Here it is June, almost half way through the year. I know many of us make New Year's resolutions in January about being healthy. How are you doing? By the way - I did a little research - did you know that 45 million people a year go on diets…

Responsibility

, , ,
As a woman, all my life, I've coddled and placated people when things haven't gone right for them, saying things like, "I understand”, or “I know how hard it is". Until today.  I have reached my limit for being able to listen to the blame…

"It's not a problem, only an inconvenience"

, , , , , ,
I have to admit it.  My husband, Jim, is the smartest person I know. We've been married since 1988 and together since 1983.  He's always been there.  My rock.  The guy who puts up with me and my crazy ideas.  Although he still cringes…

Think and Grow Rich - by Napoleon Hill

Looking at Achievements - Here's to 2011!

, , , ,
So. . . 2011 is here.  We have bucket lists.  We have goals. As a newbie to Facebook, I have noticed people posting when they are working on something or when they have finally accomplished "it".  I think that is one thing Facebook has…
