Sassy Spirit

As time goes on, I realize there is really only one key to happiness, but it changes shape. The key is yours to hold forever.  It takes a certain amount of wisdom to know this.  Some never get this.  I’m trying to teach my seven year old this concept.  He’s the middle child of five…

Yesterday my Mom and Dad took my kids, hubby, and I, along with my daughter’s boyfriend, my sister and her husband, up to New York City to see the Christmas Show at Radio City Music Hall. Kids loved the LEGOS store and the girls loved Sephora. I even got a Vegan dinner at John’s on…

I came up with this term earlier in the week. I think we can use holidays as reminders of what’s really important in life, like family and counting our blessing.  Not like the forced, obligatory type of…we should be grateful for_____.  We are not always grateful during any given day and the holidays can be…

I have a wonderful life.  It’s always getting better.   The holidays are one of the times I really feel it the most.  I look at those who have lost loved ones, have no family or the unhealthy dysfunctional kind, or just have so much less than I do and I send blessings.  If I could,…

I just cooked up a quinoa breadstick recipe. I have been staying away from cheese, but added it because the recipe called for it. My youngest son, Seamus, and I were calling in Quin-cheesy-roni because we added veggie pepperoni. It was okay.  I’d need to tweak it. I topped it with hot peppers and it…

Is it possible to feel like what your job actually feels like play? Growing up, I didn’t know that was possible, but jobs look glamorous through a child’s eyes.  I thought my parents’ jobs looked cool.  They looked really fun.  My dad was a bartender.  That soda gun with different flavor was power, baby.  He had limitless…

I remember watching this soap back in the 80’s and loved that there was a character named Jennifer. I also remember Kim Delaney being on All My Children, playing a character named Jenny. I loved being home from school to catch all the good TV. From game shows to talk shows and my soaps I…

Did you ever get so busy you put salt instead of sugar in your coffee or do something you normally do on autopilot, but somehow you short circuit. Today I was getting ready to do an interview and I was rushing around. It was done on video so I had to make sense of my…

I was driving down that road and saw a billboard that said “Approval Patrol” on a picture of a few people looking very serious.  It was a funny thought I had, thinking of how we sometimes live like there actually is an official Approval Patrol. Every day we do wonder what others will think of many different…

That saying we’ve heard before. The idea that we’re in it for ourselves and shouldn’t befriend people we see as competition or that we don’t have anything to gain from. That looking straight ahead at a goal mentality that I admired in the go-getter vibe that successful people seemed to have. This 100% never worked…
