Day 6: Five Favorite Apps

For today's post during the Blogember challenge - to post every day during the month of November - the subject is my five favorite apps.

1. Instagram - my real favorite for sharing photos, tracking progress, following other posters with the ability to filter and enhance. I follow cool people and they share their lives little moments too!

2. iMDb - I just love this app when watching a movie, tv or when I have a question that needs answering about movies, tv and music. Just love it!

3. Pinterest - yes, for my phone too. I love Pinterest and the app allows me easy access and ability to update boards from anywhere!

4. Color Effects - another photo app that allows enhancements. Use it infrequently, but when I need it, I love it!~

5. Scrabble - I love my scrabble! Play it for real on the deluxe board version, online whenever I'm able and on the app from my phone. Couldn't live without it!

Month of Miracles

photo credit: http://marcestes.com/2011/02/11/miracles-the-need-for-the-hour/ In the tradition of continuing the commitment to writing each day, I am beginning the month of December as I have for many years…. with a passage from Simple Abundance about December. "December's gifts - custom, ceremony, celebration, consecration - come to us wrapped up, not in tissue and ribbons, but in cherished memories. This is the month of miracles. The oil that burns for eight days, the royal son born in a stable, the inexplicable return of Light on the longest, darkest night of the year. Where there is Love, there are always miracles. And where there are miracles, there is great joy. Gratefully, we weave the golden thread of .. joy in our tapestry of contentment. At last we embrace the miracle of authenticity, changing forever how we view ourselves. Our daily round. Our dreams. Our destinies. Days we once called common, we now call hol...

Today's blog for the Blogember challenge is a favorite recipe. This one we saw on the Food Network being made by Giada DeLaurentis. It's absolutely delicious.

Day 18: Happiest Moment of my Life

For Day 18 of the Blogember challenge to blog each day during the month of November, today's topic is the Happiest Moment of my Life. Hmmm. … this could get interesting! I believe that life is an array of moments strung together creating who we are and what we stand for. And during those moments we encounter joy, pain, disappointment, sorrow, glee and a miriad of emotions and experiences along the way. Certainly the ones that stand out for me are the moment my daughter was born. She was truly a gift from God - a miracle - a blessing - and long-awaited at that! She's the life that my husband and I created from the love that we share. And along that same vane, when I married my husband was an incredibly happy moment as well. We didn't marry until age 35, each bringing our histories and patterns into the life we chose to share together. It was a long road up until then, and now it's a shared one! Other happiest moments: * Climbing...
