A Greeting Card Collection
Can a Christmas Card or a Birthday Card be better than a gift? I’m sure many people would answer that question with a resounding NO! My answer would be a resounding YES! No matter what occasion or what holiday is being observed or celebrated a card is a special remembrance of that moment in time.

A Happy Thanksgiving Family Story
Holidays, with all their work and frustrations and anticipations, are still special opportunities for family members to bring out the best in each other. Memories of those family gatherings are heirlooms of our lives just like the family china that was used to serve those special holiday dinners.

A New Year Can Be A New Start
Time marches on and sometimes it flies; so it comes as no surprise that every December 31st, a brand new year arrives. No matter what type of timepiece, you use to mark the time, don’t forget to celebrate, by saying Happy New Year and singing Auld Lang Syne. Do you have any new start ideas?

A Thanksgiving Spoonful of Sugar
Holidays are conducive to remembering holidays from our past but they are also times that we should be creating the holiday memories of tomorrow. While I’ve had many memorable Thanksgiving holidays, the one I’m about to focus on is the one about to occur and an imaginary spoonful of thankful sugar.

Celebrate Unconditional Love On Mothers Day
Once Upon a time a child was born. She is my child. Mothers all over the world have shared my experience of giving birth and raising a child. We have many things in common but probably the strongest emotion most of us share is unconditional love for our children. This Mothers Day lets celebrate it!

Cherished Always - Memorial Day Wings to Fly
On Memorial Day when you enjoy your picnic or parade or shop the holiday sales, remember to take the time to also cherish and pay tribute to the people who gave you both your roots to stay grounded and your wings to fly to your highest aspirations. Don't forget to remember!

Christmas and the Falling in Love Fantasy
According to the lyrics of the classic Christmas song, The Christmas Waltz, Christmas is “… the time of year when the world falls in love.” In fact, if you watch holiday movies and the commercials that go along with them, you would believe that everyone does fall in love at Christmas. True or false?

Happy Easter - Happy Spring!
Spring has sprung. For many of us the arrival of Spring corresponds with Easter. Adults think we know what children are thinking but do we really know? Perhaps we do not! This little girl of yesteryear wasn't thinking about Easter candy she was thinking about her Mama's Easter Bonnet.

Is Halloween a New Romantic Holiday?
Many things in the world are now considered upside down. Is Halloween considered by some to be a romantic holiday in our upside down world? Romantic Vampires and Glampires and sexy Witches now appear on the screen and in books and our minds. So is Halloween now seen as a new romantic holiday?

Looking for My Christmas Spirit
Here's a little something to help you put things into perspective while you are trying to find your Christmas Spirit in the hectic moments of preparation for the holidays.

Love is in the Air – Valentines Day Must Be Close
Can you feel it? That on the tip of your toes anxiety and on the tip of your tongue romantic innuendo is symptomatic of having been shot through the heart with Cupid’s arrow. That tingling love is in the air feeling must mean Valentines Day is near.

New Years Resolutions Alternative
In just a blink of an eye another new year will be starting. Every New Year we are prompted to make resolutions or promises to ourselves. We all set out with wonderful good intentions but often fail. Why not try an alternative? Throw all the balls up in the air and see which ones you catch.

Remember Me
Most people want to be thought of by others and want to be remembered while they are here and after they are no longer here physically. That fact is part of the basis for many of our holiday, birthday and anniversary celebrations. Remember Me is more than a computer term related to your passwords.

Seaside Beach Holidays
August is a month with no really significant holiday so what better time is there to create your own special holiday at a beach of your choice. Having a holiday at the beach at anytime is an enjoyable adventure. Allow yourself to relax and to JUST BE.

Thanksgiving Reflection And A Special List
Most of us associate Turkeys & Pilgrims with Thanksgiving. But there’s something else that we should also associate with Thanksgiving – A List. It’s Thanksgiving, it’s time for making your list and checking it twice; not your list for Santa, your list of Thankfulness. It’s time to make your list!

Wishing You a Wee Bit of Luck for St Patrick’s Day
How’s your relationship with luck? Is everyone lucky on St. Patrick’s Day or only Irish folks? Do you think you’re lucky? Are you lucky because you believe in luck? Or do you believe in luck because you’re lucky? Or is all this talk about luck just Blarney?
