I read a total of two books last year – and one of those books was half comprised of illustrations. The decade before that: none (that I can remember). I do BUY lots of books though, but never really read them. I used to read a lot in my childhood and through my teenage years….

Happy New Year 2023!!!!
Happy New Year to all of my readers. All TWO of you!!!! Let’s hear a true story. Today I want to talk about two people I used to work with. We’ll call one “A” and the other one “B”. They are two people I consider to be quite different from one another. A third colleague…
Declutter December
Have you heard of “No Shave November” or “No Nut November”? Well, I’d like to welcome you to DECLUTTER DECEMBER! It’s not really a thing. It’s just a Grace thang. You see, I am a hoarder. While my house doesn’t look as bad as the hoarder houses that you might see on TV, it’s definitely…
Time Management – Just Say “No!”
Have you seen the movie Yes Man? The main character, Carl, starts off always saying “no” to everything, but ends up attending a motivational seminar that encourages people to answer “Yes!” to every opportunity that presents itself. Well… I seem to have the opposite problem. I seem to say “yes” to everything. As a result,…
Advice
I once read, “Don’t take advice from someone who isn’t where you want to be.” That has stuck with me for nearly 20 years. Over the years I have noticed that many people give me advice and most of the time it’s unsolicited. Unsolicited advice is now a pet peeve of mine. Most of the…
The Golden Rule Is Flawed
This is the best thing I read today. “The Golden Rule—treat others as you want to be treated—has a fatal flaw: it assumes that all people want to be treated the same way.”
Breakups
I recently broke up with my boyfriend and it’s been interesting, particularly my friends’ reaction to it. Many friends have offered their sympathy and some other well-meaning friends have offered their unsolicited (but appreciated) advice on how to deal with it. Now, I’ve been through a few breakups in my day and I haven’t felt…
Happy Birthday to Me!!!
Today is my birthday and I’m one of those people who LOVES celebrate to my birthday. This year was different. I wanted a quiet birthday. My birthday gift to myself this year was just time to reassess my life and my goals. I just got out of a relationship that ended badly a few weeks…
“Business Cards”
My new “business cards” just arrived. I’m so excited. Now, it’s time to design something a little more traditional.
2nd Chance
My friend takes walks in the afternoon and she told me how sometimes she finds old scratchers. She’ll take them home and enter the 2nd Chance drawings. Since she told me about them, I’ve been stopping by the scratcher vending machine at my local supermarket to see if any were left behind. Usually I’ll find…
