One of my blogging BFFs, the brilliant and talented Mantramine, has got her t-shirt shop up and running! Mantra wants you to wear what you believe. And I have to say, after telling you what my God is not, and reading what Mantra's god is, I'm eying "god is a state of being" t-shirt myself. [...]

Patterns
Image credit: Art by chwalker01 on Flickr Licensed under Creative Commons When I started attending 12 Step meetings to cope with my husband's sex addiction, I met many women who had been married multiple times, each time to an addict. One husband may have been an alcoholic, one might have been a drug addict, and [...]
Powerful Voices
The results are in, and I've settled on the five (because that's my favorite number) folks with whom I want to share my blogging Nobel Prize. These folks consistently blow me away with their writing, and I've picked a few favorite posts from each of them. So, cancel your appointments for today, you've got some [...]
I’ve Practically Won the Nobel Prize
Well, I have two more letters to write (plus one really cool meme letter) before I am over my blogging block, but the next letter is (whiny voice) really hard. So, I know you will forgive me for procrastinating, especially if I promise to give out some awards. I actually have three awards to give [...]
Autism and Vaccines: A Little Scientific Background
I have hesitated so far to post my thoughts on autism and vaccines because there are so many autism bloggers out there who already do an admirable job on this subject.

And it's not just because she is such a totally kick ass writer. It's because she ends each post with the day's mantra, in a way that [...]
My Brain is Not Functioning Tonight
My son had the day off school today, which meant no down time for Mama. I'm an introvert, and I get extremely cranky without some time each day away from people to be with my own thoughts and recharge. Now that everyone is in bed, I want some quiet time: no children, no husband (who [...]
Other Up and Comers
Ordinarily, I like to hoard my awards and not pass them on to others, but today, as promised, I am breaking with my tradition and stepping out to give the Break Out Blogger Award to a few of my own favorite new bloggers. I'm giving it to more than the 3-5 I'm supposed to, but [...]

I'll admit, I can't take total credit for this, Jay helped. Actually, Jay was probably the deciding factor. Megan has been lurking here on my blog since its [...]
