Had another blog nicely prepared. Was all puffed up about it, too. Felt like I might be on a roll and it felt good. Seconds before I click PUBLISH, however, doubt hits. It’s not that great, really, I tell myself. Too heavy. Too normal. It’s all been said before. I close the computer. Dejected, frustration …

A way to innocence…
She was born a decade after the Civil War. Her Irish parents emigrated in the 1850s. Because they chose Canada, they were not caught up in that terrible mess in the States, with one exception. Their farm sat at the end of the Underground Railway. Her father was a farmer and shopkeeper. At least, those …
It’s Okay to be Sad…
It’s been cold here the last few days reminding me winter is still with us. I don’t mind because the cold brings clear skies which means sunny days and starry nights. My spirits have lifted considerably, not because I was down in the dumps or anything, just that I was getting really tired of rain, …
Time to change it up…
Dearest friends, Breaking is never easy, but I’m broken today in a way I’d not expected to be. I’ve actually been feeling confident. Imagine. Not so now. My chest aches, my throat keeps constricting, and the tears I’d hoped had dried up for a bit, are back in torrential style. Of course, you’re asking “why?” …
Awakening…
Hello dear friends! Have I got news for you! No, it’s not what you’re probably thinking – the home or money thing – it is something even better. Explosive, in fact. Let me explain. When I started Redo365 more than two years ago, a primary intention was to eradicate my propensity for self-loathing and unworthiness. …
A Rainbow Message
Hello friends! I'm out tonight running errands in the rain and thinking of things, most of which will wait till another time. I'm without my computer, talking to you from my phone. It sounds so personal, doesn't it? Anywho, I'm enjoying the wifi at Boston Pizza along with a vegan Mediterranean pasta dish. Heaven. And …

My blogs will become even more haphazard until I get this connectivity issue resolved. I am working on it, believe it or not, but everything I purchase now, from groceries to bus tickets must be weighed and measured carefully while I wait for that lottery win I’m expecting any day now. In the meantime, I’ll …
And The Next Topic Is… (drum roll please!)
Addiction. I think it’s a good follow-up. People easily become addicted to money from worrying about it, to making it, so it’s kind of a no-brainer segue. When you think about it, it’s easy to see why people become hooked on a lot of things actually. Just like sex, drugs, and rock and roll, certain …
Words and money…14
Words. Gotta love ‘em. I watched a program a few years back that debated the “a picture paints a thousand words” pronouncement. Despite my long standing affair with words, I love pictures, too, especially the moving kind - I'm kind of a movie nerd. Seriously though, who doesn’t have iconic snapshots fixed in their memory? …
Money talk number 12…
Money isn’t everything but you can’t get much of anything without it. Is that true? Of course it is. And of course, it isn’t. It’s a matter of perspective. If you believe your value revolves around what you have rather than what you do, then money is important. If you feel that what you do …
