25 Random Things
There was a meme that went around Facebook ages ago in which the poster listed 25 random things about himself/herself. Since I’ve recently made a lot of new friends on Facebook, I thought I’d revisit it here.
I’m the youngest of 6 kids (and have 18 nieces and nephews…and I’ve lost count of the great-nieces and great-nephews!).
I once drove 2,000 miles (from East Texas to Los Angeles) for a concert.
I love working at and visiting amusement parks, but I don’t ride rollercoasters…or...

SongPop & Memories
My newest game obsession is a Facebook app called SongPop. The way it works is this: you (or your opponent, depending on whose turn it is) choose a category; a snippet of a song plays, and you choose the correct song or artist from the four choices provided (a total of five times per game). Simple, but sometimes challenging.
This game is interesting to me on a number of levels. It’s fun seeing what songs and artists and genres my Facebook friends are most familiar with. It’s fun s...

Live in the Now / Carpe Diem
My closest friend has been doing a lot of questioning and soul-searching lately, and in the course of doing so, she started reading up on Buddhism. We’ve been discussing Buddhism and Taoism and some of the tenets thereof, and the one that’s been on my mind most is the idea of living in the moment.
The basic idea is not to dwell too much on the future or the past, but to fully live each moment as it comes along. On the surface and in a general way, this makes a lot of sense to me....

The Importance of Keeping Music Alive
Think for a minute about some of the roles music has played in your life. Have you ever used a silly song to help you remember something (if you learned your alphabet as a child by singing the “ABC” song, then you’ve done this one!)? Have you witnessed music bringing people together or bonded with someone over music? Have you seen anyone using music to rally people? Has a song ever changed your point of view? Made you think? Lifted your spirits? Made you feel less alone in the world?
Now imag...

Making a Difference for Kids with Autism
Today I’m featuring a guest post by Nicole Storey. Nicole is the author of the awesome juvenile fiction series Grimsley Hollow, and she’s here to share a little information on autism and the GreaterGood Network.
When my son was diagnosed with autism at the age of three, I was devastated and lost. I had no idea who to turn to for help. Thankfully, a dear friend advised me to go on the web and search for autism support sites. I did, and found many parents treading the same turbulen...
