Mindblown: a blog about philosophy.

  • Move Over Chaquita

      I love Twig and Thistle.  It is one of the sites I surf on a regular basis and I absolutely love these stickers.   Not necessarily for valentines day but for any day, anytime of the year, at least for that special someone.  What a great way to make your children smile when you pack fruit in…

  • Vintage find of the Day

    My grandmothers coats have been unearthed from the abyss.  Their musty aroma takes me straight back to years of sitting on the church pew next to her with her coat draped over me.  It seems they were vintage even 30 years ago.   The green and blue Pendleton is my favorite. Soon to be posted on Ebay or Etsy. There is a plethora in…

  • Time heals all wounds

    After 8 months of x-rays, MRI’s, cat-scans, surgeries, and a numerous trips to physical therapy, I have gone and done it again.  Saturday was the first time I ran since the morning of July 27.  On that morning, I headed out on my family reunion after a run, for a day of water skiing on our local lake. …

  • He gone and done it

    He gone and done it

    I’ve looked everywhere….and I mean everywhere (except for inside the heater vents, but let’s be reasonable folks).  It wasn’t thrown away, it’s not in the fridge, and it’s not that thumping I hear with every rotation in my dryer. I officially cannot find the remote control for my television.  It’s disappeared and it has been gone for 2 weeks…

  • Rising from the Ashes

    Rising from the Ashes

    It has been awhile.  Since I wrote….and also a few other things of which I won’t mention in my introductory post.  However, I still have been moving forward, sometimes backwards, and sometimes spinning out of control.  But for the most part I am alive and so is my son, who in which is thriving, while…

Got any book recommendations?
