As April neared I was barraged with challenges: from the Photo of the Day, to The Magic‘s 28 day program, to Script Frenzy. Being prone to the 3 C’s (Competitive, Creative, and apparently Cranky when inactive) I thought, not only would I attempt all three of those challenges, but I would create yet another for myself. This one I hope you will all consider joining with me. It’s simple. Walk for 30 minutes every day. Start today. If you miss a day, make it up by adding time on another day, but try, try with all the might of a serious challenge, to walk each day.

When Darkness Steals a Place at the Table
I must admit, lately I have been feeling a bit sorry for myself… I know, a blogger needs to uplift and transport her readers to a better place, and not, as this post seems to be headed, into a place of self-pity. But, quite frankly, I am rather out of sorts… My life has brought me to a place where I am questioning WHY ME? much of the time… You must know that place, where you look up from your dinner and see that the table is peopled with some pretty sour faces… Maybe even a few uninvited hooded guests… ? I know you must have had a string of evenings like this somewhere in your life… After all, our world is filled with people struggling with all sorts of issues, from homelessness, unemployment, terminal illness, and ________, yes fill in the blank with whatever woe is currently hounding you.
恭喜發財! Happy Chinese New Year
Happy New Year! Yes, again… but this time it is the Chinese New Year, providing us with a chance to once again
welcome wealth and prosperity into our lives. One of the most interesting customs of this holiday, at least to me, is that of gathering with your family. During this auspicious week, all over the world, millions of people are getting into cars or planes or trains, to return to their parent’s home to welcome in the Year of the Water Dragon. Honoring your ancestry is the center point of this tradition, and I just love the dedication to family inherent in this shared celebration.
