Happy New Year, one and all!
I wish you all blessings of the New Year. As I said on my other blog, I have only two goals this year.
I want to be healthier, and I want to be happier. With everything I do, I’m going to ask: Will this make me healthy? Will this make me [...]

We’re down to the wire on Christmas presents. The elves are probably hitching the reindeer up to Santa’s sleigh even as I write this. If you still haven’t purchased that big memorable, once-in-a-lifetime present for the guy in your life, now’s the time to take action and get Mayweather/Pacquiao tickets for what is being called [...]

Today is the last post in my 12 Days of Christmas. Forgiveness is the gift suggestion today, and it’s something that won’t cost you anything out of your pocket. Instead, it will actually benefit you as much as the recipient.
We all have people in our lives who have wronged us. Have they apologized, sincerely and [...]

The Internet wants you, or, maybe, it wants your friends or family members. Now is the perfect time to give the gift of a web domain to someone.
Every year, I get certificates from SiteGround, the company that hosts Joan Slings Words. I can give these certificates to anyone I wish. Today, on the 11th Day [...]

Today’s gift suggestions are for movies that women like. Even better, though these are romantic movies, they’re so well written with tons of humor and so well acted that men will like them too.
Price Range: Low. They’re all under $20.00, actually less than $15.00 in most cases. The links are to Amazon, but you can [...]

There is one daily task that every family on the planet must undertake: to feed the family each evening. I don’t know about you, but some days, I’m just worn out by dinner time yet I still need to put a meal of some kind on the table. Even when the family helps out, which [...]

I’m adding a verse to the traditional 12 Days of Christmas song, and it goes like this: “On the 8th day of Christmas, my true love sent to me, 8 writing pens. . . .” Why? Because I love beautiful writing pens and think everyone should have a quality writing instrument.
Actually, I buy a lot [...]
Today’s gift suggestion is a bit unorthodox, but it’s something that will help you get organized, stay on task, and make the most of your time. There are a lot of ways to keep up with time, from grandfather clocks to wristwatches. Of course, we’re not so much interested in telling time as we [...]

If Santa didn’t have a sleigh, he could probably use some kind of alternate transportation to get him to where he’s going. Perhaps he could try a Segway® Personal Transporter. This unique mode of transportation is my somewhat unusual gift suggestion for this 6th Day of Christmas. There’s a dealer in Houston, and I’m going [...]

Give the gift of a smile. By that, I mean donate to Operation Smile. They’re an organization of medical professionals who provide safe, effective reconstructive surgery for children born with facial deformities such as cleft lip and cleft palate.
No child should be shunned and rejected because of these deformities, yet, they are in many places [...]
