Groovy socks for the Greatest History of all times
Braving the Wilderness
My first impression after reading this book is OH MAN, I think I just read the timeliest book by far! Maybe of all times! Could that really be? There are so many books to read and I certainly haven’t read them all. What I did know for sure was that I would be reading it […]
Mindlessness is NOT the Way to Go!
Okay, that sounds a bit bossy but I kind of feel strongly about Mindfulness. Last week this article came across my Google feed of news stories and because I have read most everything that comes across related to mindfulness, Google has me figure out and they sent this article. Imagine my surprise when I saw […]
The Type of Flood I Want to Encounter! Jólabókaflóđ
A Flood of Books That Is. Doesn’t that sound dreamy? I think so! The Jólabókaflóđ (Yo la bok a flod) is a Christmas tradition of the highly literate people of Iceland. On Christmas Eve, Icelanders give their favorite gifts (books) and pretty much know they will be receiving several new books of their own […]

Potential Benefits of Journaling

THE SEASONS OF AWE-FALL

Life Changing tragic slow down of Tidying Up: Sometimes Death, Hurricanes, and Life get in the way of keeping up with the act of Tidying Up!
I mean nothing flippant here whatsoever! I mean no offense to anyone who has had to deal in more severe fashion with hurricanes, floods, fires, death of anyone in their lives and people who just plain suffer far worse situations than myself. I am only speaking from my experience about trying to declutter my house […]
“Growing” More Mindful- Gardening and Horticultural Therapy or The Zen of Watching your Garden Grow
Ever gotten that feeling of satisfaction or excited by watching your garden grow? Or maybe the thought of growing something from a seed to a bloom gets you thinking “yes” I would really enjoy doing that! If you answered yes to either of those thoughts then you have another way of easing into the practice […]
Don’t like the feeling change the thought! It’s all about your Mindset!
Feelings come from somewhere but where? It seems they come from our thoughts. I actually had no idea about this until I had a pretty cool therapist who I visited to help me make sure I was dealing with some heavy emotions after losing my husband to brain cancer. So when I announced to her […]
It’s all in the mindset to be Furiously Happy, at least to me.
I had never heard of this book Furiously Happy by Jenny Lawson until one of my co-workers kind of sideways told me about it after something I had said—no I don’t remember what it was now but she said she was worried I would take it the wrong way. WHAT is she talking about, that’s […]
