Home Is Where You Hang Your Hat

Well. I had to leave the boat. There's a wedding. My husband on buisness begged me to come with him. A chance to see the grandkids. My friend is very sick. That did it. Here I am back in the land of ice and snow and not completely hating it, but you know.... It snowed all day today and I had to drive the big truck. Less chance of a spin out. I got to spend some time with my sweet friend (sigh), got a parking ticket (groan), had my…

Valentines Day 2010

Wow, hard to Believe Valentines Day is upon us again, and I am so excited it is! It is a day to stop and think about the special people in our lives, and how blessed we are.

Many of us are always looking for the perfect Friendship Gift, especially on Valentines Day. What… Continue

Virtual Friends VS Real Friends

Today we have a guest blog by Shari from The Friendship Stone Team !

Ok so I am stuck in a virtual real world. I of course I have friends, I have lots of friends, friends that I meet on a regular basis, friends that I speak to over the phone or skype on a regular basis, friends that I see once in a while and friends that I see once a year (but it is like we see each other every day) .

Keeping Friends – Save your Health

Health, how do we appreciate it without losing it first? This is one of the questions that I think about quite a lot.

1. Everyday when you wake up and nothing hurts, say and know, it’s going to be a GREAT day!

2. If something does hurt, then decide what you are going to focus on instead to get your mind off of the parts that hurt.

3. Focus on what you want to accomplish that day, and then work hard to make it happen! It is such a good feeling when the day winds down to take… Continue

My Trip to Singapore

I just got back from a very fast trip to Singapore, with a one day stopover in Bangkok. I have to say that Bangkok is absolutely one of my favorite places in the world! Amazing food, incredible massages and the nicest people in the world!

One of our favorite massage parlors in Bangkok, is Lek Foot Massage,. They are located right across from the Novotel Hotel and Siam Paragon Shopping Center. I discovered this place a few years… Continue

Hello from Singapore

Although I am still in beautiful Singapore with my Daughter “the Gymnast” and “My Rock”, I thought I should communicate with you prior to my return.

First, Singapore is beautiful and we are having an amazing time. I am so blessed that I can travel and take my children with me. We have decided that we will take each child on their own trip– so this was Gymnasts trip. My other two children also had their “on their own trips” It is a whole other world… Continue

I Love To Laugh...At Everything...

I'm always looking for that place I can go to feel supported, cared for and happy. Who doesn't want that? But I work from home. I live in a town that is not very accepting of outsiders. I've only lived in KY for 4 years. I don't know many people and don't have a lot of friends here. I have friends back in my home state of California, but they are very far away and very busy.

So I thought I'd take up a quest to find a group of supportive friends online. Thinking about what kind of… Continue

A Word of thanks

Saying Thanks.

When someone does something for you so amazing, how do you say thank you? How can you possibly use two words that have become so over used in today's society, when it means so much more than just a simple thank you.

I am very grateful for the friendships that I have in life. Only because I don't honestly have that many. I have people who I talk to and would go have supper with now and then, but true friendships, I can literally count on the… Continue

Bloggers are my best friends!

I have been on a great mission to find unique bloggers to review and help their readers find my book.

Not only with their kids, but with other Moms, Dads and anyone else they want to reach.

Transcending: Words on Women and Strength by Kelly Corrigan: from passions & soapboxes blog

Author Kelly Corrigan wrote this moving essay about women's remarkable capacity to support each other, to laugh together, and to endure. This actually brought me to tears and makes me feel so proud of my gender. I also feel sorry for the men in our lives because they miss out on so much by not having this kind of support system. If you haven't seen this before please take the time to watch it now. Women are truly special and I raised 3 great ones, this is for them. I only wish I had written it.… Continue

A Lesson in parenting from The Obnoxious SAHM

What NOT to do while waiting in the car circle at school.

Picture it, I am in line waiting to move every inch or two by the minute. To ease my troubled 3 year old, I say "Oh Hey! Guess who is behind us? Your friend Oliva and her mommy is in the car behind us!"

- My little Sophia is strapped tightly in her car seat and immediately RAGES into pure excitement and tries to contort her tiny body to get out of the restrainsts to see her friend car behind us.

Her… Continue

My Story!

My name is Liz Bondar and I live in Oviedo, Florida. I am a Senior Regional Sales Director with AmeriPlan® and a Stay-At-Home Mom. My husband and I have two children who are beautiful miracles of God. Before I started working with Ameriplan® I was not really looking to work from home. I was actually already doing bookkeeping from home for my father's retail business and a doctor's office, and selling products for a home based company on the side for extra income (so I thought). However, I was… Continue

Cancer Blessings

Cancer Blessings.....

At first glance, these two words don't fit together. They appear to be an oxymoron. How can cancer, something so horrible and devastating, be paired with such a lovely word as blessing? How can a word that brings on the feeling of mire and darkness sit next to a word of hope and light?

I would say that they do fit together. I know my sister Amy would.

Amy and I have been in almost daily contact since her diagnosis. Many of the days have… Continue
