Take Two

Since my lovely embedded Brandon Heath videos suddenly are now only available for viewing on You tube or Brandon’s website, I’ve changed out the original videos for new. Thanks to Namas Daisy’s comment about being a visual learner, I found a couple videos that include the lyrics for the songs. Sorry for the malfunction. Enjoy!…

Morning Tunes

Are you living your life without regrets, yet? This week’s assignment was to write a letter to someone you would like to express your heart to before it’s too late.  Ask them to forgive you for the ways in which you might have hurt them. Extend your forgiveness to them for any pain they may…

BAD Summary: Get the Good Stuff

[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qjAqdo0EE2M[/youtube] This is one of my favorite songs. The lyrics seemed appropriate for Blog Action Day. I have been stunned by the amount of terrific content gong out today on Poverty for Blog Action Day. For a quick Yellow Pages of the best I’ve found today, read on. Amy encourages us to get off our…

For Sale: Ran Great Yesterday

“I’m at school. The car won’t start.” Silence. “Did you hear me?” “Yep.” Silence. I wait, breathe deeply, squash my irritation and panic, and try to remember all the things I love about my husband. All I can think about is where I need to be in an hour, and how am I going to…

No Regrets: Looking Ahead

I’m a firm believer that God orchestrates our days. He sends hummingbirds to flit past our window, gives us red lights to slow us down, and places people in our paths to accomplish His plan for us. That’s what has me nervous. You see, this week in my 30 days journey, the prevailing theme seems…

Who Moved my Bed?

I’ve been up all night studying for a Psychology final, and most likely have NO business writing anything for the public, but since writing is a compulsion, I settled in front of the computer with 2 sugar cookies and a cup of coffee, all the while thinking, “I’m sure that Havi and her duck are…

A Second Helping of Wisdom from the Net

This is my second week of daily blogging, and boy, was it a doosey! The blogging community has been absolutely amazing this week. I have laughed, cried, stayed up late at night pondering the words of other writers, and spit coffee all over my beautiful Apple.  Just in case you chased a white rabbit down…

Naomi’s bold, smart, and daring writing style draws in a large crowd of loyal readers to Itty Biz, her blog designed for small businesses seeking marketing tips and services. She weaves sarcasm, humor, solid advice, poignant personal experiences, and…

Do You Write Pork Rinds or Meatloaf?

How do you begin a post on the quality of content without whining or going on a rant? I am greatly disturbed by the number of websites I find that tout Content is Not King, become a millionaire in 3 months, or 10 SEO rules to get #1 ranking in all three search engines. My…

The Dash

Living a no regrets life. Sounds like a wonderful plan, doesn’t it? I often find myself thinking about an event from my past and thinking, “I should have done it differently. I wonder what would have happened if I did it this way?” I think it’s the daydreamer in me, but I catch myself imagining…

30 Days to Live: What are Your Regrets?

What would you do differently if you found out you had 30 days left to live? Would you go home and hug your kids (instead of yelling at them to be quiet so you can work)? Would you take your wife out on a date and watch the stars till 2 A.M.? Would you make…
