In memory of max.

Tuesday, May 29th, will be the anniversary of our wedding day.  I would like to write an entire post about the amazing character of the charming JIM and how happy I am to know him.  The truth is that there is not much time for the deserved tribute these days.  I have been in the consuming process of applying, interviewing, and ...

You may remember this post from a few months ago.  Since then I have wondered how I could stop collecting so many items.  I, like many other people, like to give gifts.  It is fun to consider the person and pick out something that I think will make them smile, but I also feel that we could never use all of this ''stuff.'' ...

I am a believer in the power of small acts of kindness and I almost feel that I am cheating this week, as small acts of kindness are basically what Love Thursday's are all about.  Throughout my life, many people have given me hope in dark times simply by offering me a moment of calm or laughter in a hectic period.  One of my best ...

The prayer is being offered for a disarmed world, with the hope that the 1982 U.N. ...

This Love Thursday is all about teaching the lovely little redhead in your life (this means you Betty :p) bad habits.  Exhibits A- I: How to hit me with your best shot How to stuff your cheeks with too much food How to floss with the telephone How to play with scissors (and eventually run) How to play with fire How to cover ...

  I love real mail.  It takes time and thought to send someone an actual letter or postcard.  When I was in Thailand, I received many wonderful things from family and friends.  I even decorated the area above the bed (where I rarely slept) with mail and filled a David Lynch box with the letters.  This made me feel closer ...

I took this picture earlier this week. At the time, I thought that I felt terrible. Today the picture seems more reflective of this moment. We like to write about love on Thursdays, because it provides us with shimmering moments of hope in an occasionally gray/blue world. The goal is for these sparkles to outshine the darkness.  The ...
