One of the girls at the office (I’ll call her M) doesn’t like staying alone late at the office at night.  George is supposed to be the ghost of a man that fell down the elevator shaft in our building in the early 20th century.  We actually still use the same elevator today, or at least […]

So obviously I haven’t been posting much lately.  We started a new paper route, a different paper route and it seems like I have less time than ever.  It’s honestly just that I’m poorly managing my time.  I’m working at getting better… starting with the extra coupons that we end up with from the new […]

I’ve got 4 kittens that are free to a good home… or any home other than mine.  They think I’m some kind of new cat toy, the kind you climb on and sink your teeth into.  Ouch! So I haven’t been posting as often this week.  Not for any real reason other than it’s time […]

Three of my kitties are stalking my toes right now.  They’ve mastered the art of living in the moment. Hoever, living in the moment needs to be balanced with planning ahead.  That’s something that we’re supposed to learn as we get older.  The question remains, how many of us actually get past the stage of […]

It’s been an interesting week and it’s only Monday.  It’ll be something to see how this week goes, though I doubt we’ll see the end result until after October 1, if not later.  I’m still not entirely sure what to think about the job situation.  We were told that our department is going to change to […]

So my ‘normal’ writing may dry up.  That’ll mean more time to blog… The owners of the company I write for are selling.  I just wish I had enough money to buy it for what they’re asking, which  is lower than what they’d ask from someone who is not one of their regular writers.  The […]

“Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink; or about your body, what you will wear. Is not life more important than food, and the body more important than clothes?” ~ Matthew 6:25 Something I’ve learned over the last year.  I need to stop worrying about things […]

I was reading something from a copywriting course that I signed up for, and it got me thinking.  They suggested that if I want a niche to write or blog about, I should find something that I’m passionate about.  The question remains, what AM I passionate about?  What do I find interesting enough to do […]
