The hot sun shone brightly, reflecting on the warm sand. Sitting comfortably in a half-chair, feet burrowed in the powdery sand, I tried to concentrate on my book. Glancing frequently towards the water to keep track of the swimmers being tossed by the waves, my attention was divided. The sun grew hotter, and even the…
R U Here Yet: Why Texting is Good for the Family by Charlotte Siems A few years ago, text messaging on a cell phone seemed silly to me. What a dumb concept. Why would anyone text when they could just pick up the phone and call? I have definitely changed my tune. …
Semi-Homemade Tortilla Chips by Charlotte Siems Homemade is a subjective term. If you want to get technical, you’d need to make homemade tortillas and those are beyond the scope of my skill and time.

Once upon a time….long, long ago….one of my daughters made this homemade toffee for a friend and sent it to him in a box with other goodies. He really liked the toffee, and eventually he proposed to her. I’m not sure if the toffee had anything to do with it, but it didn’t hurt. …
A Thank You Note to T-Tapp by Charlotte Siems Thank you notes are proper etiquette to express appreciation to someone for a gift or kindness given. Since my 5+ years of experience with T-Tapp has been so great, I’d like to write a thank you note: Thank You, Teresa Tapp and T-Tapp! …

Great article! Thank you!!
Well said! As a man (or woman) thinks in his heart, so is he.
The kind people over at T-Tapp pointed me to your blog because I am 41yrs. old, 300 plus pounds, and desperate to get some weight off because I would love to have a child (my first). They felt your story would be an inspiration to me and I can tell you that it 100% is!! And, I love this post. I am starting to really understand in my core how positive/negative thinking effect a person and especially weight loss. Thank you for the post and the blog. You are really helping me see that I can make a positive difference in my life! (and then hopefully others as well)

I would like to learn more about thoughts/confessions…
