GREEN GARDEN GODDESS

Christina's daughter gave me a gift and as I wrestled the gift bag out of her hands it was a beautiful,colorful cup with flowers and the words, Plant Happiness- Harvest Joy "Garden Goddess" O I'm changing my name from ,"Gardenist" to the," Garden Goddess", if that's OK with the universe.

The MOMS group was yet another good meeting,eating and sharing fun stories. All my paperwork was locked in the secretaries office and I ended up talking about Tigers World and the Blessings that…

PUPPIES UNDER A BLUE TARP

Wow , Bridgette woman with a heart of gold to the Rescue.

I'm sure her intentions were honorable but "13" puppies? What was she thinking when she saw the quivering puppies that were abandoned when the cold spell swept over Florida?

The county had tried to protect them by putting a blue tarp over the outside cages but..with no mothers to keep them warm it was a do or die thing and…

Complacency, Comfort & Challenge 2011

I sometimes take it for granted that I'll always feel this good.Getting comfortable and eating any food was always the answer when I sat down to write the days journey.

They are not called boobs when the waistline is the same size..It's called fat.Extra stuff that continues to grow unless you make that decision to make a change. It's your health for 2011.This is truly the one way we can be in…

Cremation

Yes , I got a lot of Shiny stuff for Christmas, the special one was . A mother and son silver necklace.

This was the most amazing gift and it came from Eric's brother, Jamie. I keep writing about it over and over. It had to be one of the toughest things he has every done in his life.

Some people cringe, some smile and some just look at my gift in awe and say I wish I had thought of that when my (fill in the blanks) died.

It's a vial for the ashes encased in the…
