Quotable Friday
“A leader has the vision and conviction that a dream can be achieved.
He inspires the power and energy to get it done.”
‘You Can Say Whatever You Want, But It Has To Start With Y…’
I normally share great, usually inspirational quotes, on Fridays,
under my feature,
Today I share an actual quote my 6-year-old son uttered,
“You can say Whatever You Want,
But it Has To Start with Y.”
Meaning- Yes.
Well, nobody has ever accused him of being dumb.
I wish that actually worked!
I love the mind of a 6-year-old 
Back to your day… enjoy and have a good one!
It’s Reaching 70 Degrees Today and We Were Skiing 3 Days Ago!
What’s the old saying?
‘If you don’t like the weather in DC, just wait a day, and it will change!’
Well, that couldn’t be more true…
Sunday we were skiing!
My son took his first ski lesson ever and took to it like he was ‘a natural’ !
I’m so excited!
And so was he.
The Price of a ‘Big Boy’
To see your offspring, the product of your loins, grow and become independent is a wonderful thing…
in some ways.
There is a price to pay…
Are you reading this while your little one sits on the floor in his or her adorable matching outfit… complete with matching socks?
Are you? Enjoy it. Those days are gone for me…
My son never used to care about what he wore… so I could dress him!
But now, he does care… he just doesn’t care if it matches or not.
He’s picking out his own clothes and (Mom Victory… wait for it…) getting dressed completely by himself!
We used bribery for the latter… Hey! Don’t throw stones!
But what price did I pay?
His favorite, ‘go-to-even-when-they-are-dirty’ articles of clothing are: his orange pants and his blue blazer…

Quotable Friday
“Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate.
Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure.
It is our Light, not our Darkness, that frightens us.
We ask ourselves, who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous?
Actually who are you NOT to be?
You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world.
There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won’t feel insecure around you.
We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us.
It is not just in some of us; it is in everyone.
And as we let our light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same.
As we are liberated from our own fear,
our presence automatically liberates others.”

Has American Idol Jumped The Shark?
Do You LOVE American Idol?… (crickets chirping)
Okay, do you like American Idol? (I’m in this category).
American Idol: Have You Jumped the Shark?
First of all, I used to love to watch the opening auditions; who doesn’t love a good train wreck, and more importantly, the discovery of a great unknown talent?!
But this year seems different; it is different.
I was never a huge Paula fan, but… I miss her now, or rather, I miss what she brought to the show. There – I said it. I miss Paula!
And Simon is leaving after this season and seems like ‘this-American-Idol-judge-thing’ is tiresome.
And who can blame him? His ‘X Factor’ show is starting up next year, supposedly an ‘American Idol’ without age limits. He’s worth hundreds of millions of dollars, so it’s not about the money, a.k.a.- he doesn’t need this gig. And he’s supposedly asking Paula Abdul to be a judge on his ‘X Factor’ show–
for all the rolling of the eyes he used to do- HE MISSES PAULA TOO.
Ellen DeGeneres has brilliant comic timing on her show, but I’m not quite sure she works on American Idol. And Kara, the super-talented singer songwriter judge, is still looking for her role… I think.
But American Idol is about finding singing talent…
Where is the talent this year? It’s there… yes. But I’m not completely excited by anyone. I was spoiled last year by Adam Lambert. I tuned in every week to hear him sing and was excited to hear what new arrangement he would put together (yes, I admit it).
Adam Lambert was CRAZY good.
This year EVERYONE seems just, a, little, tired.
Move Over Fonzie,
American Idol is slipping… into its waterskis to- Jump The Shark.
