Once again, I find myself pondering and soaking in the words that Mother Teresa had written on the wall of her home for children in Calcutta. It helps keep my heart clear, my mind free and my motives pure. May it be a blessing to you today… People are often unreasonable, irrational, and self-centered. Forgive them anyway. [...]
One thing I’ve learned through posting things on Craigslist…is that people do not keep their word anymore. We’ve put several things up for sale over the last couple of years, and before the item is sold, we experience the frustration of having a few “no-shows”. These *ahem* lovely people, set up a time to meet [...]
It’s been quite a ride starting my own business since the radio station was sold last August. I’ve joined the Sarasota Chamber of Commerce for networking in our community, and have really enjoyed voicing some great bits in my Voice-Over studio. However, push has come to shove and it’s time to overcome the lifelong fear of [...]
Remember the “good ole’ days” when you bought something, and it lasted? You purchase a camera…it lasts for 10 or even 20 years? You buy a car…and you drive it for 15 years and then hand the keys over to your teen? We recently purchased my mother-in-law a new microwave – even though her 1978 microwave still worked! [...]
I love being a Voice Actor! Why? Because, in a normal job I feel like a rambunctious 5 year old being told to stop playing, come in and wash up, because it’s time for dinner. Awwwwwwww Mommmmm! Normally, at dinnertime, kids hear phrases like; ”sit still, sit up straight, you’re talking too loud, don’t play with your food, finish [...]
I just got finished reading a life altering article about a woman who was face shot in the face in 2004 by her husband. She miraculously survived, but she lost her nose and upper jaw and was left nearly blind. He was only sentenced to 7 years behind bars. That woman has spent the last 6 [...]
Warning…don’t withhold sugar from your kids. My advice? Give your kids sugar, lots of it, or they will be permanently addicted to it later!!! My mom did not allow me to eat anything containing sugar, and it has affected my diet even at age 40. Due to some type of fluke concerning a blood test [...]
I am a major fan of redneck humor. Ya see, I grew up in Alaska and survived because of duct tape and baling wire and WD40! Thanks to my daddy! Recently a friend of ours was invited into their next door neighbor’s house to see what the old owner did to his livingroom walls. It seems he [...]
I have too much “Reality” in my life to be consumed with “Reality TV”. From what news organizations and publications have said, most of it is contrived “reality” anyway. Like, for instance, The Biggest Loser TV show. Yes, they are literally working their hiney’s off, BUT, they have doctors on the set at all times, they [...]
My daughter is exhausted from a slew of weekend activity! Friday- her first Prom, Saturday- photographer at Busch Gardens’ concerts, and Sunday-church photographer for Mother’s Day portraits. All in all, she took over 550 pictures, and that means she has several hours of editing and posting ahead of her this week. Ooof! That’s alot of [...]
