I watched the supper bowl half time show. Beyonce was just fantastic! She is such a celebrity!I have always been curious about our fascination with celebrities. Maybe we try to attach our identity to theirs to feel successful, beautiful or powerful. It is fun to dress up like a celebrity or to buy the products they endorse. Read more »

I just love yard sales! This afternoon while walking with my family I saw a sign. We got in and started to search for hidden treasures. Chatting with the sellers, we found out that they were selling their parents’ belongings. One of the siblings said “It is the hardest thing to say goodbye to all of this; we grew up in this house. We have so many memories of everything here.” Read more »

Some days ago I walked out to enjoy the change in weather and the warmth of the sun. I noticed the dry hydrangea plant in front of our house and how so much life was evident as the plant displayed a variety of new foliage. I looked at the other hydrangea plant and to my dismay I observed that for some reason that plant was never trimmed last summer. Old dry flowers were still hanging on top of the dried branches and very few new leaves were budding. That made me think of life and relationships.

I heard on the radio that research conducted at the University of Glasgow suggests that people process words spoken with their own accent more quickly and effortlessly than other accents. In the study, 20 Scots listened to recordings of nine female speakers (three American, three British, and three Scots) while their brain activity was measured with functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI).
