Reading...  Sex At Dawn . Taking my time, making my way through this one. Sex & Pearls, how appropriate? They do go hand and hand, wouldn't you say? The pearls made it easy to digest, I guess. Sex At Dawn - have you read it? "How we mate, why we stray, and what it means for modern relationships.  Here's some of the things you'll read about on the inside:   W hy long-term fidelity can be so difficult for so many.  Why sexual passion tends to fade even as love deepens.  W hy many middle-aged men risk everything for an affair.  W hy homosexuality persists in the face of standard evolutionary logic.  W hat the human body reveals about the prehistoric origins of modern sexuality."    I'm looking forward to it. If you've read it please share your feelings on this work and what, if anything, did you learn from it.     // Feeling...  happiness. In this moment I'm grateful for the happiness that I...

Are you a blog reader, like me? Do you find yourself getting lost in the world of a blogger and not minding it at all? Do you feel like you know them and in some way have become a part of their lives? I do. All the time. Today I share some of my favorites with you. I've been blogging for the past eight years. Since then I've met some amazing women and men. I love what I do. I love blogging, sharing my life, my perspective on things, and the things I love. I love to read other's blogs who do the same. I learn so much from them and about them that I feel like I know them. I feel like we are good friends. Do you know what I mean? When I follow a blogger's life through their blog and stories I become a part of their lives. Sometimes they know it and sometimes not. But the joy that I get doesn't come from them having to know. Many of these men and women I've never met in person but I feel like we have, and I hope to meet them some day.  Just...

It's been a few weeks since we've been back from our trip to Jamaica. I can still hear the ocean and smell the sand. I can still feel the vibes of our entire weekend. And certainly haven't forgotten about all that delicious food we had!  Below are some pictures from Friday nights beach barbecue. It was a beautiful evening, thanks to  Half Moon Resort  chefs and entertainment.  The food was so good I wish I could have taken some home to eat the next day. There was so much to choose from and enjoy.   The weather was perfect. The music was just right. The people, the great conversations over dinner and after, the fact that we were getting ready to celebrate the union of our close friends, made the evening extra special. I was in heaven and so was David. It was an experience we will never forget and we wouldn't want to.  After dinner everyone gathered around to watch a hermit crab race.  ...

Everyday I wake up I want my children to see me do a better job than the day before. I want them to look at me and be proud to be my child.  The other day my son said to me, “Mom, I’m proud of the way you handled the lady at the library. I thought you were going to get upset with her like you did the last two times, but you didn’t.” He noticed.  Our children notice things we don’t think they do. They pay more attention than we may realize. And our children are like sponges, soaking up everything we say, and do. When he said that to me I was proud of my choice to respond to the librarian in a different way. I purposefully went in there determined to create a better situation and environment for myself and my children. It’s been an uphill battle concerning our library cards. From being incorrectly charged over a hundred dollars, to suspending my children’s cards because they couldn’t get passed my security gate at home to make a delivery so we got blamed for havin...
