Impatience at the Post Office. What do you expect?
By Jane on December 18, 2010
I had to go to the post office to mail off some photos for a client. It was Friday, around 2:30pm and as you can imagine, it was JAM PACKED. The line has extended far beyond the other side of the door to actually gets you within visibility of the agents that work behind the [...]

Your Daily Osho: The Real Robbers…Doubt, suspicion, fear.
By Jane on February 19, 2011
If you haven’t watched the movie Akeelah and the Bee, you absolutely MUST! In it, there is a special quote about FEAR…How our biggest fear is not failure, but SUCCESS!

From FRUMPY to SEXY black dress.
By Jane on January 29, 2010
So, as I mentioned, this is the year for organization in our house. I’m tired of just storing all this stuff when someone else can probably make better use of it.

Your daily Benz: Jailbird wanting to play with his sisters.
By Jane on April 24, 2012
Lucy has a small “backyard”, which I don’t even know if you would call it that. One day, I decided to move everything around so that it was more inviting. I made it so inviting that the girls decided to bring their games and play out there. They’re playing “LIFE”. Lucy and I used to [...]

It’s Friday! You ain’t got not job. You ain’t got shit to do.
By Jane on October 28, 2011
I’m so behind on blogging. Benz is now 5 months and I’ve still got stuff to write about that happened a month ago. Pregnancy and having children contribute greatly to my rapidly disappearing brain cells, whereby the count is drastically depleted with each additional child. That and, of course, aging. Pregnancy amnesia doesn’t go away [...]

Your Daily Osho: Do-It-Yourself. Life is what you make of it. Is it beautiful or ugly?
By Jane on March 3, 2012
It’s been a long while since I’ve picked up a book so I’ve been feeling literally (literally) intellectually starved. More than that, I needed a refresher spiritually from spiritual guru Osho. I just feel drained and needed to be reminded to be in the moment, to not to let ego take over, and to remember [...]

They’re not little pumpkins, they’re Persimmons! Fruit of the Gods.
By Jane on November 4, 2009
It looks like a tomato or a mini-pumpkin but actually this sweet, crunchy fruit is well loved by Asians and Persians, especially my family. It’s fall and my parents’ Persimmon tree is full of Persimmons. One year, they had close to 500 of these orange beauties on ONE tree! Then we had a late frost [...]
