It’s 2010 and I couldn’t happier. Many wonderful things happened in 2009 (married my best friend, and got pregnant) but it was a tough year (step-dad went through cancer treatment, my pay was cut and my hours increased). I’m looking forward to a new year. And though I am optimistic every year, I do feel [...]

Conflicted and Afflicted
I am supposed to be traveling over the mountains to beautiful, scenic Twisp, Washington right now to spend the weekend with some of my favorite super women. They are having an awesome workshop and hafla event. Alas, I’m not feeling well and with the seasonal diseases lurking, I am not willing to push my chances. [...]
A Glean In My Eye
Here are some things from my gleaning folder. Enjoy.
Tweet Clouds Are you a twit fool? Make a word cloud from the word you tweet the most.
It said “Do NOT reply” On a lark these guys bought “donotreply.com” back in the day. Now, they get emails from people looking for the real mcCoy when companies use [...]
Inspiration. Investigation. Motivation.
I’ve been super busy with work and hardly any time for personal computer time, but I wanted to take a moment and write about what I’m doing in my free time.
In the evenings, instead of blogging, flickring and twittering, I’ve been reading “Animal, Vegetable, Miracle” by Barabara Kinsolver. It is the story of one family’s [...]

Money and Happiness
Long, but well worth the read. I’ve tried to summarize the best points here.
In a typical survey people are asked to rank their sense of well-being or happiness on a scale of 1 to 7, where 1 means “not at all satisfied with my life” and 7 means “completely satisfied.” Of the American multimillionaires who [...]
A Tree Spoke to Me
I found this quote at Wish Jar Journal. It’s speaks directly to a question I asked myself and God last night. It seems like I’m always struggling for goodness or happiness. And I find I am tired most of the time. Struggle is that way, it takes energy. It’s not about the struggle and that, [...]
Meme: Watch These Movies
Until I can think of something to write, here is another meme. This one found via that dude in the utilikilt and I believe started over at Kottke. Based on a list 102 movies you should see before you consider yourself movie literate complied by film critic Jim Emerson.
I’ve marked the one’s I’ve seen with [...]
