of their news in this way. I know I use it to learn about crafts, design, what’s going on with friends, and what’s going on in my community. … Continue reading
My house, my home
One of my resolutions for this year is to hang on my walls items that I already own. This includes pictures, art, and shelving. One of my life goals is to decorate my home. I’m pretty sure it will be impossible for me to say that decoration is ever complete because I like the idea … Continue reading
Progress Report
I just wanted to share a quick update on my goals for 2010. One of them was to bring in about $1,000 a month without going back to traditional employment. I’m ecstatic to share that I have accomplished that goal at least until the end of the school year. I have enough coaching classes as … Continue reading
Finding the balance between responsibility and passion.
I’ve been spending most of my afternoon catching up on my very neglected RSS reader. I also spent time today listening to a couple of Phoenix creatives talk about their “alter egos.” The part of their message that had the greatest impact on me was that it’s okay to hold a regular job. It’s even … Continue reading
List expansion
Recently, I posted the beginnings of my own bucket list and received a comment from someone I didn’t know. Jesse Harding is only 17 years old and has over 250 items on his list. I read through them and was inspired. I’ve decided to add quite a few more things to my list, including some … Continue reading
Bucket List Beginnings
There have been a few of the 100 things lists going around the blogosphere, and I’ve seriously considered participating. I’ve typed up the beginnings of my list and don’t even have 20 items. I guess I’m not much of a dreamer or a long term planner, but I like the idea and the thinking that … Continue reading
Reading and Writing
I’ve found that in order to write, I have to read. In school, I always had to write book reports, which meant I had to read the book. Some of the best writing I’ve done has been based on a topic I’ve read about. I envy fiction writers. It seems they can write from their … Continue reading
