“Giddy Up!” That was the phrase that launched Carey and Corey deciding to come to Arizona for New Year’s Eve. I might as well said, “I triple dog dare you.”
They had no idea what they were in for a 23 hour drive from Texas to Phoenix. It was awesome having them help break up the [...]

Volunteering during Thanksgiving and beyond
Posted in Arizona, Junior League, Life on Nov 19th, 2007
One volunteer project a month. I’ve come to realize that I need some big heaping doses of goodness. This year is one that has been full of changes and realizations and I’m taking what has at times been overwhelming emotional struggles and trying to learn.
I have a necklace that carries on it a small quote, [...]
2 weeks in a row, y’all!
I had my first drawback to riding the bus to work this past Thursday; I forgot my planner at home! There’s no going back once you’re on-board, no whirling around to run back into the house, you’re stuck and in my case I had 20 minutes to obsess about it.
I [...]
Reflections under the Sun and Pumpkin Soup

Comfort zone. Doesn’t it feel good to get outside of it?
On Thursday, I rode the city bus to work. A bus ride for me, is usually coupled with an overseas vacation. I can honestly say that I have not been on a public bus as a matter of living my everyday life ever.The rental car [...]
I wish fixing the planet would be just as easy as casting a spell and making everything right. But it’s going to take a little more work than that. Today I rode the bus to work. I’ll give a full update tonight.

$110 bucks! We made it! (so I guess technically once the funds get matched that’ll be $220 dollars towards the Juvenile Diabetes Foundation). There was some break room talk about the irony of having a bake sale to raise awareness/funds towards diabetes. I had thought about that too and I decided that for me, [...]
Dear Reader:
I’ve shared a lot over this past year on my blog. I’ve oftentimes have mentioned how many of you have inspired me to do more and to contribute more to my community. On November 3, I am going to join a team of my colleagues in the Walk to Cure Diabetes benefiting the Juvenile [...]
Good Morning Downtown Chandler
Posted in Arizona, Crafts, Restaurants, Stamping, stationary on Sep 22nd, 2007
$1 Make & Take. There’s this super cute stamp store in downtown Chandler called StampWorks and on Saturday mornings Nikki hosts a $1 Make & Take. She creates a one of a kind card and for a dollar she gives you all the supplies and the space to recreate it.
With the weather cooling off a [...]
I’ve mentioned several times (here, here and here) that I’m in an amazing volunteer group called the Junior League.
So, what does the Junior League do besides sip wine?
We volunteer and raise money. We support several charities in Phoenix with our volunteering wo-man power. Each person who joins the League is responsible for ‘clocking’ several volunteer [...]
Change. Some of us are better at than others. If you were to ask me four years ago if I was adaptable to change, I’d say yes. Because it’s good to welcome change, but in reality, I didn’t like it very much.
Fast-forward four years later and I think I can honestly say that I’m better [...]
