I’m done. While I will probably leave this blog online since all of the old posts still get visited frequently from search engines, I will not be blogging anymore. Here are some great bloggers that you may not know…but should definitely follow: http://www.hereticsblog.com http://cyndicated.wordpress.com/ http://putonahappyface.wordpress.com/ http://thecelebration.wordpress.com http://deweberdesign.com/ http://tonjac.net/ http://www.outstretched-arms.com/

What a great question. How much time do I spend trying to make people care? What if I spent that same time and energy trying to find people who already care (even if just a little)? And then what if I focused my efforts on helping them act on what they already care about? I [...]

This past week has been quite an ordeal. My 2 year old daughter has a Urinary Tract Infection which causes her to run a high fever and vomit sporadically. On top of the UTI, she came down with a case of pneumonia as well. I had to cancel my entire week to spend time with [...]

Her comment bothered me so much that I literally had to walk out [...]

Though it would be a shame for the multitudes to be deprived of my musings, I don’t write for the multitudes. Even though I do have Google ads in my RSS feed, I don’t write for money. And I think it’s great that many people have made a name for themselves through their blog, but [...]

For the first time and probably the last, I’m going to get a bit “political” in this post. With tax season upon us, I’m reminded of something that just drives me crazy every year: People walking around bragging about their big tax refund. Here are just a few of my reasons for thinking this is [...]
