Welcome! Take a load off. It’s Saturday and you have my permission (as if you need it!) to be lazy. Here are some delicious rice cakes (is that an oxymoron?) to go with your green tea. Hey! Spring is nearly here, it’s time to slim down for those revealing spring fashions, right? Get ready to click on some really great articles. Thanks for dropping by and Happy Reading!
ø Erin Pavlina presents The Death of My Ex-Boyfriend posted at Erin Pavlina’s Blog, saying, “In past blog entries I’ve alluded to and mentioned an abusive relationship I was in during my late teen years. Today I’m going to share the entire story of that relationship because it has reached its conclusion.”

With our new dog, we were lucky because our daughter has a small neighborhood business of caring for pets and that is how we found the dog we now love so much.”
