Writer…Interrupted has moved to Word Press! (Me and my office chair are doing a happy dance!) Be sure to visit Gina’s new site and let her know [...]

The “Making Home” List

Monday’s early morning plan came off with success, despite the fact that it happened in my nightgown (not dressed for the day as intended) and that I drank Bengal Spice tea instead of cappuccino. Whatever works, right?
February’s calendar is filling up. Knowing I’ll be stretched to get everything done has me desiring my house, at [...]

Making Home

Monday, the beginning a brand new week… What are you going to accomplish this week? Besides the normal?

Little Girls

Cow Stories: Farm and Faith

Dh is loving the cow/calf aspect of his new job. It’s calving season, a time when rescuing little calves becomes an hourly occurrence. Especially when they all want to be born on wintry nights such as we’ve had lately. At last measure, we had 6 inches of snow on the ground. My cowboy and [...]

Energy AND Fat Loss Part 3

Today we talk about how starved our bodies are for oxygen and water.
The Importance of Deep Breathing
Straighten up, no slouching! Good posture encourages good breathing and we are lazy, shallow breathing chair slumpers! Okay, even if we don’t slump, chances are we rarely take a good cleansing, belly-distending breath. Think of the productiveness and energy we [...]
