gratitude

Teachers deserve a nice, relaxing drink after nine months of hard work trying to shape and inspire all of our budding little Einsteins. So parents, if you're looking to have a little fun with teacher appreciation gifts right now, this might be a perfect idea.

It's Teacher Appreciation Day today, and to some of the hardest working most generous people I know, I want to say thank you for all you do for so many of us.

December 26th is National Whiners Day, and it's not an excuse to moan about what we didn't get for Christmas or complain about a relative that got on our nerves over the weekend. Instead, there's one simple thing we can do to observe this important day.

A free concert this Sunday in Boise will focus on gratitude, and it will benefit the Idaho Food Bank as they get ready for a big week of service. This will be a memorable way to kick off Thanksgiving week.

It seems to me there are two types of people.  Those who love Valentine's Day, and those fear it.  I'm usually more the latter, but this year, it was really nice.

Ladies!  We need to stop the madness. The negative self-talk starts as soon as we wake up in the morning, and we tell ourselves we're not good enough off and on throughout the day.  Anyone else tired of that routine?  How can we stop it?

As I reflect on 2015 this Thanksgiving, it will always be a meaningful year in my life for a number of reasons.

It struck me last night while watching my feed with complaints and comments about the Republican Debate; we are so lucky to have the freedom to have the "issues" we do. I think my generation (I'm in my late 30's) has not had to face the reality of fighting for our freedoms quite as personally as generations before us...

How about a little inspiration for the week!  I love this song and I love to be able to share them with you from time to time.
