I remember when I was a teenager, about 13 or 14 years old. I was in our basement singing [...]
Friday Favorites – Week Ending April 20, 2007
Friday, April 20th, 2007It’s been a tough week on a lot of fronts, so my Friday Favorites list is a little short this week. In any event, I hope you enjoy my finds for this week.
Favorite #1 – Women are often thought of as nurturers and caregivers. This post highlights many qualities with which many women [...]
What about the Mother of the Murderer?
Thursday, April 19th, 2007I’ve not wanted to write about the shooting at Virginia Tech on Monday simply because it’s all over the airwaves – online, print, television, cable. There’s not much I’ve wanted to say about it. Frankly, I can’t bear to watch the news coverage of this horrendous, callous incident.
As a teacher, though, my students [...]
I am thankful for…honesty in the midst of opportunistic journalism
Wednesday, April 18th, 2007As we all know, an horrific tragedy occurred on the campus of Virginia Tech on Monday, April 16th. I cannot imagine being the parent of any of the children who lost their lives that day. I can only extend condolences and prayers to the families of the victims, to those still fighting for [...]
I am thankful for… INTUITION
Tuesday, April 17th, 2007I am thankful for the gift of intuition. In fact, I am on a quest to reclaim my intuitive sense. Really, I hadn’t developed it all that well in the past (interestingly enough, it never crossed my mind that it ought to be developed in the first place). Yet, in reclaiming [...]
I am thankful for…books! But I’m afraid that…
Monday, April 16th, 2007In my Friday Favorites for the week ending April 6th, I committed to posting that for which I am thankful in response to a post written by Ang at Ang4Him. Unfortunately, last week I felt compelled to write about some different things, yet, I continually thought about what I was grateful for. So [...]
“Thinking” About It – Thinking Blogger Award
Saturday, April 14th, 2007One of the great things about being here in the world of blogging is I’ve been able to begin developing my voice to attempt to talk about some things that are important to women (and men too!). Since I’ve started, I’ve met so many great people who’ve encouraged me along the way, tagged me [...]
Friday Favorites – Week Ending April 13, 2007
Friday, April 13th, 2007It’s been a busy week, with the Imus controversy and all. I received some really great comments in response to “Sticks and Stones…”, so I’ll generate a separate post with those comments (partly because I lost some of them in the post and I can retrieve them by email) in the next couple of [...]
The Thrill of the Truth
Thursday, April 12th, 2007I love books. It would be a crime if there were no bookstores, no libraries. I’ve learned a lot from books, whether self-help, fiction, non-fiction, scripture…
I like creativity books. I find myself on the outside looking in sometimes, though, when I read many of them. But have you ever read books [...]
Did You Leave A Comment?
Wednesday, April 11th, 2007Isn’t technology the most wonderful “thing”? I tried to upgrade to the latest version of WordPress, and voila! My whole blog disappeared, along with most of the comments my wonderful readers left here Wednesday, April 11th. Moreover, this “guffaw” affected my husband Manchild’s blog as well; many comments left for him on Wednesday disappeared as [...]
