My Happy Place

Today I perform at the local zoo. This performance marks the first show of 2011…my fourth summer as “Kirsten, Queen of Theatre!” (www.queenoftheatre.com). Seven years ago I admitted to myself that what I really wanted was to be an actress. It was so ridiculous! I was an over-weight, 30-something mom of small children….living in a…

  This made me laugh which is a good thing. My entire family has a silly cold but we know: “A merry heart does good like a medicine. ” Proverbs  17:22. This is my Tylenol Cold and Flu 🙂

How we talk around here: “Lydia, can you please go tell the chickens I need three more eggs to make a dozen?” (few minutes later) “Mom, here’s two and I told Red Rhoda we needed one more and she said, ‘she’s on it!’.”   I remember a few years ago I was fixing Thanksgiving dinner…

I broke my own rule yesterday. If you’ve read my blog “How to Be Happy,” you know that I am very careful about what I allow in my brain. I have a standing rule for myself not to watch the news. The gift I can give this world is to shine, and I can’t do…

I love how she meanders in….and then rushes out. This one has been circulating the social media routes for awhile, but, if you haven’t seen it (or even if you have), I knew you’d enjoy it. Think of the hungry little birds waiting in the nest for their after school snack…and the little beak smiles…when…

First, it is a visual to my thoughts in the blog “How to be Happy”; choosing where my mind roams affects everything in my life. Sometimes I just have to say, “Hush, Brain!” Second,…

  This just makes me HAPPY!!! How about you?

I have a friend who is the life of the party and everyone laughs at her stories…yet she is always worried about what people think of her. I have a daughter who is not scared of a thing but chooses to not play with children other than her siblings. I have a brilliant sister who…

Last night I was curled up in bed reading and I heard the little voice, “Go check on the bunnies”. I don’t usually spend time on the bunnies in the evening. They are in an enclosed area and I feed and water them in the mornings. I decided to be on the safe side, though,…

“Let them eat….GREENS!” Today marks Day #1 of garden harvest. What is your favorite fruit, vegetable or herb from your garden? I can’t think of anything that beats a garden-fresh tomato. Have you ever tried sliced garden tomato with a sprinkle of sugar?  I also, however, really love a plump, purple eggplant.  Do you grow…
