Hug a Tree? No Thanks!"That's the one!" I squealed to Amy, my Realtor, who in turn squealed her tires.

I've been pivoting away from a few bad-feeling thoughts recently. I could probably use a good pair of basketball shoes and a big swig of Gatorade for my efforts.Some days, if it weren't for the Abraham-Hicks philosophy, I might have no recourse but to flush myself into the septic tank of worry. I'm so thankful to know that I ... More..

When her daily housework was done and supper was on the stove, she would check out the neighborhood from each of three windows in our living room.

Studies show that optimistic people are healthier, better adjusted, and more productive. They also get more bugs in their teeth when they ride a bicycle (while grinning), but that's a small price to pay. ... More..

How I Got Here From TherePeople often ask me, "How did you get into humor-writing?" (Actually, people rarely ask that, but I'm sure the question burns within them, so I'll address it here and now.)As a mom with two little boys, I became a freelance writer.
