My Journal
I have been writing since I could hold a pen, so being a journal keeper comes naturally to me! In my Inspired Girl blog, I share bits of my heart with random thoughts on loving life, learning from lemons, and being saved by grace.
3 Things for Tuesday
Live: Reenacting the Wizard of Oz. LuLu was Dorothy, Little Man was Toto, and I was Auntie Em, Glinda, the Wicked Witch, the Scarecrow, Tin Man, Lion, and the Wizard. Love: The cashier at Wegman's remembered my son's name, and she met him 2 months ago!! Little things...
The Snowball Effect: Take One Small Step
Creating change is like rolling a snowball. At first, it's not packing, the snow is a little soft, it's taking a little time to get it rolling. But, if you stick with it, soon , WOW, watchout world! You are rolling a snowball bigger than you ever imagined. If you've...
3 Fixes When In Need of Chocolate
I told someone I was craving chocolate. She immediately said, "Oh, you're going to go off today? I had a day like that last week." Hmm. Go off what? The deep end? The ledge? The merry-go-round? Of course, I knew what she meant. I'm a woman! But, I just smiled. There...
3 Things for Monday
Live : Laying in the grass with LuLu and Little Man counting each others fingers and toes. Love : My first cup of coffee was heaven. Learn : We rely a lot on power, but it's really fun to 'disconnect' and do things the old fashioned way. Our power went out for a few...
Midday Break: Have a Protein Shake and Dream Big

Happy at Work: Tips to Bring the Passion Back (or Find a New One)

Sunday Morning Inspiration
There's something about singing that connects us. I'm not the best singer, but I just love to belt it out. This song by Jeremy Camp is a great reminder that we can walk by faith, even when we cannot see, and even if the road seems "broken" it's all for a purpose....
Sunday Brunch: Lox with Cream
I've opted for something a little salty today, it's a play on the traditional Sunday morning cream cheese and lox on a bagel. And, it's a bit healthier, too. But, don't worry, it's equally (if not more) delicious. Today's Sunday Brunch is lox with homemade cucumber...
The Caterpillar Came Knocking
Last night while the Little Man and I were out food shopping, Michael and LuLu were on the porch. A caterpillar was crawling at Lu's feet. According to Michael, she jumped about a mile high. She was scared, and didn't want it to crawl up her leg. Michael explained to...
The Student and The Teacher
"Just as we are all students throughout life, we are all teachers." ~ A Course in Miracles And, what’s interesting is we teach what we most want to learn. We often go into various fields not as a teacher, rather as a lifelong student willing and wanting to share what...
Midday Break: Spread Happiness

From Scratch: The Power of Creating
The other day I took the kids to the craft store. Armed with $2.00 each, they were on a mission to pick out something fun we could do on a muggy day. LuLu spotted modeling clay, and exclaimed, "Play dough shaped like crayons??? Ha!! Mommy, that's PERFECT!" The Little...

Embrace Rain in a Warm Milk Bath
It is raining today. LuLu, Little Man, and I are on our front porch just watching it fall. The kids are calmer on the porch when it rains - it relaxes their energetic little bodies. And, it is such a wonder to witness the drops covering the blades of grass and Lu's...
Midday Break: 5-Minute Exercises
Exercise and movement is essential for our well being. It is the key to longevity, our body is as old as we think it is. If an 84-year old man is training for his 200th triathlon, it's apparent that our body can do amazing things when we believe we can, train it...

Get Up and Dance Tonight
It's a Monday night, but that's no reason not to get up and dance. Single, married, dating, with kids or without, crank up some music and dance around your house. Dancing, whether we have rhythm or not, is a great way to boost our heart rate, lift our spirits, and...
Midday Break: Present Tense = Not Tense
How many people can describe in full detail his/her drive to the food store? Can you recall the make and model of the car in front of you? Do you know exactly how many traffic lights you crossed? Most of the time, our minds are somewhere else. We’re either in the...
