OK, I know, I am preaching to the choir. I get the feeling that most of the visitors to Jane Be Nimble are fellow bloggers, so if you are, you’re writing often. But, hey, if you’re not a fellow blogger, email me to say hello or comment here, I’d love to meet you, and why…

Guest Post By A Nimble Man – Josh Hanagarne
You’re in for a surprise today—a guest post by my cyberfriend and blogger colleague, Josh Hanagarne. About a month ago, I happened across this kind, strong, and twitchy guy, who also has access to tons of books as a librarian. How cool is that? Talk about nimble! I’ve kept my eye on him ever since….
Start A Blog
Why I started a blog and so should you. I enjoy reading blogs, but I formerly avoided commenting to blog posts because I didn’t have my own blog. I felt weird about it. I thought the author and other commenters would think my opinion wouldn’t count because I wasn’t brave enough to start my own…
Your Body is a Fortress, Part 5 – Your DNA Suitcase
There’s a lot to talk about when mentioning the word, ‘DNA.’ Lots. One aspect of DNA that I came oh so very close to specializing in (but not quite) is how all that genetic information is packaged. Think about this: stretched end-to-end, you have about six feet of DNA in every cell of your body….

Nature is just enough; but men and women must comprehend and accept her suggestions. ~Antoinette Brown Blackwell (1825 – 1921) I happened across this video a few days ago and I couldn’t help but to post it. Nature and music, combined, embodies nirvana. I hope you enjoy this video as much as I do. The…
The Thirteen
Happy Friday! A reader emailed me yesterday and asked me about the thirteen books taking up space in my living room. So, I thought I’d post today about those thirteen books. Getting to know me, getting to know more about me…(play the tune in your head for effect)… Letting you peek at my book stack…
Clutter Capades
A Description of How I Removed Clutter from My Life The sky darkens as I pour a glass of merlot and get to work. OK, hot shot, let’s start with the desk, I mumble under my breath. Letters, koans, stickers, checkbooks, a pen cup, ruler, sunglasses, a spent movie ticket, a flash drive from a…
Unleash Creativity
Each of us harbors innate creativity—we were born that way. Drawing, singing, dancing, painting, and telling stories are a part of us. Whether we enjoy them or not, or consider ourselves “good” at them, we are hard-wired to create. Do you remember if anyone was required to teach you how to finger paint or to…
Liking the Lichens
I took myself out on a date recently, just me, myself, and I. I try to do this about once a week, as some of you may know from my guest post at Quest for Balance, to fill my cup. I grabbed my camera for this date, which I don’t do as much as I’d…
