I own this t-shirt....really. After enough people told me they thought I was Wonder Woman, I decided I needed the t-shirt....though I still don't have the gold bracelets, the lasso of truth, or that invisible plane. That's probably what I'd like most...the ability to fly around in invisible comfort and speed. I tend to joke whenever someone uses that moniker, but I keep thinking if they really … [Read more...]

It's been so long, you may not remember, but when Tammy introduced me last month, I mentioned some of the things I was passionate about, and asked you to share some of the things you're passionate about. Most of you were too busy sending warm, friendly welcomes to take the time to do that. But today, I'd sincerely love to know! What floats your boat? What makes your heart sing?
