This Week’s Blog Winner Is…

May 31, 2012 by admin

…Passionate Pursuits by Brenda Moguez!

If you haven’t read Brenda’s blog yet, you’re in for a treat. She weaves thoughtful, lyrical magic to all aspects of womanhood. Add the threads of sensuality and authenticity, and you get a blog that always intrigues!

While I’m reading Brenda’s blog, I’ve gotten surprisingly used to the sound of jackhammers. Yesterday I managed to do my Ellen Barrett DVD while they were going on! Gotta get my exercise, and Ellen, as you all know by now, is my fave.

In the meantime, have you seen The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel yet? It’s refreshing to see a fine film where older people are still vital, working, loving, and finding meaning in their lives. Judi Dench and Maggie Smith are just a few of the brilliant actors in this movie. Filmed in India, the chaos of Indian life is its own character, and many of the scenes were filmed among regular residents just going about their day. The beautiful line that threads the movie together is this: “Everything turns out all right in the end. If it’s not all right, it’s not the end.” The first time we tried to see it, it was sold out! Last night we were still sitting waaaayyy up front. Hollywood, we want more like these!

Remember that skirt I’ve been knitting? Well, next week I have a lot more to say about that. Let’s just say it’s been an “interesting” experience. I may also post a Tuesday book review. I know, I said I wasn’t going to do that anymore for a while, but I’ve been reading some great stuff that I want to share. Enjoy your weekend!

Sunshine Blogger Award

May 10, 2012 by admin

Thanks, Tina Fariss Barbour of Bringing Along OCD, for the Sunshine Blogger Award! Tina writes with tender honesty about her efforts to manage a life overshadowed by OCD, anxiety, and depression. Her posts educate, and her determination and resilience inspire. Tina, you go, girl! You’re awesome!

Here are the rules for this blog award if you are nominated:
  • Include the award logo in a post or on your blog (see the flower photo above).
  • Answer 10 questions about yourself.
  • Nominate 10-12 other fabulous bloggers.
  • Link your nominees to the post and comment on their blogs, letting them know that they have been nominated.
  • Share the love and link the person who nominated you.
So here are 10 things about me:
What are your favorite things to do? Exploring in nature, gardening, writing, travel, cooking, crafts…I have an endless list!
Where would you most like to travel? I’ve been fortunate to travel to many different countries. With my recent move to the Pacific Northwest, I have many travel opportunities right in my own backyard. I am excited about hiking the Olympic Peninsula, Vancouver Island, and other nearby areas.
Who would you most like to meet who is still living? Jon Stewart
Who would you most like to meet who has passed away? Louisa May Alcott
What do you think is the hardest thing to do? Bury a child. I’ve done it and don’t ever want to do it again.
What is your favorite non-alcoholic drink? Herbal tea, especially if it’s served in a really pretty teapot. With little sandwiches and chocolates and scones…maybe a little pre-tea champagne…oh, wait, I’m getting off topic. Sounds good, though, doesn’t it?
What is your favorite charity? Donorschoose.org. I love supporting teachers and schools.
What are you proud of? I know how to persevere, and I do not give up easily. Good quality for a book author with a *sigh* small audience. (The Foreign Language of Friends is only $1.99, by the way!) 🙂
What ambition do you still have? To learn how to treasure every moment. Life is too short to waste time with dramas, whether mine or others’.
What is your favorite flower? Purple irises and yellow snapdragons.
My nominations (in no particular order): I always enjoy these blogs!
