We have just experienced the few really cold days we have in an Arizona winter – cold enough to leave ice on the windshield and frost on the lawn. The bougainvillea froze but will grow to be vital and beautiful again after we trim it down in a few weeks. A few bushes froze but we had intended to replace them so that’s o.k.

By Irene Conlan - Some books are like a wonderful fluffy dessert – they taste great and are fun to eat but offer little in the way of nutrition. The Oneness Gospel is a “meat and potatoes” book offering nourishment for both the mind and the soul. It is a book that needs to be read slowly … [Read More...]
By Irene Conlan - Mal Duane has a story to tell and tells it brilliantly in her recently released book, Alpha Chick: Five Steps for Moving from Pain to Power. Hers is not a story of a struggle from rags to riches. It is a story that reveals the deep suffering each of us can experience regardless … [Read More...]
By Irene Conlan - We had a "garage sale" yesterday. Some people call them "yard sales." We sold neither a garage nor a yard. We don't even have a garage. In some parts of the country they are "Tag sales" and I doubt if tags are sold. But you know what I'm talking about. We put out the … [Read More...]
By Irene Conlan - You've done everything you know to do. You've lost that extra 30 pounds that kept you from your "perfect size." You spent your last bit of savings getting a makeover - new hairdo/haircut, new wardrobe, ripped abs, teeth whitened. You look good and you know you look good. … [Read More...]
