The Story of Stuff...We Are Part Man, Part Packrat
Do you remember George Carlin’s classic routine on “stuff”? Carlin’s famous, good natured satire on how we all like to accumulate stuff, left an indelible impression on me and many others. It was funny and true, but it didn’t stop us from acquiring even more things. We LOVE things.

What Is Awesome to You?
We live in a world that is totally awesome. Now, how awesome is that?

We Americans have contributed a bundle of colorful expressions in the form of American slang and…
Gifts from the Sea, Sheer Fantasy of Seashells

The Sugar Addiction that Could Have Brought Me Down
There is life after sugar, a healthier life that is free of this insidious addiction. I seriously hurt my health being addicted to sugar. Most people are in la la lane where sugar is concerned, and I was no exception. Sugar is more seductive than anything I can think of.…
What Is THE Color Of 2012?
You can't help but love all the pretty, pretty colors of 2012. But bear in mind, there is nothing arbitrary or accidental about those colors.
The direction fashion takes is determined by many factors, including current events: what's happening all over the world, politics, economics, the general mood of the…
What Colors Make Brown? Why is the Color Brown So Popular In Home Decor?
There was a time when “brown” suffered from the awful stigma of being thought of as an ultra conservative and unimaginatively dull, and totally lackluster color. Let’s face it, brown used to be boring. Brown is easy to mix, as every five year old will tell you. Ask a child…
