2012: The Year of Happy. Join me.

I know Saturdays are mostly for reviews here on The Sisterhood, but I don’t have anything to review right now. So, if you’ll forgive me, I’m going to step away from the Saturday Review today and talk about something else. Recently, we’ve reviewed our 2012 letters to ourselves and written 2013 letters to ourselves and [...]

The Saturday Review :: Training

  OK, you got me. This isn’t a real Saturday Review in that, I really don’t have any products to review. But, it’ll be sort of a review if you stick with me. I promise. You see, Thea has put a knife to my throat and made me the other day I was having a [...]

A Thanksgiving Day poem

Each year I get excited as Thanksgiving grows near because to me, this means The Holidays are here! I get up Thanksgiving morning; I travel oh so very far (two hours), to my grandmother’s house I drive in my orange car! After my journey, I greet my family with kisses and hugs I walk back [...]

Welcome to another edition of True Confessions, the post where you get to confess all of your unhealthy sins from the past week.

Oh, Oatmeal, how I love you so…

On cold winter mornings when I was a kid, For school I would wake, barely opening my eyelids. I stumbled and mumbled my way down the hall To the kitchen from where my mom would call. At the breakfast table, a bowl appeared before me and I opened one eye and what did I see?! [...]

Writing Assignment :: For me, it’s basketball…

I walk onto the court and over to the rack where the balls are kept. I carefully choose which ball that feels best in my hands. I smile as I turn and walk to an open hoop. I love the sound the ball makes when I dribble it. I love the sound of many balls [...]

Thank you, Life, I have enough lemons now

A friend told me last night that she had taken a personality test that told her she was a perfectionist. I nodded in agreement. “I am not,” she said. “Oh, you so totally are,” I replied. That conversation made me think a bit, and I fully admit to being a perfectionist as well. I won’t [...]
