Lis­ti­cles are always a favorite post of mine to come up with… even though some close and loyal read­ers have said they never read them — psh. But I love lists and I liked the topic sug­gested for this week.  As biggest would say it’s easy-​​peasy-​​lemon-​​squeezy! Topic: What are 10 things you learned in 2012, actual...

words of our home

Today is not a dress rehearsal

I have always been a lover of words, quotes, lyrics.  I like how much they can hold. How dif­fer­ent the same exact group of words can mean some­thing com­pletely dif­fer­ent to me than they do you.
