Dear Universe, I like free things. Well really, who doesn’t? I like the free beauty samples that the friendly checkout girl at my drugstore always includes when she’s packing my items. These last couple of months I’ve scored shampoo, conditioner, hair treatments, toothpaste and lotion. I like when you place an online order and the package arrives with perfume or …
Birthday Bliss
“How old would you be if you didn’t know how old you were?” ~Satchel Paige Dear Universe, Today is my birthday. I’m sure at some point I’ll be surrounded by loved ones, make a wish and blow out my candles (I do love wishing, after all). Other than that, I am not sure what I will do. I kind of …
Your Year
Dear Universe, I hope everyone’s 2013 is off to a happy start, one that feels refreshing and hopeful. I spent New Year’s Day being very busy. With all the traditions to follow it really felt like the day flew by! But, it felt important to follow some of the superstitions I wrote about. So I ate my twelve (possibly thirteen—I …

Buckets and Buckets
Dear Universe, Turns out, Bucket Lists aren’t just for the things you want to do before you well, kick the bucket. After writing my last post, I did some more “research.” (Thank you Pinterest). Basically I discovered you can make a Bucket List for just about anything you feel like. Going to Florida for vacation? Why not the Vacation Bucket …
Elf Yourself
Dear Universe, How is it already eight days into December? With the holidays fast approaching, there’s a lot to get done. There’s the shopping, the stocking stuffing, the Santa letter writing, the wrapping… and then there’s the caroling, the cooking and the get togethers. There’s so much to do, yet so little time to do it in. But in the …
You May Rely On It
Dear Universe, I can’t remember how old I was when I got my first Magic 8 Ball. But I was young and since then I have always owned one. When I was leaving for college I made sure to pack my Magic 8 ball with me. Something told me it would most likely come in handy during the next four …
