There is one very frightening thing in my life. Something that has been consistently the greatest, most out of control, and detested bane in my life. My cross to bear, if you will. You may be wondering what could possibly inspire such negativity? One word. Hair. You read that right. And I'm not alone. There are plenty of us out there who have more bad hair days than good. And I have been a firm member of the Bad Hair Club for years. Let me set the scene for you a little bit. My hair is super thick. Emphasis on the super. I could literally donate some to three … [Read more...]
30 Random Acts of Kindness Revealed.
Since tomorrow is my birthday, I thought I'd finally share my 30 Random Acts with you. This year has been a little difficult; I've either been sick, injured, or recovering from either one of those, so it took a lot longer than I expected to complete. But I did finish them. Some were done multiple times, but I'm only counting them once. And there are probably a few I'm leaving out, but here we go! 1) Gave a stranger a sincere compliment. 2) Baked a cake for someone. 3) Returned a stranger's shopping cart. 4) Gave a bottle of water to a Salvation Army bell … [Read more...]

A Sea of White.
If we had more land, do you know what I would plant?I read a book years ago that described a cotton field as an, "undulating sea of white." Of course, the quote went on comparing the field to the ocean with waves and sea life - really wish I could remember more of it because it described the feeling of looking at a field full of fluffiness perfectly. Oh well, I will certainly never be confused with one of those people that can pull perfectly profound bits of wisdom and obscure quotes off the top of their head. . . In fact, I actually forgot how old I was for an entire … [Read more...]
