Let’s talk about Priest River

After the last year or so, I think nearly everyone needs either a kick in the pants to get moving, or maybe a strong hand to lift them off the floor. It really was a tough year for a lot of people, and it won’t get better unless everyone learns to look for the positive. [...]

This isn’t about Priest River – it’s a story I read in a forum today and got permission to use. I just thought it was too good not to share… Thanks go to Angie for this one: It’s said that you can never have too many friends, but Christmas was just a week away and [...]

Today’s e-mail brought a message that I thought was disturbing. See what you think about it. Ed McMahon died this week.

Recently I signed up for a daily ezine that offers a quote and then the related action you should take to make your day better. Here was today’s quote: “There are two ways to live your life – one is as though nothing is a miracle, the other is as though everything is a miracle” [...]

My friend Judy Black sent this, and I love it! “It’s time to take a reflective look at the core beliefs of a culture that values home, family, country, and God. If I had to stand before a dozen terrorists who threaten my life, I’d choose a half dozen or so rednecks to back me [...]

Have you ever thought about writing a book? Most people have. The book rumbling about in your head might be about your childhood, or crazy things that go on at work, or about your kids, or maybe about your hobby or a charity you work for. Maybe it’s about the history of Priest River, or [...]

With highs today at 14, it would take a dedicated skiier, but I do believe they exist. Snowmobilers are probably also out there zooming around on this sunny Saturday. For me, staying in and staying warm was fine – except for a quick trip out the door to snap a picture. One of my followers [...]
