Turn on the Spotlights
I think I get my frugal and prudent spending habits from parents who were products of the Great Depression when every penny counted. My Mom would sing out “Shut off the lights! Turn up the air conditioner!” And, in the winter, “Turn down the heat and put on a sweater!” I see her in me.…
Clean Out and Clean Up Time
Accidentally, I threw a towel into my wash with my black slacks. Oops! Hello Lint! You know. Those little fibers from that towel were all over those pants. I proceeded to pull out my trusty, sticky lint remover roller to remove all those tiny balls of lint. Because I was so passionate about what is…
How Can I Say Thanks? Maybe by Showing it!
Yesterday was Ash Wednesday – the day that kick-starts the season of Lent and continues 40 days through to Holy Thursday just before Easter. Many of us who were hard hit by the ice and snowstorms over the last few days, look outward to our snow and ice-packed streets. Many are reeling from electric, water…
It’s Hump Day aka Holy Wednesday of Holy Week
In the workplace, we call Wednesdays “Hump Day”. That’s because it’s smack dab in the middle of our work week and, HALLELUJAH, the weekend is in sight! Just two more days and it’s the weekend!

Easter is the Answer to EVERYTHING!
As I was on my morning walk, I saw this sign in one of the neighbors’ front yard. I looked around at other homes, and it occurred to me that there were no other reminders that the Easter season is here. Even at our local stores — Easter décor is pretty slim pickin’s. To think…

Making Room for God
Day 50 of Photo Inspirations — Making Room for God! Let the MAKEOVER begin!! I’ll admit it. I love reality TV shows — watching real people endeavoring to win a competition or watching personal makeover shows that radically transform someone, like “The Biggest Loser”. And I love the “Fixer-Upper” Show where they take the worst…
