I’ll always be younger…muhahahaha Today is Chuck’s birthday.  As I type this I wonder if he cares that I just told the whole world his age, hmmm I hope not.  He treats his birthday just as another day, which I really don’t understand.  No really, it blows my mind.  I’d celebrate birth week or month [...]

Every year from back before I can remember I’d help my Mom make Christmas cookies.  We would start early, I’m guessing November, making sugar cookies, Russian tea balls, shortbread cookies with the ends dipped in chocolate and then we’d freeze them.  As Christmas started getting closer my Mom would get the frozen cookie tins out [...]

Dec 10 – Wisdom – What was the wisest decision you made this year, and how did it play out? (Author: Susannah Conway) Deciding to buy a cottage. It gave Chuck and I a project to work on together and some place for us to get away. It’s a great place to just let go [...]

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 [...]

For the past couple years, Lisa and I have planned a girls’ weekend.  And for the past couple years it’s been just the two of us that participate because it’s so hard to get people together.  When you graduate high school and go to college it’s all about making friends, hanging out in groups and [...]

We spent 8 hours painting ceilings this past weekend.  8 hours.  The more work we do the more excited we get and it’s really starting to sink in that we have a place of our own to get away for the weekend.  The dogs are slowly getting used to the cottage, though you can tell [...]

I’m slowly making my way through my 30 Before 30.  As Michelle pointed out there is a lot of travel involved.   Because of the path my life seems to be taking,  I don’t see much travel in our future for the next couple years (not babies!).  Most likely a lot of the travel plans I’d [...]

Life is about movement, moving forward, regardless if we want to or not.  It’s about growing as a person, and yes, stepping out of the proverbial box. For someone who is a tiny bit afraid of heights, I never thought I’d be taking aerial yoga classes at the Detroit Flyhouse.  I didn’t think I’d be [...]

Did you have a night out with friends or a loved one that rocked your world? Who was there? What was the highlight of the night? Probably the most exciting hockey game I ever went to was Game 7 of the Red Wings vs the Anaheim Ducks in May 2009.  I was with Chuck, my [...]
