Have You Been Inspired Lately?
The following is a guest blog post by katelynjane from katelynjanes notebook. She has written another guestblog on Postcards and I really enjoy her upbeat, thoughtful style.
When I think of “inspiration”, I automatically think of what inspiration is. To be inspired. To see something that motivates me to achieve something. So I decided to ask [...]Stop The Criticism, Inspire Your Children
This is a guest post by Derek from Derek Semmler dot com.
The other day Damien was discussing summer memories and asked about the strongest memory of your youth.
When my mind begins to wander through the collection of youthful summer memories, I immediately think of the flour fight that I had with my sister or the [...]Crazy Quotes

Summer Memories and What Lies Ahead
We all have those blissful memories of youth and summer. Whether it was eating watermelon in the cul-de-sac or enjoying snow-cone or popcorn machines the grownups on the street rented for a special event like the Fourth of July. Or maybe it was just traipsing through the mud out behind the house or [...]
A Question of Preparation
This is a guest blog post by Marcia from Tumbled Words.
We have been preparing for one thing or another most of our lives, haven’t we? Let’s take a trip back into our past in preparation for my one question quiz in honor of Damien and Sarah both being teachers. (No cheating!)
Flash back to elementary school. [...]It’s Such a Beautiful Day
Did your parents say that to you on sunny days? It is a great statement. Most people can connect with it. I walked out to my Jeep this morning to put a new scanner in to take to work. My daughter followed me out already starting to pout thinking I was [...]
It’s a “Journey” Thing
Do you keep a calendar on your fridge? If you’re like us in our house, that’s the place we compare our lives with one another. If Sarah has a doctor’s appointment or the girls have birthdays to go to, we find it all there. That’s where we check ourselves. If a [...]
Push it to the Sidebar of Life
One of my favorite songs is the Beatles: “Let it Be.”
When I find myself in times of trouble …
Speaking words of wisdom let it be.
We live in the most “multi-tasking” and multi-demanding society in history. The human mind wasn’t created and hasn’t evolved to handle all the stress and demands in a given day. [...]Real Subscribers vs Empty Traffic
Ever since I was a kid I have enjoyed spotting the fake in a picture. Whether it was looking for “Where’s Waldo” or better yet an optical illusion. For example, does anyone remember those MAD Magazine “Fold-In” features on the back cover? They were so awesome. When you looked at the [...]
Walk With Wife
I had a different sort of “www” this evening, I walked around Wal-Mart with my wife. She is amazing. When people talk about meant to be, I think of her and I. I had a bad day today and all I wanted to do was come home and veg in front of [...]
