I confess, I don’t have a bucket list. I never even gave one a thought before my dog’s life started winding down. I heard about a dog in Florida that had a bucket list, and I thought coming up with one for our beloved pet of 13 years might be a great way to shift…
As we wrap up our 100th post celebration, our Friday Five is an opportunity for you to check out a few other lists that may be of interest. There’s an option for every part of you! FOR YOUR MIND Goodread’s 100 Books You Must Read Before You Die. I assume because afterward it will…
We can truly appreciate the wisdom of our parents. “Because it’s in” is no longer a motivating force to make a purchase.

Tomatoes technically are a fruit (I know, I know, don’t put them in the fruit salad) and right now there are lots of…
Decreasing sugar in our diets is more than a fad. Study after study has shown negative effects from processed sugar including contributing to or exacerbating heart disease, memory problems, weight issues and affecting how we feel on a daily basis. New friend and community member, Pauline King (a/k/a The Contented Crafter), stated: “I quit sugar…
Mondays are probably not the best day to make assessments. You know – we’re all tired and not excited about going back to work, dragging after cramming too much fun into our weekends! So, no surprise that I find myself dreaming of surgery to reduce my double chin, sagging turkey neck and eye flaps while applying…
As you may have figured out by now, we are voracious readers. We read for fun, we read to learn, we read because we see something written that snags our attention or that may move us closer toward fiercedom! Here are 5 articles that caught our interest this week. I’ve been hearing more and more…
