It Can Be A Wonderful Life

Posted on December 12, 2012 by Alix

It should really come as no surprise that It’s a Wonderful Life is not only my favorite holiday movie, but one of my favorite movies of all time. The story of the utterly decent George Bailey and his delayed dreams … Continue reading →

The Hope of Social Media

Posted on March 4, 2012 by Alix

Social media has its detractors, but I, for one, appreciate its power to connect us in a way that the human race has never been connected before. Without Facebook, there are personal connections that I wouldn’t be able to maintain, simply due to my limited time and resources. With it, for instance, I am able to see pictures of my adorable baby cousins who live all over the country and haven’t had a chance to visit yet. I am also able to reconnect with old friends (and their adorable babies) who I also cherish but rarely get to see in person. I will always take a virtual connection over no connection at all.

“What All Children Know”

Posted on November 10, 2011 by Alix

I am working to organize my new office on our recently renovated third floor. It’s been slow going. In fact, it looks like a small U-Haul storage facility threw up in here.
I just found a black moleskin notebook in a box from our old house which a few years ago, I used to carry with me everywhere.
Not only and I’m an innate archivist, I am a Junior Varsity record keeper. I think this is an off-shoot of being a writer.
What’s in this notebook?
Well, notes; everything from daily “to dos”like “pick up dog pills” to a five-year plan I wrote in 2007 that I still have one year to complete. Continue reading →

The Death of (Most) Problems

Posted on July 22, 2011 by Alix

I’m trying to get my kids out the door to get to camp on time. We’re running behind.

I look at the clock. Rats! There is no avoiding that they’re going to be at least ten minutes late.

“Oh the horror!” I mean, who cares? It’s ridiculous, right?

Yet I do care to a certain extent, because I like to be organized and on the ball and all that.

Being late feels sloppy to me and I don’t like sloppy.

Plus, I feel it’s disrespectful to keep people waiting.

Clearly, I bring a lot of baggage to being late. Continue reading →
