Time...we all have the same amount each day. 24 hours 1440 minutes 86400 seconds How we use it is unique to our personality and says a lot about ones' character and priorities. Once it's gone, we can't get it back. That's why we should value each second, each minute, each hour and not take time for granted or waste our own...or someone else's. Promptitude is not only a … [Read more...] about Are you anally early or lackadaisically late?

Do you like people for who they are or what they can do for you?
I've contemplated this in the past but this week it really hit home so let me ask you.... "do you like people for who they are or what they can do for you?" Now bear with my random thoughts here as they go from the movie, Mr Deeds to The Bible in Mark 12:44 ~~ yes, I know...two different realms but follow me. We've all heard stories about how when someone has money … [Read more...] about Do you like people for who they are or what they can do for you?
Vegan desserts, cupcakes
Just found a new vegan dessert cook book here by Claire Gosse. The pictures look tantalizing! I'll be making some of these and posting pics and updates. I have been trying to eat vegan food more often, even got my puppy Navyaz vegan dog food because I know that's great for him. I watched Cupcake Wars this evening and Chloe of ChefChloe.com and on Twitter … [Read more...] about Vegan desserts, cupcakes
What makes you come alive?
Ask yourself what makes you come alive, and go do that, because what the world needs is people who have come alive. -- Howard Thurman My daughter and I recently took a mini-vacation to Charleston, SC. Even with the fact that we were only gone for four days (and part of that was driving to and from) the time there was relaxing and thought provoking. The days were … [Read more...] about What makes you come alive?
Work and play
How many people work a large portion of their adult lives in a career or JOB they don't truly enjoy? I know many many years ago people had the mindset of "go to college, get a JOB, retire, die" and that was it. It didn't matter if they actually enjoyed the JOB or not. It didn't matter if they got bored with it and wanted to change their line of work, they simply stuck to it, … [Read more...] about Work and play

Well, it's almost that time of year again. I'll be 42 on 1/20 (yep, not afraid to say my real age!)

Instant gratification?
Are we in an instant gratification society now? According to UrbanDictionary.com it means 1)immediate satisfaction; the quick attainability of happiness or of contentness. Yep, that sounds about right! Food is now instant, you can take something from box to microwave and have a "meal" in matter of a minute rather than cook from scratch. We have instant coffee, instant … [Read more...] about Instant gratification?
Caroling
Today, Dec 20, is "Go Caroling Day" I had never really given it much thought, but here in S. Florida I've never (in 24 yrs) seen anyone going door to door Caroling. Anyone know why? Do any of you go caroling? (post comment below if you have any thoughts) … [Read more...] about Caroling
Gamestop ~ excellent customer service!
Wow, in under 20 minutes from my last post I've had two excellent customer service encounters! First one...lets just say I will not be buying games from Target ever again! All games will be purchased at GameStop #1667 Boulevard Square 10900 PINES BLVD Pembroke Pines FL, 33026 (954) 392-3838 Because, last night after my ordeal with lousy Target service, I called … [Read more...] about Gamestop ~ excellent customer service!
Lousy Customer Service thoughts
Yes, I know it's the holiday season...it happens every year like clockwork. Christmas, then a few weeks later my daughter's birthday. Knowing that stores don't often restock items in time to wait to buy her birthday gifts I get them at same time as Christmas. So, if something I order online isn't in stock right then it's not a problem (or shouldn't be a problem) since odds … [Read more...] about Lousy Customer Service thoughts
