Back to School

Hands Down 

This Will Be the 

Best Year 

EVER!


It is almost back to school time here in the Midwest.  It makes me so sad to send my kids off and miss out on all that time with them, but I value public schools and especially the teachers there, who, let's face it, are incredibly undervalued by society.

I always like to try my best to show my gratitude for them and develop a great relationship, starting from day one.  This year, I doodled a gift.  The image file can be pasted into a Word file and is the perfect size for putting two on a landscape page.  I printed mine on cardstock and the hand is the perfect size to affix a small hand sanitizer or nail polish.

This year the  Sally Hansen Crayola line was too cute to resist. 


I mean, who among us can resist the appeal of a fresh box of crayons with their perfectly pointed tips?








We chose cerulean and attached 
the coordinating crayon.  
What color will you choose?











Enjoy!

Me, too.

Click here to download Me, too doodle. And most of you, too. You may have noticed by now the viral trend on social media, in particular, Facebook, in which folks, mainly women are posting as their statuses, "Me, too."  Some elaborate on this with the following statement: If all the people who have been sexually harassed or assaulted wrote "Me too." as a status, we might give people a sense of the magnitude of the problem. And astoundingly to some is the degree to which sexual assault/harassment has affected so many of the people we know.  For me, a significant majority of my female friends and acquaintances have shared this status, some expounding with more specific details of what those experiences were and some not.  But, what surprised me was how many of us either shared in our statuses or later in comments, or maybe, like me, simply had that thought, that perhaps we shouldn't share, because what happened to us wasn't bad enough.   ...

You Do You

I am so over our competition culture. Can we all agree to be confident enough in our own life choices that we can stop overselling them to our friends and family?  And stop arguing or at least implying that our choices are superior to theirs? You do you. Click here to download You Do You doodle. And I'll do me.  We can all be happy doing what is best for us.   Home school or public school or private school.  Daisies or succulents.  Cable or Netflix/Hulu or no TVs.   Disposable diapers or cloth.  Mini-van or SUV or truck.  Color your hair or go gray.  Heels or flats.  Vegan or vegetarian or flexitarian or carnivore.  Read the book or watch the movie or both.  Coke or Pepsi or "I don't drink pop."  Pop or soda or soda pop.  Run or lift weights or dance or don't.  From scratch everything or go out to eat.  Chocolate lover or someone who obviously doesn't have tastebuds. Of course, of course...

What's Essential

I love personality quizzes.   I recently became intrigued by the  Enneagram types , have been known to investigate my  Meyer-Briggs type , and even found out my  Hogwarts house .  You might think they are bologna or worthless, and you might be right.  But, I think they are insightful, reflective, thought-provoking, convicting, and frankly, fun.   I also love spiritual gift inventories, which I participated in during an adult study at church once upon a time, and in another study, some time later, I participated in a study about defining my faith.  Those things are life-changing, eye-opening, and somehow super comforting.  To be sitting in a place where you are really understanding what and why you believe what you do is incredibly peaceful, even when some of your answers are I don't know .  Furthermore, it allows you to more easily identify when or why those beliefs change.  I recommend taking that journey if you are ...
