Live Inspired and Feed Your Spirit
“If we try to pour from an empty pitcher, everyone ends up thirsty!”
Recently, Angie Mozilo (@azmomofmanyhats on twitter and AZ Mom of Many Hats on Facebook) and I discussed this idea, as well as my book Live Inspired, on her Mom of Many Hats Radio Show.
You can click here to download our show on iTunes.
As Angie says,
Mom of Many Hats Radio is a place for moms to hear a loud and resounding “MOMS ARE IMPORTANT!” It is also a place for women who wear the mom badge to have a community that truly believes that they have value beyond simply the day to day tasks of “mommyhood.”

O Canada, Live Inspired!
Late last spring, I received a heartwarming email from Sheila Swier, the principal of West Country Outreach School located in Rimbey, Alberta, Canada. Much to my delight, Sheila had chosen Live Inspired as the theme for the school year and wanted to present each graduate with a copy of the book at their upcoming graduation ceremony.
Today, I’m sharing with you the article Sheila wrote for The Rimbey Review. (If you double click on the article, you should be able to read it.)

Great American Taste Test
This weekend, we participated in the Great American Taste Test, coinciding with the release of More of America’s Most Wanted Recipes by Ron Douglas.
I knew my mom was the perfect person to help me with this project: she loves to cook and loves having any excuse to dress up my kids in costume. Here’s YaYa (my mom) with the kiddos, all donning their Chef attire.
We chose the Mongolian Beef recipe from PF Chang’s. For the Taste Test, we compared our homemade version (Choice #1) using the recipe from page 218 of the More of America’s Most Wanted Recipes cookbook with the restaurant-made dish (Choice #2).
Thanks Dad!
Father’s Day is right around the corner and what a great time it is to say Thanks Dad!
My dad is one of my best friends. I can always come to him when I need advice, to hear a compassionate point of view, or just a friend to talk to. That’s why I’m especially excited to announce that my story Crazy Curtains was published in Chicken Soup for the Soul: Thanks Dad: 101 Stories of Gratitude, Love, and Good Times. In the telling of this story, I’m able to express to my dad my gratitude for his unwavering love and support. So, I’ll just go ahead and say it again: Thanks Dad!!
