Day 157/365 – On liquid dish soap

6/6/17 Here is a DIY recipe for liquid dish soap that I use. It’s simple, natural and cost-effective if you get the ingredients in bulk and then make small batches of the soap as needed. Hope you like it as much as I do! 

Day 155/365 – On high school reunions

6/4/17 I don’t want to age myself but…It’s been 10 years since I graduated high school! I can’t believe it! I was hesitant about attending the official unofficial reunion planned by a fellow graduate…in the end I drove up to the place with my husband, paused and stalled, and finally went in.

Day 151/365 – On the mundane

5/31/17 Recently I listened to a podcast about our attitude towards doing the ‘mundane’ things in life. You know: washing the dishes, feeding the cat, parking the car…etc. All these things that make up 90% of our lives, without a burning desire for us to do them, but they must be done for life to […]

Day 150/365 – On Thrive movement

5/30/17 Speaking of peace persevering over violence, I have a very interesting documentary to recommend – Thrive. Watch it today! Follow the money: who controls money, controls the world. But we can thrive, if we become conscious of what’s happening and what is possible. Just putting it out there. That’s all for today.

Day 149/365 – On Memorial Day

5/29/17 Memorial Day, for some people, has become just a holiday Monday that you get off work, go to barbeques and buy stuff on sale. But how many of us really commemorate the deeper meaning of the holiday? It honors those who have died serving in our country’s armed forces. And in doing so, it […]
