Aren’t these beautiful! I first saw them in a booth at my favorite flea market. I’ve been watching them and when the seller marked them down to half price, I just had to bring them home. A little birthday present for myself as I am 35 today! I am spending the [...]

Posted in Everyday Life, Inspire, tagged intention words, joy, love, sharing, stamp on March 29, 2009 | Leave a Comment »
Earlier in the year I spoke of intention words. I chose Joy as my word for the year. The idea being to create joy around me, to look for joy and seize it whenever I could, and to share joy with those around me. Well, over the weekend I literally seized the [...]
The Body Artist – Book Review
Posted in Books, tagged book review, Books, Don DeLillo, The Body Artist on March 25, 2009 | Leave a Comment »
The Body Artist is an odd book. The story was intriguing, yet difficult to understand and follow. Even upon finishing I was left wondering what was real and what was make believe. It is the story of a woman dealing with death and trying to move forward. I wouldn’t recomment this [...]

The Flamboya Tree – Book Review

I have heard often about Hitler, Germany and WWII, yet rarely have I heard much of Japan’s actions during the war (except, of course, Pearl Harbor). This book is told by a woman who spent 4 years in a concentration camp on the island of Java. She was Dutch and the Japanese sent [...]

A Circle of Quiet – Book Review
Posted in Books, tagged autobiography, book review, Books, Madeleine L'Engle on March 22, 2009 | Leave a Comment »
I have been a fan of Madeleine L’Engle since reading “A Wrinkle in Time” in the 6th grade. This was a wonderful book. It is not your typical autobiography. No names, dates, or events explained in great detail. This is not about Madeleine L’Engle. It is Madeleine L’Engle. It [...]

My new workout routine is going splendidly. I showed great improvement this week. My first workout resulted in a score of B – Professional. I improved in a combat game I had played before and mastered a Mind and Body Zone game that had completely eluded me the first time I played. [...]
Mount Vernon Love Story – Book Review
Posted in Books, tagged biographical novel, book review, Books, George Washington, Mary Higgins Clark on March 22, 2009 | 2 Comments »
I thoroughly enjoyed this book. I have read about George Washington many times in history classes over the years. Never has he seemed more real to me than when reading Mount Vernon Love Story by Mary Higgins Clark. Before becoming a famous mystery writer, Ms. Clark wrote a radio series called “Portrait [...]
