  How my day is going

  Posted on December 1, 2009 by Diane in 5 life
  Tweet

  Tweet Today I have been doing at least 3 things at once. I have been working on a business model, I have been doing R&D, and I have been brainstorming. The business model- setting up what you do so it can be reproducable by others and planning out the year- is fairly straightforward. And it [...]

  The Wayback Machine

  Posted on November 29, 2009 by Diane in 5 life, living
  Tweet

  Tweet Fast forward from yesterday. Yesterday I went from posting here to twitter, where a friend asked me, “If you could go back in a time machine to wherever you wanted, where would it be?” I thought this was a cool question. Where would I stop off? I actually spent a couple of hours talking [...]

  “It doesn’t look like this anymore…”

  Posted on November 28, 2009 by Diane in 5 life, living
  Tweet

  Tweet I was looking at the titles on another one of my blogs, and this one popped out at me. It struck me- NOTHING looks like it used to. I thought maybe I was referring to the aging process or something, since I have another birthday around the corner, but it was fall leaves. What the [...]

  Happy Thanksgiving, or don’t cook your turkey on the radiator

  Posted on November 26, 2009 by Diane in 5 life
  Tweet

  Tweet When I was teaching art a few years back, a teacher at our school had a memorable Thanksgiving. She spent it out on the front lawn with her family because the turkey caught fire and they actually had to call the fire department. This would have been bad enough, but she lived in a [...]

  (Rocky Turner) Mothers Fighting for Others on TQ Radio

  Posted on October 29, 2009 by Diane in 3 inspiration, 5 life
  Tweet

  Tweet Originally printed in the TwitterQueens.ning.com blog: I have spoken to Rocky Turner a couple of times over the past few weeks, and to say that her strength is an inspiration would be an understatement. To say that I am blown away by how she (and her husband) manage to raise six children (hands on- [...]

  Transparency…or politeness?

  Posted on October 21, 2009 by Diane in 5 life
  Tweet

  Tweet Yesterday on our radio show there was a lot of discussion (some on air and quite a bit in the chatroom which unfortunately isn’t transcribed) about transparency. I had originally heard this term used to describe a real estate transaction, but lately it has been used more broadly to describe a person’s actions, both [...]

  Adventures in Ice

  Posted on October 10, 2009 by Diane in 5 life, humor
  Tweet

  Tweet I came across this old post of mine while searching for something else today. It is funny how that happens; I had nearly forgotten about the ice storm that we had, and how everything was brought to a standstill around here. Several local high schools were commandeered as emergency shelters for people without water, [...]

  Chaos September 11

  Tweet

  Tweet September 11, 2001. I was at school teaching. Meg, then 16, was in high school. Jenny was just 3, and at home with her dad, while I was at work teaching art at the same school that my other two children- Peter and Becca- went to. I remember crowding into the pre-K classroom with [...]

  Spiritual Vertigo

  Posted on September 6, 2009 by Diane in 5 life
  Tweet

  Tweet I love fractals. I think what I love is that you look at them and you see a pattern, and you think you see all of it but when you zoom in, there is a whole ‘nother world. Sort of like Horton Hears a Who . Or how I imagine infinity to be. Because honestly? [...]
