Sometimes you have to take the leap and build your wings on the way down. In the new forty that is what I am doing – building my wings.

Find your crazy good…

August 28, 2010 Ms. CLeave a comment

There is an old Yiddish saying that asserts, "All of us are crazy good in one way or another." Isn't that the truth though?  The trick is in finding what it is you are crazy good at.  Some folks seem to lean into it when they are young and know most of their lives what [...]

Define virgin…

August 27, 2010 Ms. C3 Comments

That Fifi is killing me.  Yesterday she sent me an email with a  subject line that read: 50% Off For VIRGINS! Ok ... Open It Anyway‏ Really Fifi? I am in the new forty...I mean - seriously.  To have maintained virgin status at this age - wow - that would be quite a feat (especially [...]

We are powerful beyond measure.

I have a quick read for you today embodied primarily in one long quotation that I hope will remind you to dwell in possibility and to live beyond the parameters folks so often bind themselves in with.  We underestimate the human spirit - we have the power to be anything and everything based on our [...]

August 25, 2010 Ms. C1 Comment

Audrey II has left the building...well, at least the home (see Everything is bigger here...).  You see, Audrey II is a Spathiphyllum, more commonly known as a Peace Lily, and they are "mildly toxic" to cats.  Of course it doesn't say anything about that on the tag which offers plenty of other information about the [...]

Everything is bigger here…

August 23, 2010 Ms. C1 Comment

She who wants to nap…

August 22, 2010 Ms. C3 Comments

I don't often get an opportunity to take a nap - even when it is clear I need one - but yesterday I took the opportunity to take a nap.  I am the kind of person who can take a short 20 to 30 minute nap and wake up refreshed.  So I laid down and [...]
