I know! ICE Jack Frost, you son of a gun

My university is hemming and hawwing about my admissions…apparently I am the only person in the history of the college EVER to get kicked out for crappy grades, earn a degree somewhere else, then come back for a post-bacc program. They need to let me know something, I’ve got to get my work schedule aligned. [...]

Do you know how much I love the lotion Pear Berry? Do you know how expensive it is for me to buy it at $10 a bottle? Do you know how long I’ve waited for your January 1/2 price sale? 1/2 PRICE. yah, since last January. Do you know I was going to buy 12 [...]

I am a very slow thinker. Sometimes when I say this people think I mean stupid or think I am trying to put myself down, neither is true. It’s just a matter of fact; I had a head injury in 1992 that affects how I process information to this day. It didn’t affect my intellectual [...]

I switched to wordpress, as soon as I get everything situated over here I will post regularly…check back soon!

I love the solsticebecausethe days only get longer from here on in.From eLight: Sol-stice = sun-stationary,because the sun rises and sets in the same spot for a few days.This is the longest night and shortest day of the year,here in the [...]

I’m getting over a nasty cold. Made even nastier by the fact I never get sick!!! I haven’t been this ripped by a cold in 3 years, have mercy. I missed/kinda blew off the signs of the impending cold and it morphed into a total throat blow-out replete with hacking, coughing, spitting, and yards and [...]

Michelle Obama will be the 1st Lady. In all this talk of Barack Obama as the first black president, I’d like you to consider the historical element in Michelle being the first black 1st lady. In a country where the prevailing images and ideas of black women are still overwhelmingly whore or workhorse, this will [...]

My father is so cool. My folks are more than 20 years apart in age, so he was an old man dad back in the 70s long before it was popular. Now you see old dads all the time but back then, he really stood out among all the 20something and 30something fathers. Still, he [...]

So my first visit with the therapist about some issues I’m having with money (among other things) went ok. We covered a lot of ground, it was very revealing and interesting. She helped me to really understand what is meant by the term, Money is a tool. This is something I actually thought I understood, [...]

I watched a docu last night (edited to add, I remember the name: Born in the Wrong Body: A Change of Heart on msnbc) that was about two men who were formerly transgendered women, then changed back to being male. They both had very different perspectives on the initial change and their reasons for changing [...]

bear with me as I’m changing things around on this blog, including the name! This blog entry written by Trula Breckenridge. Thanks for visiting MSPmedia: Indie Publishing & Production!

Just got back this past Sunday from Maine, where we spent 9 days on a lovely vacation. The Duck had to stay home. Which was kind of a shame as he would have liked to see the live ducks in Maine

Today is my 36th birthday! I felt the 36ness come upon me in the night and told 35-year-old Trula good-bye. She went on her merry way, wishing me well. I love birthdays so much, they are such a celebration of life and a remembrance of birth and living another year! A twitter pal had this [...]

People generally guess me to be about a decade younger than I actually am, sometimes even younger. This kinda irritates me, because often people will come at me differently if they think I’m 24 or 26 than 36, you know? I think I look my age most of the time but in pictures like this, [...]

Virginia Woolf said, “A woman needs money and a room of her own to write.” I did actually have a room of my own when my sons shared a room when they were small. Long before they wanted to have their own bedrooms I gave up my office because my kids did not understand why [...]

What is Twitter? From the site: Twitter is a service for friends, family, and co–workers to communicate and stay connected through the exchange of quick, frequent answers to one simple question: What are you doing? Twitter has evolved to far beyond that. In addition to the site’s stated intention, it has many other uses including [...]

In my journey of personal growth I have been quite evangelistic, telling everyone about how great I feel and wanting to spread light and joy. But sometimes, I tell you, I am apathetic about making improvements in my life and this can be such a drag. You know what I mean, days where you sit [...]

Ok so as everybody knows I am slow and behind the curve on most web stuff. I am just now understanding what people mean by ‘web 2.0′, how to make money blogging, and all the social media sites. So it will be no big surprise to you that I have just found out about personal [...]

When someone I want to know doesn’t return my emails or calls, I choose to believe they are just very busy right now or didn’t get to the voicemail or email. That is usually the case with myself so I tend to believe this is the case with others. Then when I see them out [...]

The method that worked best for me in changing how I interact with people was to emulate the people that I liked to be around. I also examined why I liked being around them. I found that I like being around people who exude happiness and self-contentment, people who have interesting thoughts and ideas, people [...]

In publishing work on my websites or in my magazines and books, I’ll look to gain and show understanding of the individuals and groups of mothers I cover to provide accurate, timely, and helpful [...]
