The Wave

Have you ever felt like your life was an ocean? And you the surfer? The events that occur are the waves large and small that carry you forwards and backwards through time.  The waves eventually coming closer and closer to this place in the future; not coming towards a final destination but a place that is your ideal place in your life, a dream place.  Eventually you will stop riding those waves and get to that place where you can enjoy other types of adventures far less dangerous and uncertain as the ocean.  You just have to ride the waves long enough to land on the beach.

I’m pretty sure my life, from my obvious perspective, is a tsunami. And I’m not peacefully ebbing and flowing, rising and falling, but thrashing and crashing and clinging to my board as I am thrown by gusts of wind repeatedly from one white cap to the next while trying to kick my feet frantically in the water to propel myself out of the storm. And all the while, I’m not letting go of the board.

Is this just me? Anyone else?

Fresh Mango Smoothies

Fresh Mango Smoothies

I absolutely love smoothies, and what is better than a fresh, fruit smoothie as the weather begins to warm?  Mangos are awesome and awesomely good for you, but extremely hard to serve.  Check this little recipe on making fresh mango smoothies!

The Importance of Organization

Organization:

Organization is something that I think most people take for granted. For example, when you walk in the front door after a long day at work, are the keys left in a jacket pocket? A purse? Hung on a hook?  Or, who knows what was done with them? When you go to get your mail, do you bring it inside and then add it to the growing pile on the kitchen table or the coffee table?  Do you open it all and then stack the open envelopes and letters in a pile after barely glancing at the contents?  Is your refrigerator full of old and new food alike, mixed with take-out containers, tupperware and ziplock bags?  How about the closet, that space between your bed and the floor, or that shelf you can barely see in the top of your cabinets, are they full of miscellaneous junk you didn't know what to do with? And the car, is it pristine like the day you bought it? Or is that another clutter story?
