Life, Laughter, Love...and Shiny Objects
Goodness. This book has helped calm my overactive mind. And this is good for everyone involved.
Sometimes, we just need a little help weeding through our priorities and eliminating the ‘shoulds’ in our lives and schedules, so we can live a life according to our spiritual calling. One that matters. One that leaves us full of light, instead of drained of life.
Alli’s book is a perfect guide in helping you do just that.
One Call. Kind words. A happy heart. And hope.
It really is that simple.
Yesterday I received a call from my son’s school. As usual, when I looked at the caller ID, my heart stuttered a bit. My mind raced. And I wondered, what now?
I answered, and the voice on the other end reassured me right away it was a ‘good news’ call. The caller was one of his teachers. The same teacher I wrote about in the post two weeks ago, Crying in the Canned Goods Aisle. Yep, the very one that made my cry, a happy cry, in the canned goods aisle at Target.

Today I turn 43. A rather un-magical number, really. It doesn’t have the glam and parties that 40 offers up. It’s just another year closer to that hushed term, “mid-life”, (gasp). And it’s still several years before many consider it appropriate to throw another large party. Forty three. 43. 4-3. No matter which way you write […]
Parents. You know how this goes, right? We can’t believe our kids are one month old, then six months, then they’re one, two, ten years and so on. And so here I am, the day of my son’s thirteenth birthday, wondering where the hell the last 13 years have gone? How did this happen? How has […]
It’s so hard, isn’t it? To pause, take a moment with yourself and Him, before throwing yourself into the demands of the day? I struggle with this…most days. But I’m working on it, and remembering the Grace that He provides us. Sometimes…when the day has already started to wash away from me, I find […]
Oh my friends. It’s the New Year! Have you heard? And you know what that means, right? The NEW YOU! The first of January hits and suddenly we’re feeling like we need to radically transform who we are, what we do and how we do it. We make resolutions and plans to transform ourselves […]
You know, every year I say to myself, ‘I’m getting my Christmas cards ordered before Thanksgiving so I can fill them out Thanksgiving weekend and get them in the mail on Dec. 1st!’ And every year, I feel like I fail because I don’t. Seriously. Every. Darn. Year. And you know, the only person who […]
Here we are, day ten of NaBloPoMo (National Blog Posting Month), in which I am attempting to write and publish a blog post every single day, for the month of November. Whoa. It’s tough, I tell you. To think of topics to write on every day, and then to have the courage and gumption to […]
