I too am very disturbed by the way this is being dealt with in the media. In my heart, I feel sad for Michael and his family as anyone with compassion would, that being said, before Michael passed on he was seen as a has been, a freak of sorts with…

That would have been an awkward moment for me as well. I hate snakes. I know they play an important roll, I just prefer they play that roll as far from me as possible. I have friends that have snakes as pets. I don't hang around when the decide it i…

Steve The Snake

Steve The Snake, as the story was related to me; It happened one cool spring morning. My husband Scott was doing some masonry work at his brothers house. He was down by a shed about to return some tools when the encounter took place. Just as he w…

I believe that God knows our hearts and our intentions. We all bear the responsibility of the roads we choose to travel and the reasons we travel them. That being said, just be aware of your heart and you will be fine as long as you are being honest…

The Question Of The Day Is...

Are moods contagious? I have to say, yes they are! I know I'd much rather catch a good one than a bad one any day! What kind of mood am I spreading around? How about you? So much of this mood stuff seems to be done on auto pilot though I'm not so…

The Wall

I sit down to write but the words won't come. Why? My best guess is I'm guilty of self censorship and for me, as soon as I begin to censor myself creativity shuts down. I wonder why I'm compelled to do this. The thing is I don't only do it when I'…

Alison Shreiff replied to Blindogg's discussion 'Let's talk Bad...' in the group The HOT Seat -

One incident comes to mind. I was in Kindergarten and our class had gone to another room for some sort of activity (bear with me as my memory is hazy) when we returned to our regular classroom I realized I had brought back a pair of scissors, so I w…

She is a wonderful singer. I saw a clip on the news the other morning and yes Simon couldn't say too much negative could he?

I saw a tidbit of her on television. Wow what a beautiful voice. I nearly spit my coke across the room when I saw Simon's reaction. He tries so hard to be a jerk, and he had no where to go. great stuff.

Shai Adair commented on Alison Shreiff's blog post 'A New Path'

I've never been good at writing every day either. I hear you! And as a mom with little ones, I find that my mommy needs get ignored; swept away with laundry, dishes and the application of Hello Kitty band aids on various boo boos. Maybe you found th…

Through The Eyes Of Ignorance

It's all over the news these days, Susan Boyal, the Scottish woman who wowed the world and the judges with her amazing voice when she sang on Britains Got Talent. What a beautiful soul this woman has. She is so humble and wise when I hear her speak in her interviews and so forgiving of a… Continue

A New Path

I'm really excited about writing again. I used to love it so much and then I got away from it. I can't really even say why. It's one of those things that just happened and I didn't know how much I missed it or what it meant to me until now. It's a release. Funny thing is I noticed t… Continue
