Timidity

Extreme carefulness (like an OCD)
Worry

‘Twas one week til Christmas
And all through the house
The Marshall’s are typing
And clicking the mouse
How’s that for poetry? :) Well, it’s true… we’re both on our computers, typing and clicking away. Why? Because in just a few SHORT, BUSY weeks we will be officially launching our new website called NOfearYEAR.com!!

“Men and women belong to different species and communications between them is still in its infancy.” ~ Bill Cosby
Ahh, communication…. have you noticed how hard it can be? Most fights (at least in my marriage) start due to a lack of communication. Or, to be more accurate, a lack of UNDERSTANDABLE communication.
What do I mean [...]
I had an epiphany today as I cooked dinner. I was thinking about my life, my blog, my husband (who was in the bathroom, cutting his hair & kept calling me to check it out), my purpose…. and as I was trying to figure out how to work out this blogging thing (because it takes [...]
