I love the world of blogging. It took me awhile to fully embrace it and when it first started, I was a bit of a blog hater. I saw it as pure narcissism and just one more opportunity for folks to focus on themselves and tell everyone else how wonderful they are. Walter likes reading …
So, thanks to the internet, I now know that this is a thing. And a wonderful thing at that! Today is National Dog Day, and I saw the photos come up on Instagram and FB before I really knew what it was. And then, of course, went ahead and posted pics of my 3 fur …
I am typing this from my room at the Gaylord Texan where I have been happily retreating since last evening. (Room service for one) Scott is at home with the boys (and two of their friends) while I am here alone enjoying room service, a quiet room and my books and music. It’s lovely. And …

I just got done listening to a great Another Mother Runner Podcast where they interviewed Greg McMillan about running a sub 2 hour half marathon. In the wee recesses of my brain, it’s a goal I had entertained and actually have hoped to achieve. This is what I look like when I run happy! Listening …
I am currently at Walt Disney World and I asked my friend (really more like a sister), Joy, to guest blog! What she shares here is vital so read and share with those you love! Also, go check out her blog at http://www.joybowen.net/! See ya next week! I’m not a runner. Hopefully that doesn’t make you …
