Things that add the spice or flavor to life

This blog was inspired by my children, my pets and friends. Through years of trying to entertain children I found other families, friends and community groups to collaborate with for ideas and resources. Those who know me, know how much children, pets, nature and creativity mean to me. The little the things that add some fun and flavor to your life, like art, creative cooking, nature activities, and fun facts. I was blessed with, and extremely thankful for, many of these things in my life. My mission here is to offer ideas, and inspiration among friends and put together a network of resources, including a list of organizations that do good in our community and a way to support them.

Dreams, freedom and motivation


Dogs dream, anyone with a dog in their life can attest to that fact, but do they dream about? Do they dream about eating better food and getting more exercise? Do they dream about sleeping on a more comfy bed or playing with new toys? Whatever they dream about, they use a non verbal language and the fine art of persuasion to communicate what is on their mind.

 There is the famous quote about having a dream and another that freedom isn't free. While our dreams may not be as earth moving as Martin Luther King, they can still have an affect on the lives of those around us.

My dream is to work from home, using my creativity and God given talents to enhance my life so that I can help my family and community. It sounds simple,  it is possible and it does come with a price. Simplifying the dream and the goal is taking a lot of work, in my head and on paper. Keeping the dream alive while listening to negative voices in my head and negative people in my life takes faith and preserverance. Talking about my dream with others takes courage. The real work then has to follow.

I have been reading and researching and listening , to figure out what is the driving force of my creativity and what is the message that I feel I need to share, and I think I've found it. Let's see if you can figure it out and help me put it into words.

What about you? What are your dreams? What would you like to change ? Who would you like to help?
