Did you check out Nancy Maskin on Oprah?
She weighed in at 703 pounds and lost 530 of them. She was a shut-in for 12 years.
Her miracle? The Internet.
Because people couldn’t see her, they couldn’t dismiss her. It was her first contact with the outside world in which she wasn’t invisible. Through people in political chat rooms that […]
I saw this documentary about the Dionne Quintuplets and thought there were some relevant similarities between them and one of Discovery’s reality shows, Jon & Kate plus 8.
According to The Free Dictionary:
The Dionne Sisters were born in 1934, and were the first quintuplets ever to survive their infancy. The odds were one in 57 million.
Two days after Annette Lillianne Marie, Cécile […]
I won a contest I didn’t enter.
The concept of Law of Attraction very simply goes like this: You attract what you think about.
When I do Yoga, I have yet to master thinking nothing. A blank mind is something I’m unable to accomplish for more than two seconds. So, instead I try to meditate on something […]

Once or twice a year parts of my very large extended family descends on us and my world becomes a blur.
I spend most of my time at my grandmother’s house enjoying their wonderful company and making sure my kids get the maximum exposure possible to their cousins.
It’s delicious. Both literally and figuratively. We all make our very best […]
Kate over at Babylune writes about why it’s so hard for Mama to get hot after having children. I kind of like her theory because it’s plausible.
Isuspect that if there is a solution to this dilemma, we won’t find it in popular culture. Sexual desire, sexual politics, firey flirtation and displays of desire are always […]
There was a story in the Wall Street Journal about the executive women of America and how they identify with Hillary Clinton.
These are the women who have sacrificed a great deal and put up with a lot of crap to make it to the boardroom. They have put up with the discrimination, endured the sexual […]
Excerpts from The Secret Scrolls:
The only thing standing between you, happiness, and the life of your dreams, are two words…
THANK YOU
Einstein said “thank you” hundreds of times every single day!
It is impossible to be negative when you are giving thanks.
It is impossible to criticize or blame when you are feeling grateful.
It is impossible to feel […]
I need a few things to get a good night’s sleep.
* Children who sleep through the night.
* To drift off before my snoring husband.
* No cackoling roosters.
On a moral scale of 1 to 10, with 1 being completely immoral and 10 being Jesus-like goodness - just how immoral would it be to hunt the neighbor’s roosters […]

You only thought you had great pie before.
My Baskin Robbins Pie is - well, out of this world really.
I first had it at a family reunion when I was a little kid. I never forgot how wonderful that pie was. When I grew up I learned how to make it.

I read this blog about a mother’s struggle to insure her special needs children - the real kind - in our current insurance system. Her child is being dropped because the insurance company isn’t making any money off insuring her.
Basically once they are in the hight risk pool, normal insurance will never cover them again, even […]
Did anyone else see that Oprah where author of WOMEN’S BODIES, WOMEN’S WISDOM, Dr. Christiane Northrup said that we should make joy a discipline to be physically healthy?
Dr. Northrup had some great gems that have stuck with me.
* You have to give up the idea that you can do it all if you want to […]
