Do Life Right

In no particular order, with my additional sarcastic comments after each semi-colon:

Procrastination is good, preferred even; Putting off doing homework and projects until the last minute is well worth it. Work done under pressure takes less time and is usually graded better. Nevermind the stress of it all, stomach aches are good…
Don’t share information [...]

What inspires you? What fuels your creativity? I get inspired by the most seemingly mundane things. My daughters and I started a list of some of the things that have inspired us in the last few days:

Snippets of overheard conversations
Snippets of participatory conversations
Boxes of food
Walking around stores (Vastly underrated)
Walking around outdoors
Unexpected colors [...]

A recent question I received: “I’ve recently become vegan, but I can’t replace all of my leather items right now. What should I do? Some things just aren’t made of anything else except leather, are they? It feels wrong to wear or own these items, but I don’t know what to do.”
I’ve also heard the [...]

I’m a big Billy Joel and I love singing along to his famous “We’re only human, We’re supposed to make mistakes.” It’s catchy, it’s fun, it’s got a great tune, and it’s mostly true. Humans do make mistakes, I know I do.

Is 2008 your year to become organized and get rid of all your clutter? Do you have items in closets that you haven’t looked at in years, but aren’t sure what to do with? Consider recycling your items in unusual ways.
CLOTHING:

Fur coat? Donate it to PETA; they give them to homeless [...]

I’ve had concerned readers, so here is an update on our found cat.
I took “Diamond” into TALGV this morning, right as they were opening. The kind people (almost all exclusively retired volunteers!) there were happy to take her in at no cost since she was a “found” cat. I did donate money and [...]

Today, when my daughters and I were driving home from a really fun Unschoolers Park Day we had a little unexpected adventure.
While we do live out in the country (desert) and often see jack rabbits, quail, and lizards, we were quite surprised to have to stop the car to let four wild (free roaming) cows [...]

Have a favorite restaurant that you no longer go to now that you are eating a healthy, vegetarian (or vegan) diet? Tell the restaurant owner your needs; you might be surprised and have your requests become new favorite menu items!
Or, are you a restaurant owner wanting to increase the health of your patrons and [...]
