“Honey, I shrunk the dinner!”

I don’t know about the rest of you, but our microwave oven is an expensive popcorn maker. I have no idea how to cook in a microwave other than making popcorn. I truly believe that they can’t be good for us, it’s not a healthy way to cook. (Truth is: I never figured out how [...]

Nonsensical Dating Advice Floating Around

I put out a request on Twitter a few days ago, asking men to privately message me about dating advice they were given for a blog that I wanted to write. I was pleasantly surprised at the number of men who came forth and shared some dating advice they’d been given. A lot of the [...]

I’m a Pepper…You’re a Pepper…

Wouldn’t You Like To Be a Pepper Too? Lately, when I can actually center and concentrate on that whole meditation thing, songs pop into my head. I control myself and don’t sing along out loud. I’m getting better at not disrupting the class. Can I hear a collective, “good going!?” When I go for a [...]

Music Inspired by Literature

The Postman, the Zookeeper and a Diamond Pig

During the summer, I facilitated creative writing workshops for children ages 4 to 10 years of age, teaching them how to brainstorm as a group and write stories, giving them free reign on their imagination. There is nothing more endearing than listening to youngsters brainstorm a story. In honor of Tasty Tuesday (Pork Loin – [...]
