SUMMER IN JANUARY
If you live in the Northern Hemisphere, chances are you were wearing a coat, hat and gloves if you went outside today. If you are enjoying the heated indoors at present, that's great! But you have to admit it’s a little chilly, right? I don’t mean to tease, but the residents of the Southern Hemisphere, including [...]
ONE DAY AT A TIME
It was a full year ago when you were so inspired, that you made a compelling list of New Year’s resolutions. Which means- if my assumptions are right - it has been almost a full year of disappointment. Sorry to sound so negative, but who cannot relate? What is it about the New Year that [...]
Winter Wonderland?
Winter wonderland? Not for me - at least not growing up in Houston. In my youth, I can recall only two glorious days of snow falling in Houston. Those were amazing days when all the kids on the block spent the entire day outside playing in the snow, playing football, trying to sleigh down the [...]
The Value of Giving Thanks
With Thanksgiving Day fast approaching, it’s a perfect time to talk about gratitude (and to feel it, I daresay). Personally, I think expressing thanks is terribly underrated (unless you’ve read The Secret and you keep a gratitude journal).So what’s so important about showing appreciation? Well, for starters, it’s good for you! Yes, it’s scientifically proven [...]

Goodbye to Summer
I don’t exactly want to face reality these days. The morning chill tells me to stay in bed, keep the duvet on and not to move. And I don’t. Because if it’s dark and cold and I even hear the slightest bit of rain, I ain’t going nowhere.But there’s no stopping the seasons. What is [...]
National Grandparents Day is September 13th
There’s something about my grandparents’ house that always feels welcoming. Even though they keep the door locked and bolted, the moment Grandma lets me in, I am transported. There’s always something delicious simmering on the stove or a hot chocolate cake fresh out of the oven- not to mention a closet filled with all the goodies a kid [...]
A SKY-HIGH CELEBRATION
While I’m not one to celebrate every special day on the calendar, National Aviation Day (August 19th) is one that provides a great excuse to party. National Aviation Day celebrates both the history and development of aviation, which has undoubtedly come a long way- thanks first of all to the brilliant inventors, the Wright brothers. Orville Wright’s first flight [...]
“HAPPY BELATED BIRTHDAY!”
I confess. I’ve said those words too many times (emphasis on the ‘belated’). I hate to admit it, but it’s true. When life is busy, my schedule is chockablock or I’m just distracted by a million things on my to-do list, I do forget. You may be my best friend, my brother, even my child for heaven’s sake! Yes, [...]
Oh, The Places You’ll Go!
Yes I do love routine, but truth be told, this time of year gets me itching to get out and explore. School’s out, the weather is glorious and everyone else is going somewhere. You know that feeling? The streets are deserted, the supermarket is quiet and it seems like I’m the only one who is stuck in the city. [...]
