30 Day Blogging Challenge – Day 24: What Attracts You?

Day 24: What attracts you (in love) Back in my younger (say back in college) days, I would have to say that things like kind, caring, sense of humor, funny would be at the top of the list (still are) and of course being good looking wouldn’t have hurt either…. The definition of what is […]

How I did in 2013

Hopefully you’ve all enjoyed my blog and continue to do so in 2014 The WordPress.com stats helper monkeys prepared a 2013 annual report for this blog.

30 Day Blogging Challenge – Day 23: Winning the Lottery

This is very much like the Daily Prompt challenge I did the other day Winner – where we were to write what we’d do if won a billion dollars…. No strings attached, No taxes owed. What I would do, if I won the lottery, really depends on the amount (which isn’t specified in this challenge). […]

Daily Prompt Challenge: BrainWave

Today’s daily prompt challenge is “BrainWave“ The idea is to write on a great idea that you had, but I’m going to rebel…. I don’t think I’ve ever had a really good idea. Not that I haven’t had good ideas, on small scales, from time to time. Just not anything that’s really worth writing/bragging about. […]

30 Day Blogging Challenge – Day 19: Favorite Movie

Day 20: What makes you happy I won’t say nothing makes me happy, but I don’t go around with a smile on my face all the time – in fact, sometimes I look downright surly. Often times I feel to tired to smile. I guess the one thing that makes me smile is watching little […]

Writer Wednesday Blog Hop – A Look Back.

We’ve (gosh it’s been so long since I’ve hosted, I’m not sure I should still count myself) decided to take/go on a hiatus (brain cells have ceased to function on which is correct expression) for the next couple weeks. Instead we are looking back at our favorites… Little hard for me to do as I […]

Now I get to today’s 30 Day blog challenge….. Day 18: A photograph of yourself Originally, I was going to do today’s challenge first, but realized I didn’t have a good photo to use.

30 Day Blogging Challenge – Day 16: thoughts on Education

Day 16: Your thoughts on education. My thoughts on learning, in general, is that it is a life long process. You should never stop learning. I’m not sure where this saying originates from, but one I’ve heard my husband quote many a time – “The older I get, the more I realize the less I […]

30 Day Blog Challenge: Your Dream Job

WWBH (December 11, 2013) – My Story

As she pulled up to where the “Support our Heroes Day” event was being held, Barbara could see that there was a huge crowd of people. Barbara was all for support of Fire, Police, Paramedics, and Military Personnel, but being exceedingly shy and withdrawn kept her from most gatherings like this. She tended to do […]

WWBH Blog Hop (December 11, 2013)

This week our gracious host is Leanne from Writings and Ruminations (or should that be illuminations – she certainly illuminates through her writing) ******************************** The chill of an icy morning is cozy from the inside, where sandalwood candles warm my space, and a cup of hot coffee warms my soul. Winter has certainly blasted its […]

30 Day Blog Challenge: Your Favorite Quote.

Actually there are two that I really like…. The first is one that my mom liked “Life can only be understood backwards, but must be lived forward” ~ Kierkegaard What’s that saying? “Hindsight is 20/20″. Things only make sense (sometimes) after the fact. Often times experience is the only real way to learn. The second […]

Daily Post: Learning Style

Today’s daily prompt by “The Daily Post” is Learning Style what is your ‘Learning Style’? I am a “learn by doing” kind of person. It’s fine to show me a time or two, but if I don’t get in there and do it just doesn’t connect. I’m sure this drives my husband batty. He seems […]
