I recently happened across a peach of a writing program—just a simple text processor that brings back the peacefulness to writing. It’s called, Omm Writer. (Currently in Beta V2 and only available for Mac users, sorry to you PC folks out there.)
I knew I’d love this application when I went to the home page, and [...]

Front Porch: My Sensory Deprivation Tank Experiment
If you follow this blog, you know I host the Front Porch series where I write about everyday stories, just stories that folks talk about on front porches, back yards, or in break rooms in snippets during the day.
I recently read a book, sent to me by a dear friend, called “Surely you’re joking, Mr. [...]
RAOKA: Passion
February Theme: Passion (chosen by Dani, author of Positively Present )
As this month passed by in a flash, passion was on my mind.
As I’ve said in a previous post, what is on our mind makes us see “it” more often in our daily lives. That’s why I love RAOKA so much, it turns my head [...]
I Love Your Mind
Our Amazing Brains!
I spend a lot of time in awe and amazement thinking about our amazing human body: the physical component of our human body, and the emotional and spiritual side. I love the body so much I earned my B.S. in nutrition and Ph.D. in molecular biology so I could understand it better. What [...]
Front Porch: Life Through Mia’s Eyes
In January, I visited a wonderful blog that I quite enjoy called Writer Dad and was surprised by finding the most amazing young woman. It happened that Mia, the daughter of the mastermind and author of Writer Dad, Sean, was guest posting that day. I was in for a treat!
At that post, she let us [...]
Ten Favorites
Sami, my blogger-buddy extraordinaire, posted a sweet post yesterday, which was inspired by Jeanne, another awesome soul.
Quite simply, it’s a call to action to name ten favorite things as well as ten favorite blogs.
I’m still blushing since last night, when Sami posted her “Ten Favorites” and included Jane Be Nimble as one her ten favorite [...]
Panglossian Effulgence
I’m not sure how or when my logophilia took hold.
Two favorite words I’ve recently discovered comprise this post’s title. In case you’re like me and have no idea what these words mean, I’ll save you a trip to the dictionary:
Panglossian • \pan-GLAH-see-un\ • adjective
: marked by the view that all is for the best in [...]
Random Acts of Kick Arse: Gratitude
This month flowed with gratitude.
And when I say flowed, I mean like Niagara Falls!
Sami’s awesome RAOKA leadership has resulted in something special for me—almost like a cosmic shift. I have noticed repeatedly in my world that if one looks for something, one will find it.
A tangential example: a close friend of mine recently had a [...]
Vacay
Hi all. Thanks for all your smileys in your comments at my Smiley post. How fun was that? Just remember, even though I’m not posting about my beliefs about commenting here, my “Smiley Policy” holds for all my posts. Sound good?
I had grandiose plans to continue posting three times a week while we are on [...]
Smiley
I’ve built this blog slowly, earnestly, and with my best intentions.
My goals for my blog are few:
1) A vehicle to connect with others
2) A method to be of service to others (i.e., to make a difference for at least one person)
To that end, I’m super happy about how these blog pages have unfolded and the [...]
