These two recent bills from the Diagnostic Clinic are indicative of why I am voting for a candidate with a healthcare plan.
My daughter smashed her thumb in the car door. It got infected and bled into itself. The only way to release the pressure was for the doctor to cut open her thumb. I went […]
I met a fascinating woman who left her family (well, most of them) for a year to pursue a higher degree when she won a prestigious award.
Her story begs the question, how many mothers turn down great opportunities simply because they didn’t explore how to make it happen?
If you hear yourself saying, Oh I can’t do […]

Tracee, I am Lisa, the owner of Bows By Lisa Luann: My mother has just forwarded me your email/blogs that have been written, ones she has received and ones she has sent. I think this whole ordeal has been blown way out of proportion. Please let me explain. My husband and I travel and sell, […]
I have been trying to teach my 16-month old, Zack, the sign for drink and the word drink. It’s one of the few signs I know and I wanted to cut down on the whining.
Uuuhh, uuhh, uuhh. It’s irritating.
I kept thinking, apparently this stuff doesn’t work for all kids.
For months now he’s been waving at me from his high […]
We’ve been without television for at least a week, maybe more. We’ve just been too busy to deal with getting it fixed.
The problem is that it takes foreverto get the TV fixed if there is a problem. We go with a satellite company and find their tech support to be less than efficient. Neither my husband or […]
So, this summer I’m at a street festival in my town. I am thinking I want to try this new really cool barrette thing that will make a nice French twist.
I have my hair in this odd-looking new-fangled device made out of craft and wire. The lady doing the hair demonstration and the other vendor […]

blog down immediately. the use of our trademarked name and the picture

In Honor of John Galt
I passed a sign on US 191 that said In Honor of John Galt. I felt an immediate connection to an unidentified human being in that moment.
It’s a literary nod at a character in Ayn Rand’s Atlas Shrugged. Which, if you’ve never read it, it is revolutionary cult literature. Throughout the book people […]
In Women & Money, Suze Orman says women walk around as if they are “on sale.” Not for sale, because everyone gets paid to do something or has a monetary value applied to what they do, but on sale.
As in Clearance: 50% off!
This is wrong, Orman says, because if we don’t value what we do enough to […]
Once, in my cube at the travel magazine I was working for, there were two women in the cube next to me talking about Ally McBeal and how the Portia de Rossi character was always wearing a bun.
Who wears a bun these days? No one wears a bun, at least not young people.
I wear a […]
Suze Orman does seem to have her pulse on the minds of women. In Women & Money, she asks us to let go of some serious roadblocks to progress.
Shame and Blame are evil twins that keep us from moving forward in all kinds of things. Money is certainly no exception. Lord knows my marriage, like […]
I would like to point out that the argument this morning on The View about sex education was taken out of context.
Sex Education for Kindergarteners makes great headlines. It makes great television too. But, it’s really a non-issue.
I read an article, on CBN by David Brody, this morning which explained the original context of Barack Obama’s position on […]
Suzi Orman tells her story to get us to imagine what is possible.
Her story sounds more unbelievable than possible to me. She was an educated waitress who complained to a customer that she didn’t have enough money to own a restaurant.
So he chats with some other customers and they collectively handed over $50,000. What?!? Of course […]
