Not all signs on churches are preachy. Well, not a direct warning, at least. I thought this one was clever, humorous, and both a modern and ancient warning.

A Twain Look at Family Trees
Good old Mark Twain. His humor has the bite of truth to it. This one struck my funny bone, considering all the political mud-slinging:
A Woman’s Purse is a Mysterious Thing
Happy Friday! I thought we’d end the work week with some humor. Or is is truth? In any event, enjoy this video.

Help for Holiday Horrors
We’re entering the season of get-togethers with family, friends, and co-workers. There’s always at least one person who wants to “celebrate” by using the occasion to fight political or personal battles. All you want to do is relax and share good food, drink, and company.
Amy Keller Laird, editor-in-chief at Women’s Health Magazine, offered (December edition of the magazine) five ways to avoid conflict during holiday gatherings. I hope they make the next month or so more enjoyable for you.
- Agree to disagree. Not everything is a challenge of you personally. Walk away from the argument.
- Keep your emotions in check. As emotions rise in the other person, our own emotions rise in response. Keep yourself calm.
- Use humor. Humor (not the sarcastic or demeaning kind) helps diffuse most prickly situations.
- Just say NO. If someone asks you a personal question or tries to draw you into an uncomfortable conversation, simply tell them you don’t want to talk about it. That’s a perfectly okay thing to say.
- Remember what’s important, why you’re at the gathering to begin with. Keep in mind what you want out of being where you are. Make HAPPY memories for yourself and your kids.
Yes, these are all steps that depend on you. But isn’t it nice that you actually do have the power to control the situation?
By the way, I think that these five suggestions are just as good for non-holidays too.
The Mom Project
Women DO get paid the same as men–when they first graduate from college. The wage gap starts to open up as a woman ages toward motherhood. Moms make 29% less than dads do in the U.S.
Is a woman less smart, capable, or able once she becomes a mother? This short video from MomUpAmerica.com answers that question with a bit of stinging humor.
I Know Where You Are Today…But Not Tomorrow

Have a 2017 filled with health, happiness, and the joy of life!
