Bev's Backyard: December 2009
http://bevsbackyard.blogspot.com/2009_12_01_archive.html
When I was a child the best conversations took place in the yard. There's nothing like sitting under a shade tree and "shooting the breeze". Welcome to my backyard. Sunday, December 27, 2009. Everyone has a home base I suppose. For some it's a structure, others a town. For me "home" has always been the page. For over 40 years I have retreated to the page to think, sort through life, and heal. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). I'm 53 and starting to find the questions. People with too many answers scare me&...

Bev's Backyard: Behind the Brand
http://bevsbackyard.blogspot.com/2010/05/behind-brand.html
When I was a child the best conversations took place in the yard. There's nothing like sitting under a shade tree and "shooting the breeze". Welcome to my backyard. Friday, May 07, 2010. There was a time when a 'Brand' stood for an expectation of quality. We believed we could trust the companies that manufactured our products to produce high quality, safe products. The name on the package was our way of knowing the product inside was something we could trust. We have lost that innocence. The examples go ...

Bev's Backyard: Cowering In a Rut
http://bevsbackyard.blogspot.com/2011/05/cowering-in-rut.html
When I was a child the best conversations took place in the yard. There's nothing like sitting under a shade tree and "shooting the breeze". Welcome to my backyard. Sunday, May 22, 2011. Cowering In a Rut. Being stuck in a rut is like reading everyday but never turning the page. Ruts are easy to get into and hard to get out of. First we have to realize we're stuck. You can use the word 'security' and 'rut' to describe the same situation sometimes. Security has a price. Humanity is like a puzzle, all the ...

Bev's Backyard: Cat Shelter
http://bevsbackyard.blogspot.com/2011/01/cat-shelter.html
When I was a child the best conversations took place in the yard. There's nothing like sitting under a shade tree and "shooting the breeze". Welcome to my backyard. Sunday, January 09, 2011. Below you will see our shelter box made out of 2 plastic storage containers. It's an inexpensive way to provide some help for unfortunate cats that are outside. Put the lid on the interior box securely (duct tape if necessary). Cover the top of the interior box with more bedding as added insulation. I'm 53 and starti...

Bev's Backyard: July 2009
http://bevsbackyard.blogspot.com/2009_07_01_archive.html
When I was a child the best conversations took place in the yard. There's nothing like sitting under a shade tree and "shooting the breeze". Welcome to my backyard. Sunday, July 26, 2009. In the goals I set for myself in May I said I would try to blog more often. I’m not doing so well with that one. Sad… it was easier to reestablish the weight training at 5 am habit. I’m not sure why. There has been a lot going on lately. This seems to be a year of new beginnings. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

Bev's Backyard: February 2011
http://bevsbackyard.blogspot.com/2011_02_01_archive.html
When I was a child the best conversations took place in the yard. There's nothing like sitting under a shade tree and "shooting the breeze". Welcome to my backyard. Friday, February 25, 2011. Forgiveness is rarely easy but never harder than forgiving yourself. Sometimes I ask myself “how could you have been so ignorant”? 10 years from now I will look back on the things I’m doing today and hopefully say “how could you have been so ignorant”? That will mean that I’m learning, growing.

Bev's Backyard: August 2009
http://bevsbackyard.blogspot.com/2009_08_01_archive.html
When I was a child the best conversations took place in the yard. There's nothing like sitting under a shade tree and "shooting the breeze". Welcome to my backyard. Saturday, August 15, 2009. Today I made black bean burgers to freeze. On days that I expect to need a quick dinner in the evening I'll take a package of them out of the freezer and put it in the refrigerator to thaw while I'm at work. It only takes a few minutes to cook them when I get home. Here is the recipe. 1 medium onion (chopped). I'm 5...

Bev's Backyard: April 2009
http://bevsbackyard.blogspot.com/2009_04_01_archive.html
When I was a child the best conversations took place in the yard. There's nothing like sitting under a shade tree and "shooting the breeze". Welcome to my backyard. Sunday, April 19, 2009. I had my first decent meal in days for dinner… spinach salad, spicy tempeh/vegetable stir fry, and jasmine rice. I find myself grabbing a bag of almonds and a soda when I’m busy running errands. I go for days with nothing more substantial than an English Muffin and then I wonder why I feel bad. Chloe is intent on her p...

Bev's Backyard: RAM
http://bevsbackyard.blogspot.com/2010/05/ram.html
When I was a child the best conversations took place in the yard. There's nothing like sitting under a shade tree and "shooting the breeze". Welcome to my backyard. Friday, May 28, 2010. When I begin to accumulate too many worries in my life I start to slow down. I find myself unable to be effective in any area since I’m concerned with all of them at once. 8226; What is the worry/problem? 8226; How important is it? Will there be serious consequences if it isn’t fixed this week, this month? I may put a pr...

When I was a child the best conversations took place in the yard. There's nothing like sitting under a shade tree and "shooting the breeze". Welcome to my backyard. Monday, August 01, 2011. Thoughts On Wealth in America. As Washington battles to cut spending and politicians babble about the “nanny state” I am thinking today about the reality of our top heavy society. Is the “Jericho Road” far worse than it was in 1967? Yet 19 million people in the US live in extreme poverty, HALF of this. Those pushing t...
