news to make you smile

be cool. be good. be you.

Author: Patty Dixon

I think being kind is the greatest strength. Laugh, laugh a lot, laugh most of all at yourself. You aren't going to make it through without humor. Above all, I admire those who, somehow, manage to make the world a little nicer place. Cheers to you.

A humble, sweetheart of a man named Ted brought in a rug to be appraised when the tv show came to the town he lived, Tucson. The said rug hung on the back of a chair… Read More A Warm and Fuzzy for You….

Who I Am, etc.


I love blogging and Twittering (Facebook, less so). My family, my friends are sensational rockstars and I’m insanely blessed to have them in my life.

Who I am

I love writing, I love reading. A daughter of a librarian, the love of words was instilled in me in the womb. I am a lifetime news junkie. I like good humans. I can bang out a few painfully simple tunes on a piano.

I nurse both a daily latte and chocolate habit.

My friends are the good kind of people that I’m blessed to have in my life.

Above all, I believe being kind is the greatest strength. I admire those who, somehow, manage to make the world a little nicer of a place. Huge thanks for stopping by!
