As you read in Tuesday’s post, my friend Sarah and I visited the 9/11 museum a few weeks ago. At the entrance was a huge photo of the lower Manhattan skyline approximately 20 minutes before the first plane hit. There were audio recordings of what people remembered they were doing when the planes hit. Pulling up to work in their car. Washing clothes. Grocery shopping. Normal, everyday stuff. And then…BAM. Everything changed.
Remembering 9.11: Running Toward the Building
A few weeks ago, my friend Sarah and I went to the 9/11 museum. It’s built underground, on the actual site of Towers 1 and 2. There was a hushed silence as we all remembered what it was like that awful day. When the world as we knew it changed.
Reclaiming the Garden Part 8 – How Do You Get a Bush to Grow Back?
You know when you buy a bush from the garden shop and it looks nice and full? And then something happens – winter damage, deer eat it, or whatever? And suddenly it doesn’t look so great? In fact it looks scraggly, and you wonder how to bring it back to its lush, full state?

You may have read my post back in July where I was cleaning out. I ended up with an entire pail full of rotten produce that came out of my fridge. I even posted a picture.

Not a pretty sight.
Reclaiming the Garden Part 6 – Clearing the Vines
As you know, I’ve been slowly (very slowly) reclaiming a garden in my back yard. And I’ve found regular weeds, super-sized weeds with deep roots, and vines. Nasty vines. I think they might be bittersweet. They’ve wrapped themselves around everything, somehow even managing to reach up to tree branches overhanging the garden and pulling them down. And wherever they touch the ground, they seem to root.
Reclaiming the Garden Part 5 – Finding More of the Path
In the last episode, I found one stone of a path I had built through the garden. It was exciting to rediscover this path. But there I was – balanced on one foot – looking for the next step.
Reclaiming the Garden Part 4 – Uncovering the Path
You read in my first post about reclaiming my garden that I planned to start in the middle and work to the right. Then you walked with me as I found buried treasure, only to have the deer eat it by the next day.
Episode #120: Built With Love – Your Marketing
We don’t usually speak of marketing and love in the same room, never mind the same sentence. Yet, what if that’s what it was like, for both parties? Well, it’s not only possible, but will someday what makes the difference between success and failure. On this episode we talk about how it’s done.

I’m back in the garden again. Cleaning out for the third day. Thought I’ve lugged at least 4 wheelbarrows full of weeds (piled so high they keep falling off on the way to the dumping pile), it looks like I’ve scarcely made a dent. Though there is that big empty space, in which I found buried treasure yesterday. A peppermint stick day lily, hydrangea, and Shasta daisies. All standing tall once I uncovered them……for one whole day.
