My First Award
Gracious appreciation to Melissa at SingleMomUnschooling for nominating me for the Sunshine Blogger Award; my first award after almost 2,800 posts and six years of blogging. This award is for bloggers who spread sunshine and positivity throughout the blogging community. Like my … Continue reading
Raw Emotion
Provided courtesy of Confessions of a Funeral Director. When a son commits suicide and his mother writes his obituary, this is what it looks like. This is pretty intense. Many years ago, I was taught to use the term “Completed … Continue reading
Wow!
People are always looking for ways to keep the cost of funerals down and/or getting more directly involved…but isn’t this taking it just a bit too far? Thanks to @calebWilde
No It’s Not
Well, I have never met Caleb, nor have I ever spoken to him. I know what I know about him from his blog. We do however, agree on this. This Funeral Is Not About You. I like the “express line” … Continue reading
I was recently interviewed for an article about funeral service and technology. I enjoyed the process and have a new cyber-friend in Maggie. It can be found on 2machines.com…a website more eclectic than Eclecticity Light. This is the Real Reason … Continue reading

Think About It
Caleb Wilde finds times to ask the question, “So, You Want To Be A Mortician?” Pretty darn accurate, if you ask me.
Uncle Joe On Gun Control
The man is a heartbeat away from the presidency….scary. This entertaining video actually makes a very good point, differentiating between shotguns and rifles, such as the AR-15 style….but not the point Joe wants to make. Joe Biden’s advice to women.
Surely Southern
The annual Wysteria bloom is underway just in time for Masters Week. …this plant is hanging off the branch of a very large Magnolia tree….Aiken is awash in the soft lavender of these beautiful, albeit invasive plants. This view is … Continue reading
Perspective
OK…This morning got off to a slow start. I am now at my office extra early and the birds are singing outside my window and the train horns are blowing in the valley. I’m getting better. I then remembered what … Continue reading
