If you read yesterday’s post, you know I narrowed down my eyewear choice to 9 frames. THESE are the frames I like the best. What do you think? Will I be able to see in them since they fall off my nose a bit? I figure I’ll just push them up. My husband...

We’ve been talking about the heart and mind, now it’s time to look at the body. When I say “the body,” do you cringe inwardly? Maybe you need to lose a few pounds. Maybe the aches and pains in your body are growing louder each day. Maybe the...

Since I have young kids (ages 6, 4 and 1), at least once a day¸ I’m saying, “It’s okay. Stay calm. Mommy will fix it.” Isn’t it true that we need someone to say that to us at least once a day too? Here’s when I need to hear those words: When guests are due for...

This chapter has a very funny story about my husband and me. I don’t want to spoil it for you so I’ll just say it has something to do with correcting my personal appearance and specifically my face! Talk about a touchy subject. The encounter was painfully awkward...
