Sweetening the Atmosphere…

by Robin on January 28, 2010

“Behave so the aroma of your actions may enhance the general sweetness of the atmosphere.” (Henry David Thoreau) I love it when an unexpected word of encouragement or simple kindness changes my focus and therefore changes my day. That happened to me recently when I was feeling lower than a bugs belly. Just a sweet [...]

Restoring Balance

by Robin on January 26, 2010

I wrote last week about being a bit out of balance.(HERE) I was feeling assaulted  by a hundred demands and couldn’t focus on any one thing long enough to be productive. I’m doing the 365 Project this year (the 411 on 365 HERE) and needed a photo for the day. With my:  “Balance… I’m out [...]

Balance…I’m out of it.

by Robin on January 22, 2010

Balance…I’m out of it. I keep hearing The Husband saying that word to me. “Balance…” I’ve decided that in 2010 I’m not going to ignore him when he says something I don’t like. I’m going to consider the possibility that God is speaking to me through him.  Aren’t I spiritual? Since I’ve made this very [...]

First, I’m having a Amazon Gift Card give-away…if you haven’t already, check out Tuesdays post and leave me a comment to be entered! I used to think it was all about me.  Maybe it came from being a first born who knows. But for years I secretly felt that the world revolved around me and [...]

by Robin on January 19, 2010

Hang on Friends…there’s a little Amazon gift-card give away at the end of this post! Holy cow I’ve been putting off this post. I’m feeling a bit like a failure and I avoid things that make me feel like a failure! In 2008 I read 52 books! Which for me was … well, really good! [...]

Haiti…how to help from home.

by Robin on January 15, 2010

I was scheduled to post on food today. But I just couldn’t. I’ve been watching CNN where Dr. Sonjay Gupta treated a 15 day old baby with a head injury. Her mother was killed … And a woman who stared into space one moment and screamed gut wrenching cries the next moment…she lost her 4 [...]

Ohhh, Pat Robertson…shhhhhh.

by Robin on January 14, 2010

I’m not a controversial kinda girl. I hate it in fact. I don’t think I’ve ever written anything on this blog that would be polarizing and make someone mad. This is not that kind of blog…I’m writing this and if you’re reading it,  then I hit publish. The chances of that are about 50/50 right [...]

You may or may not know that the deep South has been in a deep freeze for weeks. This “Southern girl who longs for snow” has learned a few things about frigid temps… 10~ I love the way frozen snow sounds when you walk on it. A very tight concise “crunch”. (Snow never gets a [...]
