We are lucky if we have friends that we can rely on enough to call them our best friends, but we are truly blessed when we can honestly say that some friends are the sisters our parents didn’t give us. I’ve known Lisa pretty much my whole life, gracing me with her presence when she [...]

Isn’t it amazing how fast Christmas creeps up after Thanksgiving and how quickly it’s over?  There is all this anticipation and when it’s done it’s almost like it was never here.  I’m extremely lucky that my job gives us Seasonal Days, which means I’m on vacation from Christmas Eve to after New Year.  In the [...]

Dec 7 – Community – Where have you discovered community, online or otherwise, in 2010? What community would you like to join, create or more deeply connect with in 2011? (Author: Cali Harris) When we bought our cottage in April I had an idea of what I was getting into.  I had frequently visited the [...]

I love Etsy and I am constantly referring people to it when they ask me where to buy gifts or if they are looking for something special.  I have even encouraged a few friends to open up shops, but none have yet.  You bet I’ll be the first person to tell you if they do.  [...]

Dec 3 – Moment – Pick one moment during which you felt most alive this year. Describe it in vivid detail (texture, smells, voices, noises, colors). Picking a single moment over 12 months/52 weeks/365 days is hard. It’s the small things, like sitting up on the roof with Chuck rigging Christmas lights for 3 hours [...]

Dec 2 – Writing – What do you do each day that doesn’t contribute to your writing — and can you eliminate it? I always have good intentions – I’ll just finish this before I start that – Oh shiny.  What was I doing?  I have at least a thousand things in my head that [...]

Reverb 10 is an annual event and online initiative to reflect on your year and manifest what’s next. The end of the year is an opportunity to reflect on what’s happened, and to send out reverberations for the year ahead. With Reverb 10, we’ll do both. Dec 1 – One Word – Encapsulate the year [...]

I’m a hockey girl and I’m beyond ecstatic that the Detroit Red Wing’s 2010-1011 season is underway. A few facts: Datsyuk is my favorite player.  I wear his jersey when I’m lucky enough to go to games.  I have not succumbed to being a crazy fan by stalking the restaurant he apparently frequents before home [...]

A year ago I didn’t know my Detroit girls.  We are all very different from one another but we have two important things in common; we love discovering Detroit and blogging. Last night we finally got to use our GroupOn deal at Polefit Revolution.   Melanie, the owner and our instructor, was awesome.  She was warm [...]

Since most of the people that read this are family I thought I’d confess some of my lesser known..ahem…quirks. I hate touching meat – as in food. Raw meat grosses me out. Whenever I see a recipe that I might want to try I look at 2 things. Listed Ingredients – if it lists something [...]
