Laughter and Libations

Text comments and questions here!

This month features rants about my surprise root canal and my husband's unique perspective about it as well as my thoughts about how he became a minimalist in one afternoon. I also answer a few questions of my own this time. I dare you to ask me a question for April!

Laughing Matters is published at the end of each month. It's the end-of-the-month highlights and includes three segments: celebrations, rants, and questions and answers. Celebrations are about intentionally forming a habit of noticing and acknowledging the good in you, in your life, and in your sphere of influence. Rants are about anything I find funny and want to share. Then, I wrap up by answering questions received from listeners throughout the month.

Laughing Matters is published on the last day of each month. It's best thought of as the end-of-the-month highlights. It includes three segments: celebrations, rants, and questions and answers. Celebrations are about intentionally forming a habit of noticing and acknowledging the good in you, in your life, and in your sphere of influence. Rants are about anything I find funny and want to share. This month features a rant about Facebook and the lack of privacy and wraps up with a creative question and answer session.
