They say you find true love when you stop looking for it.
I sure wasn’t looking for it when I was slurping my soup during a crazy work day this afternoon. I was juggling the phone in one hand and a spoonful of yummy organic soup in the other. I was blowing on my spoonful as quietly as possible, in hopes the caller would be unaware that I (being oh so professional) was eating on the phone. And that’s when I saw it.
There was a little carrot in the shape of a heart staring up at me. And I knew right then and there¦ food really does …

I’m not sure if it’s the dropping temperatures or if I’m officially addicted to caffeine, but something seems out of place if I don’t have my fingers wrapped around a hot cup of something-or-other.I dig any type of hot beverage. I have an intense tea collection and I brew a cup at least once a day. I also have at least one cup of coffee a day. And if a Crock Pot happens to present itself with a filling of hot apple cider and mulling spices I’ll be sure to get a few ladle-fuls.

œDid you just give her the family discount?
œYeah, she’s my neighbor. I’m trying to work on my karma.
œDo you even know what karma is?
œYeah. It means she owes me one.And that would be a quote from one of my favorite movies; Me and You and Everyone We Know. The character in the movie is obviously a little misguided in the meaning of Karma, or the belief that “what goes around, comes around”.
Although the line is amusing, sadly, it rings true. It seems that many people are afraid to do something simply because it is a nice thing to do. Instead they want to know “what’s in it for …

Over my recent holiday weekend, my mother cracked open my childhood bedroom door and whispered “Breakfast is ready… come on down.”I sleepily walked down the stairs anticipating the usual when-I’m- at-home breakfast of creamed chipped beef, scrambled eggs, fruit salad and English muffins.
As I entered the kitchen I was surprised to see my parents and brother-in-law frantically writing on tablets and reading through children’s resource books. Apparently, my seven year-old niece was playing teacher and had given everyone in the house a writing assignment. They were to read the books they were given and write a report on the topics in the book.
I assembled my breakfast on my plate …
