Nothing I could say today would be anywhere near as profound, revealing, and truthful as what Kelly Diels says about “Nice”. I trust you’ll enjoy her thoughts and can relate to them on some level. Nice Girls and Nice Guys Finish (Middle) Class Have a blessed and peaceful day.

I am trusting you might find it nourishing and delicious for your soul as well. Hit it, Danielle! step …

Natural-ly, Powerful-ly, Amazingly Smiley

April 11, 2010 Angie 0 Comments

Several months ago, I worked through a book by Danielle LaPorte called Style Statement: Live by Your Own Design. I rock when I am living 80% Natural, 20% Powerful. You’ll have to read it understand what that means. Trust me, it’s cool mojo. This time of year really makes me want to step up to …

Elephant Logic Part 1: Now I See Pink–Bring on the Straight Jacket

April 10, 2010 Angie 0 Comments

Flashback 1981: A group of about five thirteen year olds managed to convince management that we met the criteria for…..duhn…duhn….duhn……… Gifted and Talented. And I was one of them. And no, you don’t get to have an opinion on that, so there. I still don’t know how I “passed” that test, especially after the pattern …

Elephants are Stalking Me, but They Aren't Pink So I'm Still Sane

April 9, 2010 Angie 4 Comments

A few days ago, I mentioned some Wound-Licking, Truth-Telling, and Under-the-Bed-Clearing that I felt like needed my attention. That began a series of dialogs with some close friends about how best to gently but effectively lance and lick those wounds without causing major collateral damage. Two important facts here: 1) I’m good at generating collateral …

The Strong Life Test: Teacher-Motivator

April 8, 2010 Angie 2 Comments

Yesterday Danielle LaPorte’s new digital book experience, The Firestarter Sessions became available for pre-release purchasing. Since I’m more or less a “spend every penny you’ve got” sorta gal, and since I had just made a small, yet adequate deposit into the massage business bank account, AND since I could justify/rationalize it as a business expense, …

Wound-Licking, Truth-Telling, and Under-the-Bed-Clearing

April 7, 2010 Angie 4 Comments

Four years ago, my spiritual life changed radically. Four years ago, much of what had always been constant, solid, and unchanging changed. Four years ago, feelings were hurt, heads were butted, and backs were turned. Four years ago, I had to step away from something rather than try to fix it. Apparently it wasn’t mine …

Watching Man-History Repeat Itself–It's All Mom's Fault

April 6, 2010 Angie 2 Comments

Yesterday I confessed to the many love affairs I have had in my life. I have had the housekeeper, the gardener, the farmer, the construction foreman, the electrical engineer, and more. And yes, they are all the same guy, my sweet man of 20+ years. One might say he’s quite multi-talented……or you might say he’s …

Confessions of a Desperate Small Town Diva

April 5, 2010 Angie 0 Comments

You just can’t keep a secret in a small town. Someone will eventually find out and then you’re busted. So, I have a confession to make, because it is time to come clean, and I’d rather break the news myself than be outed by everyone else. Wow. This is so…uh….embarrassing. How to begin? Yeah….so…..it’s like …

Celebrating Life, Spring, and My Hunky Farmer Boy

April 4, 2010 Angie 5 Comments

It’s Easter Sunday morning, and for probably the first time since I was conceived, I won’t be at an Easter church service. It’s been almost a year since we went to church….any church. It’s nothing personal at this point. I’ve just got better things to do. That used to really bother me, and I guess …
