HAPPY NEW YEAR!

Where does the time go? The years seem to be flying anymore. I recall a New Year's eve from childhood when my mother wondered the same thing. The pace of the world seems to be much faster now than it ever has been before. Why, it feels like only yesterday there was so much concern over Y2K and now here we are entering 2006. The march of time just keeps on. As we leave 2005 behind us, and the many tragedies it rendered across the globe, let us look to 2006 with hope for the promise of renewal. May you be blessed with abundant good health, happiness, and prosperity in the coming year!

Merry Christmas!



It is so easy for us to be swept up in the commercial tide that washes over America during this holiday season. In this time of birth and renewal, take a moment to reflect on the many blessings you have received during the last year. This may not be easy for some, like me, who are driven to perfection and use a ridiculously large yard stick to measure the world. But I try, as Christmas comes every year, to remember how truly blessed and fortunate I am. In my mind I hear a phrase my mother has used since I was a child, "As long as you have your health you have everything!" Empty words to a child, so meaningful to an adult who has watched loved ones weather health crises. May you be blessed with love, peace, joy, and, especially, good health, not just during the holidays but always.
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
Take a moment today to tell someone you love them!

Be Careful.........the walls have ears!

It never ceases to amaze me how ignorant people can be. Why are so many people saying the media is biased and out to get the Republican party? Where have these people been? Until recently, W and his cronies were completely above reproach in the media. The man ordered a war to serve his own purpose and ordered the illegal wiretapping of American citizens. He and his administration have done more to violate our rights than anyone. Yet people believe it is the media that is out to get him. PLEASE!!! Bill Clinton was skewered and brought up on charges of impeachment for lying about a personal affair. Meanwhile, his administration brought the country out of debt and into enourmous surplus. With W in office, violating our rights, we are now in debt deeper than ever. Of course W, Cheney, and their cronies are now enjoying financial success as a result of this war----and the natural disaster relief efforts here at home. Somebody needs to wake the citizens of this country up.

'Tis the season...


Well, I know it's been over a month since I posted to this blog, but I have been swamped with end of the semester work. There have been so many things that happened during the past month I would have liked to have commented on, but just never seemed to find the time to log in and write. Oh well! As the holidays rapidly approach, I will make every endeavor to please my audience. Ciao for now!
