I wrote the following post for my theater group newsletter. I had so many people comment on the email that I wanted to share it with all of you…
Kiss Me Kate and Shock Me Ural – Mixing it up with The Old and The New!
As I navigate this path called life I am always looking for clues, patterns and ideas for life satisfaction (beside petting as many dogs as I can on one day). I have many thoughts on this matter, but will focus on one life lesson in this post. I had an epiphany during my exercise class this morning.
Go Ahead… Make Someone’s Day
The other day at lunch my friend Diane was excited to announce, “Ooh Linda, I have to tell you a story. You inspired me!” Of course I was going to be happy to hear whatever she had to say, but sometimes that sentence is met with equal parts trepidation and hopeful curiosity on my part…
Summer Reading (Jodi Picoult) Inspired by Social Media (Wolfgang2242)
In 2007/2008 (eeh gads… ten years ago!) I went through a major Jodi Picoult phase. I devoured every book she had written on the very same lawn chair from whence I type today. I loved her CSI approach on topics that were “ripped from the headlines” and how she braided fictional stories around true and life shattering events…
Grab Your Group and GO to the Beach/Lake/Park…when everyone else is LEAVING
As I made my way to the beach with my group the other night just after 5pm, there was a cavalcade of happy beach goers laden down with various beach accoutrements trudging in the opposite direction of my arrival tide. They were sandy and ruddy from the sun and the good cheer of a day well spent at the beach. But they were leaving. Which is why I was arriving…
Grab some Sugar and Butter and MAKE MONKEY BREAD!
Today, on my kid’s fourteenth birthday, I woke up early to treat the birthday twins and their delighted assembled friends to a Monkey Bread Breakfast (with a side of fruit to compensate for the less than healthy merits of the main dish)…
Considering Your “Corner” Stores
I am not sure why I had it in my head that the hair on my particular head was worthy of the top dollar prices I was paying for it’s maintenance. But I did get into this mindset, until one day I decided to try something new…
Grab your RENTED sweater, coat, dress, earrings, bag and GO!
I confess, I am not a fan of shopping. Trolling through clothes on display at the store is like torture to me. Fortunately, I have found a solution…
9 Things I Learned From My Year of Yes
To commemorate the final year of my 5th decade, I dubbed 2017 as my year of yes. I made a very deliberate choice to spend the year being open to every opportunity that was presented. The goal was to commit to more, to experience more and get out of my comfort zone more. It was, by far, my richest and most rewarding year yet…
When you’re Going to Grab Your Group… Who do you Grab?
And… we’re back! Took a bit of a blogging break to grab some time with my family and friends as we careened towards summer’s finish line. Now I am back in the city, that if you can’t be inspired here you can’t be inspired anywhere, and I am ready to get back to it. But before I do, I want to offer a few words about what I mean by group…
