eLaine’s Locker
I thought I would announce the fact that I opened a Zazzle store for my daughter’s artwork. We call it ‘eLaine’s Locker‘. The idea is to get her started in getting a bit of exposure for her anime drawings, and eventually a little spending money for when she goes to school next fall. It is fun to help your kids develop their talents and fledge into something that helps them learn...Jan

Marry Your Actions, Motivations, and Goals
More often than not we leave out an important partner in our planning and dreaming. People write books on this fact, and we often buy those books. But we tend to look at the whole as a project list of bits and pieces. Maybe that is where a vision board comes in, to bring together a visual map of all the components, including the all important motivation for the entire goal we started out with at the...Jan

Found: A Way to Record Your Old Albums
Not only does this solve the problem of trying to find an old style turntable, but you can record that good old music too! I think this is just a fabulous gift to get anyone that has an old album collection! I know, too many exclamation marks… I came across it while looking for gift ideas and consulting my affiliate links for ideas. It is available through Linens ‘N Things, and probably...Jan

A Planning Tool for Goals and Accomplishing Dreams
I came across an interesting concept, new to me, but not new. It is like making an idea board for your dreams, with the view of making them a reality in the coming year. It is called a vision board. It is a cross between idea maps and collage art which I find a fun idea, even if it doesn’t accomplish the original intent of inspiring motivation throughout the year. You can make your personal art and...Dec

The Difference Between Goals And Plans
And how knowing that will make a difference for your 2012 resolutions Everyone hates New Years Resolutions, it seems, or if they don’t outright hate them, they feel discouraged by the prospect of yet another set of resolutions biting the dust around, oh say, March. I think that comes from confusing the intent behind resolutions, goals, and plans. How do we turn our dreams into reality without being...Dec

Can We Be An Encouragement Today?
People are somewhat schizophrenic in focus during the holiday season. On the one hand they want to spread cheer, be jolly and bright, and lighten each others day; on the other hand they get stressed with the effort, become pushy and grumpy, if not outright hostile. They drive more erratically, become exhausted with their efforts and worried about their budgets…. unless… Unless they slow down,...Dec

Advent, Thoughts on Peace
My friend, Rusty, has written an Advent essay,Third Sunday of Advent, 2011 – Peace. “Imagine all the world, living in peace.” “I have a dream!” Noble sentiments, yet the authors of those statements died unexpected, violent deaths. So true, and so sad. Thoughts on true peace for this...Dec

Advent Stairway
I started an online Advent blog sometime in 2006. Something like one of those old fashioned Advent calenders like my grandmother used to send me as a child, each day holds a devotional thought and a picture. Over the years I chose different themes and some years included childrens activities or Christmas recipes. Our family uses them for the daily Advent times ( admittedly we sometime have to...![[image]](http://mowser.com/img?url=http%3A%2F%2Ftruegrit.weblogs.us%2Fimage%2Fmisc01.gif)

0Importance of History
studying history is intellectually enriching and challenging. The most thought-provoking history asks the “why†questions. Why did the McGuffey Eclectic Readers become so popular in the 19th century? Why were women in colonial America taught to read, but less often to write? Answering questions like these moves us to think about literacy as no other form of inquiry can.
