I will not post any pictures, videos, or clips of today’s elementary school shooting- the biggest tragedy and devastation this world has seen in decades. My heart bleeds for the families, and I am crying as I hold my children extra tight right now.
I want only to quote Michael Moore, and then I’ll be done.
“The way to honor these dead children is to demand strict gun control, free mental health care, and an end to violence as public policy.” – Michael Moore
Welcome to the home stretch of 2012. Another year down- CAN YOU BELIEVE? This year was, without a doubt, an interesting year. As has become somewhat of a yearly tradition on WomenOnTheFence.com, for the new and old readers, I recap our year.
As we light the first candle on the menorah tonight, the flickering Hanukkah lights are a reminder of the struggle, courage, and fragile triumphs of the Jewish people. May it serve as a reminder, that after darkness, always comes light. Wishing you love, light, peace, happiness, and a BRIGHT Hanukkah.
On a LIGHTer note, I told my son how incredible the Shrek candle was on the right, to which he replied, “Mom, it’s a cactus.”
Ugh. #BadMommyMoment
#LeaveItIn2012 was trending on Twitter this week. I thought it was a fantastic hashtag– people talking about what they’re ready to leave behind in 2012. I saw cute answers such as, “Gangnam Style. Can’t wait to #LeaveItIn2012,” or “Chain letter emails. Please #LeaveItIn2012.” I saw answers like, “Hate and regret, I’m so ready to #LeaveItIn2012”
I’d love to know. What are YOU ready to #LeaveItIn2012?
My DVR is programmed to record 60 Minutes every Sunday night. Sundays at 7PM, it turns out, are never a good time to watch live, so it’s recorded to watch at a more convenient time.
Yesterday I was feeling a little sluggish, so I got into bed at 3pm for a little 30 minute break before carpool. I turned on 60 Minutes.
I was blown away. I urge you to watch this from start to finish. It will be 10 minutes of your time well spent.
Happy Monday! I figured many of you would be sluggish returning to the grind today after a long Thanksgiving weekend, so I wanted to keep things light. Today, we’re off the fence.
For some odd reason, I have been asked this question a lot lately. WHO IS ON MY FANTASY DINNER LIST?
So, things were getting a little heavy around here, so today we’re off the fence…
I don’t often share the press we receive, but yesterday, two nice interviews came out and I wanted to share them with you. One of the interviewers used my answer to title the article. I’m so glad they did, because it is how I feel. The little things truly ARE the big things in life. I don’t think we realize this enough.
I help busy women (like you!) prioritize self-care so you can experience less stress, more calm and greater joy every day!
