A good friend and I discussed the concept of a “Blog.” She said the idea didn’t meld well with her sensibilities because she associates blogs with diary entries, and she believes diary entries should be kept private.

I don’t usually do more than one post a day, however, today is an exception. Yesterday saw the passing of Wangari Maathai, 71.

So if you have anything you’d like to share send it over to thankfulforamillion@gmail.com. Thanks for all […]
That brilliant girl is my niece. No, not the one in the T- Shirt, the one in the Hawk costume. Thanks to Facebook, I found out she’s the mascot at my Alma Mater (her soon to be Alma Mater). As soon as I saw this picture, I thought… “How cool!? That’s awesome that Nya’s doing […]
Lately, I’ve realized that many of us have time that goes unused. I don’t mean to be unfair. I should note, I don’t think that YOU have time that’s being wasted. Only you can know that for sure. I definitely see areas in my life where I can better manage my time, and I’ve talked […]
