Kindness
I've written before on acts of loving kindness . I believe that we should all try to be nice and do good when possible. Today, while on our breather , I found someone who shares in my sentiment in a most beautiful way. A woman who lives in Newtown, CT, the sight of the horrific Sandy Hook ...
A breath of fresh air.
Taking a little (and I think much needed) breather. See you very soon!
A whole new level.
This weekend was pretty awesome. And it's been a while since we could say that so let me pause a second so I can knock on wood. OK, back. Anyway, instead of going to the shore or taking a day trip, we stuck around, walked down the empty streets, soaked up the sun and enjoyed our fantastic ...

That’s my dog. (!!!!!!!)
Be still my heart.

A glimpse into my future.
This morning, while I was on double kid duty, I had to discipline my daughter for screaming in her brother's face. I should say this: My daughter is pretty remarkable with her brother. She is gentle, she is kind, she is fiercely protective and fondly affectionate. But she's four. So sometimes she gets mad and yells ...
