I owe you guys a RAOKA post today, but I'm going to have to keep you in suspense for a little while longer. I'm leaving for Phoenix this afternoon to visit two of my favorite girls and their families for a long weekend...

Hi guys! Did you all have wonderful Halloweens?? Mine was fun! I wish we would have had more trick or treaters though. We only got three. And I live in a perfect trick or treating neighborhood, so I was surprised...

On my way into work, I stopped at the grocery store to buy treats for the day. Then I sat in my car in the parking garage putting together little goodie bags for my friends at Starbucks, who provide me with liquid sunshine every weekday morning...

I received an email yesterday from NICE photographer Beth with a link to a blog post she wrote a few days ago. It is so lovely, beautiful, meaningful, introspective (and more!) that I had to share it. It's easy to dismiss people based upon their appearances...

Hi everyone! Phew, it's been crazy in my world lately. I could use a break. Luckily I go to Arizona to visit some of my favorite people in the world next week! That'll be an absolute treat. It's been tough managing everything on my plate lately...

Where the heck have I been?! Sorry for abandoning you guys. I've been swamped. I know, that's always my excuse, right? Well, I'm so glad you keep popping by anyway!So the other day, I was catching up on some missed TV, and I ended up watching the premier of 30 Rock, one of my favorite shows...

I know it's a little later than usual, but today is Blog Action Day, and I couldn't let October 15th pass me by without a post about this year's topic, climate change...

I came across this article via a tweet from fellow RAOKA member, Dani from Positively Present. It's called Laughter IS The Best Medicine and explains all of the benefits from experiencing a laugh, chuckle, chortle, crack up, or yuk. As if we really need an excuse to bust out laughing...

I saw this on Twitter and had to share. Facebook has created a new app that measures the happiness levels of users based on terminology in status updates. Technology is amazing, huh...

After forming this little blog o' mine last year, I discovered a slew of other sites in the blogosphere dedicated to niceness. Awesome! So I wasn't the only one! Well, one of those lovely people, Sami, from Life, Laughs & Lemmings sent me an email about participating in a nice-blogging-supergroup...

Hi guys! Did you all have a great weekend? I did! My stylist asked if I'd like to pose for her salon's look book, and if I agreed, I'd get a free cut and color. Awesome...

I had two super nice people send me the link to this video, so I knew it must be good. It's not just good, it's AMAZING! I couldn't help but get choked up by the sweetness of it all. Trust me, you will love it!

The other day I received an email from Lauren of (Mis) Adventures in Theatre with a story about a man she met in Vegas who left an impression on her that she won't soon forget!So this is completely random. While I was driving home today I somehow got to thinking about a fellow I met once in Vegas...

I received this illustration from Betsy the Cow creator, Anne. She told me that Lou, the adorable yellow birdie, likes to do some motivational speaking, and he was inspired by this blog! :) Could that be any cuter???I am flattered, Lou! (And Anne!) Thank you so much!
