What's New? Let's See Where to Begin.

I have been very busy since I posted my last blog entry. Since my last posting, some of my subscribers have been asking me about follow ups from previous entries. So, what's new? Let's see where to begin.

January 25, 2010, I posted "She's Using what She's Got". In this short entry, I shared a personal challenge to myself to conserve for a year buy not purchasing anything new for myself. How did it go? Other than food, I followed through with my New Year's Resolution of 2010. Noticeably, I saved money. One slightly negative consequence happened from my conservative approach. While training for my 5th mini-marathon in 2011, I got a very painful shin splint injury in my left knee? How did that happen? Hmmm. The culprit for my injury was the running shoes I had been running in for 3 years. (Aghast) I won't be doing that again. The general recommendation is to replace your running shoes (that means buy new ones) every 300 to 500 miles. (TheRunnersGuide.com) My shin actually ached on and off for about two years. Today I am pain free. Before running, I have to do extra stretches for my shins.

In March, 2009 "The Meaning" post was born. At that time I was feeling the tremendous weight, pressure, and isolation that comes with working a full time job with overtime and taking a heavy fulltime course load of college class work. I realized I wasn't Super Woman. Thank you all for inquiring about my academic pursuit. Guess who's back on the scholastic track today? This time around I am wiser.

"Little Women" is the title of the April 1, 2009 log. How are my two little women doing? They are now ages 23 and soon to be 21. Each daughter is actively pursuing her dream. One daughter is working on her Masters and has accomplished many creative projects as a student. The other daughter decided on a career with the military and is currently serving our country.

Continuing on the path of nostalgia lane, March 20, 2009 I wrote the posting "Barbershop Memory". My mother (God rest her soul) was a barber. Making art with hair was her passion. It was last year, October 2012 during Breast Cancer Month (mother passed away 15 years ago from cervical cancer) that I decided to color my hair pink in memory of my mother and all those who have battled cancer and those who have survived it. Since my mother was a creative hairstylist, I am sure she would of loved my hair. By now, all of my friends and most of my family are use to seeing my hair this color. For the rest of my family, you might be shocked at the next family reunion.

The hour is growing late and my eyes are growing tired. It's time to get some rest. There are still more updates to come. Until my next posting, I wish you well.
