If you learn something new every day, you can teach something new every day

Study your strengths; then decide how hard you want to work

I must reclaim my good life and I must return to my good works.

When I got married and had a child and went to work, my day was all day, all night. You lose your sense of balance. That was in the late '60s, '70s, women went to work, they went crazy. They thought the workplace was much more exciting than the home. They thought the family could wait. And you know what? The family can't wait. And women have now found that out. It all has to do with women, or the homemaker leaving the home and realizing that where they've gone is not as fabulous, or as rewarding, or as self-fulfilling as the balance between the workplace and the home place.

I live in an old house with no closets and no built-ins. I hate big cupboards.

As with all my new pets, I gently bit each kitten on the face. This is how I let my animals know that I am now their mother.

Plants respond far better to moderate but consistent care than they do to occasional bouts of heroic intervention.
