Another Year, Another Thousand Resolutions

There are few things in this world that I appreciate more than a shiny new Daily Planner. Yes, I realize that every morning gives us all the opportunity for a fresh start, but there really is something refreshing about a New Year.  If there wasn’t, there wouldn’t be a whole pile of people signing up

Giving Thanks for Giving

Well, it’s the last day of the year and I’ll summarize my last 5 days as well as my feelings on the Project as a whole. For my 27th Day of Giving, I gave thanks for always having a place to live as a kid by donating to Life House in Duluth.  Life House helps out homeless youth [...]

Bless the Beauty

Bless those who bring beauty to the world, who bring light, who bring laughter.  Bless those who see beyond the daily, the tolls, the taxes.  Bless those that make us ponder, smile, pause, perhaps cry. Bless the artists. Bless the music, the paintings, the sculptures, the written word. Bless the bea

For The Little Ones

Matt and I owe a lot to our siblings.  After all, we couldn’t be Uncle Matt and Auntie Julie without their assistance! Being that we don’t have kids, we occasionally get referred to as DINKs (double income, no kids) but I prefer to think of Matt as a PUNK and myself as a PANK (professional [...]

Don’t Have a Cow. Give One.

Satchel Paige’s famous quote – “How old would you be if you didn’t know how old you are?” should be twisted slightly when you feel the green-eyed monster taking over – “How rich would you be if you didn’t know how rich you are?” I remember feeling embarrassed in college because my car was old, [...]

United We Stand

“I am only one, but still I am one. I cannot do everything, but still I can do something; and because I cannot do everything, I will not refuse to do something that I can do.” – Helen Keller If there’s one thing I’ve learned this month, it’s that there is no end to amazing [...]

Cookies and Juice

“Cookies and juice, cookies and juice, a little pint of me for some cookies and juice” (singsongy voice) I am NOT a huge fan of needles, but really, who is? I’m also fairly fond of my blood staying within the confines of my skin where I feel it belongs. I’ve invested a lot into it, [...]

Bundles of Unconditional Love

It’s not surprising that I ended up as a pet person and not a kid person. Or that I’m not that stylish as an adult… Pets come with a whole set of benefits that ideally outweigh the headaches and heartaches.  They lower blood pressure, listen without judging and love unconditionally.  They keep you i

Spreading Smiles

I’m incredibly self-conscious about smiling in photographs.  Hate it.  Just hate it. When I was in 4th grade, I got schmucked by a thrown baseball bat and lost my front tooth.  The first tooth I was fitted with had to be replaced when I was about 16 or 17 and before it was replaced, I [...]
