A Grinchy Grinch

The Green Wall


Sometimes you want to go 
where people make you better...

But then you find out that
that's really not what matters.

What matters most?
People or the green stuff?

Obviously to many
the green stuff does.

But not so others  
who have found the real secret.

That having more
is really having less...

Because what's inside
is what matters most.

Do we really live in a world where money makes the world go round?  Or do we live in a world where what really matters are people and what's inside of them?  I see people struggling to make ends meet and then there are people that throw money around like it grows on trees.  Sometimes you feel saddened to hear about places that don't seem to care that you have a family and that you want to spend time with them.  What was the lesson the "Grinchy Grinch" learned?  Do you have heart or don't you?

Fast Times

Frame of Mind


On the go,
Don't be slow!

On the run,
Having fun!

Here and there,
Everywhere!

Where'd I go?
I need to know.

Time flies by,
So don't be shy!

Live your life,
With no strife!

And in the end,
You'll send...

Best wishes!
With kisses!

XOXO!

Well...  life is flying by!  It seems the older you get the slower you get while time keeps going faster and faster.  Where did 2015 go?  I remember a very rainy summer and now a very rainy winter.  Tick, tock, tick, tock...  Time to smell the flowers!

Baby Haiku

A Star for a Baby


A precious bundle
brings joy to the world because
a star shone brightly.

@JoSH Poetic Popcorn Poetry

I was at a Christmas Eve before Christmas Eve service and the message was about a baby that changed everything.  Have you ever heard that song?  Because a baby does change everything!

Networking

Wise Women

You know!  

A group of women

meet each month
to share in sorrows,
joys, kudos, pain, 
and disappointments.

Why does this 

happen?  What 
made this work?
Who do you know?
I know you!

And you know me!


We share 

and we envision!  
Because we support 
each other with 
our hopes and dreams!

It works because 

we know each other
and because 
we share together.
Because...

If one falls down

then we pick each 
other up.
And if one flies high
we help them fly higher!

We are You and Me!

I belong to a number of networking groups as my business involves marketing and public relations and I get to meet a lot of fantastic people throughout the many meetings I attend.  Who knew I was surrounded by so many talented, intelligent, and witty women!  Men too!  It takes a special kind of person to have the initiative to become an entrepreneur!

Mary Pflum Peterson

White Dresses


This is a book written by a daughter whose mother was a hoarder.  Why does this happen and how does it affect the people who love them?  And have to live their hoarding tendencies?

The Hoarder Syndrome

Soiled Diapers


A lover of hoarders
with no borders.
Watching people
all over hold onto
everything they
have.

Day in
and day out.
Saving things
that others
would probably
throw away.

What goes in
must come out
but not if
you're a hoarder.
Then what goes in
stays in.

Forever
and a day.
Trash,
sewage,
bugs,
soiled diapers.

Living in filth is easy
for a hoarder
because
one man's trash
is another man's
treasure.

@JoSH Poetic Popcorn Poetry

I'm not sure why but people are fascinated by hoarders.  Are you a hoarder with no border?  If you are then you need to watch the movie Frozen and "let it go!"  Because really...  you need to let it go!
