If Today Was Your Last Day
9:30 AM
A huge part of living is the constant need to move forward, to struggle and grow, to laugh and cry. Sometimes, we get so bogged down in day-to-day living that we forget to look at the big picture. In the past few years, I've had several people around me pass on. Either because ...

Home and Family

What do you consider home? Is it the place where you were born, the place where you grew up or the place where you live? For me, home is a search in progress and has been for most of my life. That search has driven me from several cities in Texas, Arizona, California and even ...
After I had my son, I wanted something more indicative of me and my new life as a mom. I'd seen other moms with those cute little taylorsmom or mommy2two names and wanted my own.
Sadly, CJsMom, CJsMommy and every other variation thereof was already taken so, I compromised. CJsMonnie.
Wishing you much peace, happiness and success,

Now that I work from home again, I've had to reinstate a "No Cute In Office" policy. Think that sounds weird? Let me tell you what kind of damage that "cute" can do. Stop The Presses Aww, just one little pet to the purring cutie who climbed on my lap. Riiight. 5 seconds turns into ...
