It is not unusual for our holidays and special occasions to be marred with some sort of tragedy. Justin's death happened the day after our 7th wedding anniversary, my uncle passed away last year on Taylor's Birthday and this year, Travis and Megan lost their maternal grandfather on Travis' birthday, December 23rd. We spent a couple of hours with them at the hospital that day and we hurt for them because this was such a difficult goodbye. .At the hospital that afternoon before her grandfather dieThe Speaking Up Point
I've had a couple of interesting (aggravating) run-ins over the holiday break, and both involve a distinct prejudice. At a dinner party with everyone gathered around listening, a woman (a very petite woman) was going on and on about a horrible plane ride she once had where she had to sit next to a very large woman. The story was that the woman was so large that she overlapped into the smaller woman's seat. Now, I have been stuck in a seat between two people who more than overlapped into my sGifts - By Linda Ford
We’ve just celebrated Christmas. Of course, that makes me think of gifts. I can think of a few memorable Christmas gifts. One in particular I will share with you. I loved dolls from the time I could pick up one. I had a drawer full of paper dolls. I created imaginary worlds for my dolls. I made play houses. So it seemed natural that I would get dolls for Christmas but one year my doll was extra special. My mother made me a life-sized doll with moveable limbs and real baby clothes.

Investors spent the holiday-shortened Christmas week in an un-merry mood, digesting more gloomy economic data and taking stock of a tumultuous 2008. With the S&P 500 Index and the Dow Jones Industrial Index down by 35.8% and 40.6% respectively for the year to date, many investors would be anxious to wave the old year goodbye. But changing the calendar digits from ’08 to ’09 will regrettably not make an iota’s difference to the perilous nature of the investment environment facing investors The Snow Angel
Hi, this is Michael James Caughill. Elliot has been nice enough to give me the opportunity to say a few words on his blog this Christmas Eve. As some of you may know, I’ve sold a few children’s books. But my favorite children’s story is one that’s never been published One year, I wrote a short story about the angel from the top of a Christmas tree. I then gave the story, along with a tree-top angel, to all of my friends and family. I was particularly happy to be able to give the story to mPerfectly Precious Pink Princess Palace

A great big thank you hug to all the beautiful angels who sent loving gifts and kind words my way over the past month. For those of you who haven't heard, and for those of you that know just a little, this is the event that had me off the air for a bit of time. Mum and I, along with my gorgeous 4yo Bear, were off to town. Funny though, there was a nagging voice inside saying 'don't go, you have plenty to do here'. As I do from time to time, I just ignored that little voice. Mum and I had aFlint dog

This year he gives them something rather small and simple - a nutcracker-doll in the form of a soldier. It’s rather ugly, and soon it is broken, but Clara loves it all the same.

PALE SMOKE by Raven Kaldera “When you walk through a cloud of smoke,” Feather whispered in my ear, “what does your body feel like to it? Do you feel like a lover? Like a violator? Does it caress you with desperate need, longing for you to notice, to respond to its love and desire?” She took a drag on her slender gilt pipe and exhaled a breath of felissium smoke my way. I decided not to breathe for the moment. Not that the smoke would make me high, anyway, but I was beginning to hate its sickFigure Retailer Review #1 - Small Wonders
As long as I have been collecting figures and blogging, I’ve been planning on doing a store review. Not just for online retailers since we all know we tend to buy from the major online stores than others, but instead focus on the smaller local shops. Well, I decided the other day when I went to Newport Beach to visit my brother that it was the best time to start! My brother brought me to this shop a while back to see if the store was good, to check out their selection and to mainly see iWin a Girls 'n Grace Doll!

by Anil Menon Mr. Harris is saying grace. Perforce, I have to observe him from afar, for the hearsee, wondrous technology though it is, grants me only two intimacies: sight and sound. The scene has the sensuous vitality of a Dutch still life: the lemon-yellow house, the Shaker elegance of the kitchen, the bay window with its checked blue gingham valence and the four humans arranged like set pieces around the scarred, dark-brown, wooden table. Then they begin to move, and the illusion is lost.
