More Thoughts on the Disney-Lucasfilm Buyout

Now I’ve had some time to think about it, I have more sophisticated thoughts about the Disney-Lucasfilm buyout. The idea that I’m struggling with the most is that Disney wants to keep releasing more films every few years into infinity. One day soon, the original trilogy will be buried under a pile of new films, and I just feel so strange about that. According to George Lucas, the script treatments for episodes 7-9 are totally original; they won’t follow any specific plots from the novelized extended universe. Disney’s most likely going to follow Lucas’ scripts, but if it keeps making … Continue reading →

Fewer Births Occur on Halloween Than Valentine’s Day

One of the most common pieces of information that genealogists search for is the birth date of a relative or ancestor. Sometimes, genealogists discover that an ancestor was born on a holiday. A study shows that fewer women give birth on Halloween than on Valentine’s Day. Were any of your relatives born on Halloween? Researchers at the Yale School of Public Health did a study that helped researchers to learn why there are fewer births occurring on Halloween than there are on Valentine’s Day. Could the meanings of these holidays be influencing the pregnant mothers? Halloween and Valentine’s day were … Continue reading →

Thoughts on Working on Labor Day

Today I noticed that one of my fellow bloggers, Richele McFarlin, wrote about the topic of Labor Day. I’ll be working a little bit this Labor Day just like Richelle, and I am sure that we won’t be the only home-based professionals spending at least some of the day working. I really do not mind working on Labor Day because there are no family barbecues, parties, or other events beckoning to me to come away from my desk. If there were, it might be a little harder to stay on task. The main reason that I will be working on … Continue reading →

Some Random Weight Loss Thoughts

This week, it seems that my head is just filled with all sorts of thoughts competing for attention. Those long walks/runs in the morning give me a little time with my thoughts as well as my body, and I think somewhere in there, some of my brain got turned on along with my metabolism. I was reading a blurb in Shape Magazine the other day that had some interesting news. According to a recent study, it will require more effort to lose weight if you miss exercising for a few days. In other words, if you were able to lose … Continue reading →

A Day All to Yourself?

Have you ever said, ‘I just want one day to myself?’ I thought that’s what I was going to have on Friday. Then Thursday night I found out our choir had a concert on Friday at one of the local nursing homes. ‘Oh no, I thought.’ After a crazy week including along with the usual housework and writing project, two other concerts, shopping, and a book launch I was organizing for GROW- UNDER THE SOUTHERN CROSS – an anthology edited by Anne Hamilton and Lyn Hurry and containing a number of Christian writers that included me, the last thing I … Continue reading →

Tristi Pinkston Shares Thoughts on Juggling, Ranting and Raving, and Faith

One of my resolutions for ‘08 was to emphasize the positives of marriage. My thinking was that if we have good examples to follow, we’ll have guides to help strengthen our own relationships. That said, I’d like to introduce you to my fellow blogger, Tristi Pinkston. Tristi is a Senior Blogger who covers Media, Movie Reviews, and LDS and has been married to her husband twelve and a half years. I asked if she’d be game for an interview because she’s a very witty, wise woman who always has sage advice. In other words, she’s primo role model material. I … Continue reading →

How a Positive Attitude Affects Your Relationship

Since October is Positive Attitude Month, I thought it’d be a good time to reflect on our attitudes and how they affect our marriages. Because they definitely have an impact. Mirror Effect In our household we live by the “you get what you give” motto. It’s basically the same principal as the Golden Rule: treat me how you expect me to treat you back. I’m currently reading The Secret in which this principle is emphasized time and again. I first came to know of it, though, in a different manner (what you think upon grows) courtesy of Dr. Wayne Dyer’s … Continue reading →

At times, we all get bogged down in negativity or difficult situations. Here are some more positive statements to meditate upon and perhaps inspire you to a better, more productive and happy frame of mind.

Hay The things that matter most in this world are those that carry no price tag, for they can neither be bought nor sold at any price. Suze Orman When life presents more challenges than you can handle, … Continue reading →

What You Think Upon Grows Day: What Does My Dog Think? (Because I Want to Think Like Him!)

Perhaps the principal of attracting (or growing) what you think about has been around for eons, but the person who introduced it to me and put it in terms that made sense was Dr. Wayne Dyer. Earlier this year I read his books 10 Secrets for Success and Inner Peace and Being in Balance: 9 Principles for Creating Habits to Match Your Desires. The concept of attracting into your life what you dwell on ran through them both –and smacked me in the face. I haven’t quite been the same since. Because while it’s a principal that makes sense, it’s … Continue reading →
