Talented Tuesday #1: Kyla Roma

Corinne — Tue, 27 Jul 2010 23:40:00 +0000

Creativity and inspiration are infinite on the internet if you enjoy research and love multi-tasking madness. I’ve kicked my super sleuth skills into high gear this week, since I’m participating in Kris Carr’s #NoTVfor30Days challenge (inspired by Rory Freedman’s blog). Growing up, I was an every-other-weekend kid. I loved the Saturdays and Sundays I spent [...]

Mix Tape Monday #1

Corinne — Mon, 26 Jul 2010 09:00:59 +0000

Mix tapes are close to my heart (as I’m sure they are for many people). How do teenagers express their love for a new crush these days? By the time cassette tapes became obsolete, I had collected at least thirty mixes from my then boyfriend-now husband and I cherished each one. He has a knack [...]

Weekend Getaway in Photos…

Corinne — Mon, 26 Jul 2010 03:31:15 +0000

This weekend was filled with simple joys. Camp fires. Oatmeal cookies. Big family meals. Time with baby niece. Water falls. Train rides. Letchworth State Park. Morning run in the woods. Thunder storms. What could be better? You might also enjoy...Reversing the Blues (7)Home Sweet Home (3)Cream Ale, True Blood, and Writing in the Car… (0)

Home is a Funny Word

Corinne — Wed, 21 Jul 2010 02:26:26 +0000

I use the word “home” to describe many places. Of course, my house in Baltimore is one home. My in-law’s house in Rochester, NY is another. And I even find myself saying that I’m on my way “home” when I’m heading to the office in Woodstock. Steve and I don’t know where we’ll end up [...]

I really enjoyed looking back at my blog posts over the years to come up with this list. Thanks for the idea, Problogger! Your first post: Early Saturday Morning (May 2007)- I was gearing up for my wedding, dipping my toes into life as a writer and learning about manifesting my dreams! A post you [...]

Early Mornings & Crossing Off “Can’t-dos”

Corinne — Wed, 14 Jul 2010 22:24:59 +0000

Photo Credit: Alan Cleaver Over the past two weeks, I’ve started waking up around 6AM, which gives me an extra hour and a half each morning. I’m tired, but hanging in there, hoping that I’ll be able to adjust and fall asleep earlier soon. When I was in high school and college, I would sleep [...]

Reversing the Blues

Corinne — Sat, 03 Jul 2010 15:44:46 +0000

On Monday, I woke up with the blues. I didn’t want them and I was fed up with feeling like a victim to my bad moods. I’ve been working on this for years, but this week was a major turning point. I could choose happiness, but I needed some help. There is so much support [...]

3 Inspiration Boosters

Corinne — Wed, 30 Jun 2010 03:10:20 +0000

Today’s inspiration sparklers: 1) Taking this picture while waiting for the Light Rail to pass during my walk through the neighborhood with Steve tonight (it’s finally cool enough to enjoy the outdoors again!). We capped off the night with a beer on our back porch and brainstormed some ideas for getting the word out about [...]

Love Trees and Jukeboxes

Corinne — Fri, 25 Jun 2010 03:49:41 +0000

Steve joined me on my latest run and we ventured into Druid Hill Park, which is only a five minute walk from our house. Who knew that this magical place was so close! Notice the word “hill” in the name. LOTS of hills. It was challenging, but so much more fun because Steve was there. [...]
