“You can’t reach for anything new if your hands are still full of yesterday’s junk.” ~Louise Smith Dear Universe, We all have baggage. I’m not talking about the suitcases we pack to go on trips. I’m talking about the heavy emotional baggage we carry every day, the kind that chips away at our edges, the kind that weighs on our …
Don’t Worry, Doll
Dear Universe, As much as I try not to be, I’m a worrier. I worry about the future—which is pretty understandable. Sometimes I worry about the present and what I’m doing in the now. And on particularly worrisome days, I worry about the past and how it’s effecting the present and future! It’s exhausting. Other times I worry about my …
April Fools’
Dear Universe, I’m a fan jokes. I’m a fan of laughing as often as possible, preferably to the point where my stomach hurts and I have tears streaming down my face. But my humor is more of the dry and witty variety or the plain just being silly with my girlfriends kind. And when I’m overtired? Watch out. My goofiest …
More Freebies!
Dear Universe, Yesterday I did some cleaning up around the house. I did the normal weekly stuff like laundry, vacuuming, sorting through the mail… And that’s when I remembered!

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 …
Do Not Disturb
Dear Universe, Okaaaay, I admit it. Lately, I’ve been a little antsy, impatient, on edge, anxious… Well, you get the idea. I think this stems from my overworking/under-sleeping state. Meaning, I know this will pass. But I just can’t believe it’s 2013 and that March is almost over! Spring is hours away! (Not that you can tell with Winter Storm …
Daylight Savings, Saving Me
“Spring is the time of plans and projects.” ~ Leo Tolstoy Dear Universe, Though the months are breezing by, at the same time it has felt like a long winter. Dark evenings and darker days, power outages and less outings, snowstorms and snowmen—it sometimes seems endless. But! Spring is coming. I don’t just know this because the calendar promises it. I …
This is it… It is, Right?
Dear Universe, As you know, I ask for signs. Okaaay! I ask for signs a lot. Fine. I ask for signs morning, noon and night. Yes, I even ask for dreams with meaning and more often than not, you deliver. Hey, at least I’m consistent. That’s why when I saw this sign, I had to laugh. It doesn’t get more …
