How old school is it to clean your house once a week or once every two weeks? Of course, if you live in a home with 800 square feet or less, this may be less of an issue, but even so … small home or large … a “deep clean” every week or two can [...]

The Beauty of a Bookcase
Do you have an old bookcase in your house? Perhaps it’s stuffed with books, papers & magazines. Perhaps it’s empty, or maybe it’s so full of “shtuff” that you’ve forgotten that it’s even a bookcase! A bookcase can be a handy and creative piece of furniture … if you let it. Sure, you can fill it up [...]

Don’t Kill the Baby!
So, I think I’m finally over losing all my work from my previous blog (on Blogger). I’m very disappointed in Blogger in that they never got back to me about helping me get my blog back — and, I think it’s a disgrace, and I’ll be sure to tell everyone I know not to use [...]

Losing It All
Last night, I discovered that my blog Girl From a Small Town (which was previously hosted on Blogger) was deleted. I deleted my Google account, and little did I know that that would completely eliminate my Blogger blog and everything I have written in the past three to four years. It was really devastating!

Can you believe that I can and will write an entire couple of pages about heartburn and gas? By god, it’s true, and I’m not ashamed to admit it. I know that if you are pregnant or plan to be in the future, that you are glad I’m touching on this disgusting subject that doesn’t [...]

Teach Me the Art of Focus
Can you really do anything you want to do in life? Is it true that no matter what you set your mind to, you can achieve it? Wow – how overhwelming is that? Even if that’s so, I wonder how some people can have so much fervor and ambition to make any one thing work [...]

On Being a Writer
Am I even considered a writer if I’ve never been published? I don’t seem to know the right people to get my foot in the door. In my heart I am a writer, but in my head I am not a writer – writers don’t make any money unless they get published, so how can [...]

Truth
I’ve been doing a lot of reading lately. Things that interest me … self education, if you will. I’m learning more on my own than I’ve ever learned anywhere. I think that might be because I am reading and taking the time to absorb what I’ve read and apply it to my own situations. Taking [...]
