This weeks Midweek Motivator is not by the fabulous Lindsey, but same old me I’ve been particularly interested in “motivation” the last few months. Why? Because mine has been missing. It seemed to have taken a sabbatical of an undetermined amount of time and calls every so often just to remind me that when it...

Midweek Motivator: Providential Fauna
(Images by Betsy Bulkley 2006) Since I suddenly have tons of time on my hands (ha ha ha) I have been doing a lot of reading. (That part is actually true. When you are nursing for upteen hours a day you can read more than a few books.) I have been reading The 5000 year...
Midweek Motivator: HOLD ON!
As part of our “farm kid training” my parents made all three children endure this thing called “Horse 4-H”. Someday perhaps Brooke will give you her version of it because it is by far, the best. But for our purposes today I am going to steal a moment from my “little” brother Buff. Buff rode...
Midweek Motivator! Habits: Shooting your life in Automatic vs. Manual
Hi. Lindsey here. I have to clarify, because I am about to use a camera for an example and before I go and twist the lingo I wanted to explain: I am not the photographer!!! This is Brooke.

Midweek Motivator! “You Get What You Get…”
“You get what you get, and you don’t throw a fit!”–a five year old once told me, and a seriously underpaid kindergarten teacher once told him. Catchy isn’t it? You may want to remember it next time you are divvying out fruit snacks amongst four year old’s who only want the red ones. It is...
Midweek Motivator: Triumph and Disaster
I was sitting on those wretched metal folding chairs, in the very back of four rows that encircled the mirrored dance room. And I was transfixed. The woman speaking was tall, chemically blond, and perfect in appearance. Her hair was coiffed, her makeup was flawless, her outfit—perfectly pressed slacks the color of champagne, and a...
Midweek MOTIVATOR!
Driving in the Dark by Lindsey Maughan I should not be allowed to drive at night. It’s actually kind of embarrassing to admit, along with my other driving secrets–that I took driver’s ED twice passing with A’s both times but was somehow unable to keep side view mirrors on when backing out of the garage;...
