I was home from the office last Friday and was able to watch Oprah for the first time in ages. It was as if I was meant to see this particular episode: Living the Law of Attraction. No, this isn’t “attraction” in the sense that likely comes to top of mind. Acclaimed author Louise Hay [...]

When my dad used to hear the lyrics, “You’re the end of the rainbow, my pot of gold…” and “You’re the treasure I cherish all sparkling and bright…” I bet he didn’t think that 40 years later I’d be sparkling in the Moonlight instead of at the end of the rainbow. But, whether I’m the [...]

Today I’m honoring a woman I’ve never met. A woman who likely has never visited the Sunshine, but her son has on many occassions. Avid and frequent readers recognize his [...]

Last week I spoke of the difficulty in watching my innocent baby, my Lab Oboe, age into a place of illness and pain. In speaking of the Innocents, I also referenced watching the aging of the hubby in a different realm, a different light. I return to the blogosphere today a changed person, after spending [...]

In honor of Mother’s Day, O Sole Mio Sundays is on hiatus…
Today is a special day for women all around the word; for moms, step-moms, grandmas, aunts, sisters, cousins and friends. Today we honor our mothers. Today I honor mine.

I’m an only child. I always wanted a big brother. My husband would beg to differ, primarily because at one point when he was wooing me he told me maybe he was brought into my life to act as a “big-brother” instead of a paramour. I flipped out at him in protest. (I believe my [...]

Saturday’s article: What Would You Do? sparked great conversation! Regular reader in the land of Sunshine, Danny Lucas, posted inspiration stories about Elizabeth, Bernie, AIDS orphans, and stuffed animals. The following photo, showing dozens of kids who now have their own version of stuffed Sunshine in their lives, reminds us, in Danny’s words: “This planet contains [...]
