The challenge, if you choose to accept it

My friend Denise was in town for my birthday party this weekend and we spent some time with a really lovely friend of hers, who told Denise that she had gone a year without buying herself something; no clothes, no makeup, no shoes. Amazing! Denise and Read More...

Slacker...me

Posted Wednesday, January 21, 2009 5:53 PM by HeatherLeigh
We did this contest to re-do my tag line . Geez, was that over the summer? I have been busy! And distracted. Anyway, in the interest of "following through", "doing what I said I was going to do" and a bunch of other trite phrases, I changed my blog tag Read More...

I am not the first to marvel and the skills of Chesley B. Sullenberger (who graciously goes by "Sully", because look at all those syllables!), Jeffrey Skiles and their crew. We needed some awesomeness on the news and there it was. Just amazing. And well-timed. Read More...

The good thing about 2008 is that it leads to 2009

Posted Friday, January 02, 2009 9:27 AM by HeatherLeigh
I mentioned last year at this time (perhaps every year at this time) that I think new year resolutions are silly. Changes don't happen overnight. And the resolutions generally fall into a few categories: weight loss/smoking cessation, family guilt, saving Read More...
