I fold the towels. I pair the socks. (I don’t fold underwear because that seems silly.) I wash the fruit. I bake the biscuits. I empty the dishwasher placing the knives that special secret way so the drawer doesn’t jam. I close the cupboard door. I push in the chair. I hang the coat. I […]
Dear Heart, It’s been a while since I wrote something I thought was worthy to share with you, but perhaps this question might tickle your brain cells? A friend recently posed a thought-provoking question: What do you think are the TWO biggest threats to the health of our children and grandchildren? This got me thinking…deep […]
Dear Ones, Is it still an act of kindness if it is not delivered? A couple days ago, my 9-year-old sonshine and I were grocery shopping. At the check out, a mother was trying to understand her bill. She didn’t have enough money for her milk and cheese. The grocery store manager removed the items […]
Dear Hearts, For the past six months I’ve devoted significant time and imagination to JOYFUeL. If you’ve read my site for a few years, you may remember–or may have even joined me for the JOYFUeL ecourse adventure! Well, JOYFUeL is still very much alive and breathing… and becoming a propelling force of love intending JOY […]
(A personal reflection on mothering and parenthood.) “Music is not in the notes but in the silence between.” ~Wolfy Mozart Being a mother is ever changing. It’s not a role to “ACE” or master. Motherhood offers a chance–just like all roles we play in life–to learn, grow and emerge–rinse and repeat. My pace does not […]
Dear Hearts, On Valentine’s Day 3,000 people of different religious faiths gathered to celebrate coexistence and sing Matisyahu’s prayerful song, One Day. This collaboration and video offers an incredible example of the power of community and song, combined with vision. We can transcend our differences to cocreate one vision of peace, love and acceptance on […]
Well, I like the tee shirt very much! Just make sure – if you do this – that you get some plus sizes!
I think it is a lovely idea and sentiment. I also think the “Life is Good” company would slap you with a lawsuit in a heartbeat, but maybe that’s just my cynical brain!
Teehee. I was just being silly and originally was totally KIDDING. I wanted to sound like I’d had a profoundly simple & original idea.
This has all got me giggling and thinking.
For kicks (and because Joan wants one) I looked up “life is so so so good” on the USPTO Web site. Turns out no individual, no brand, no company owns that combo of words. Therefore I officially hereby claim and declare copyright of “life is so so so good” as MINE–ours actually! I hereby give my readers permission to go crazy with puffy paint, t-shirts and deliriously create!
If you want one from the Monkey House I will make FOR FREE a “life is so so so good” t-shirt for anyone who asks (tell me your color and size preference). I won’t sell them to you, but you are most welcome to donate to my soon-to-be-created children’s college fund. I’d appreciate the shipping fees too, but that’s not necessary.
I’ll extend this colorful gesture for as long as I can keep up with production, unless and until I get a cease and desist.(But since I’m not actually selling anything, nor am I breaking a registered copyright, will that happen? I wonder?)
Email me your t-shirt color, child or adult size and mailing address.
This is going to be so so so GOOD!
