Word of the Day #87: JOMO
JOMO - The Joy of Missing Out. I am sure I am behind the curve here. I've known about FOMO (Fear of Missing Out) for a while now. I did not know about the JOMO until today. Just found this word (if it is a word) and I love it. There are a bunch of Rivian trucks...

Tip of the Week #274: Supercharge Your Day With Checklists
If you have repetitive tasks in your daily schedule, I recommend using a checklist. Sitting down to write a checklist may seem like a waste of time, but I have found the opposite to be true. In fact, I get more done with a checklist than I do without one. Checklists...

Tip of the Week #273: How to sell an Ebook online
The question I receive most is not, “How did you learn Latin?” Instead, the question I get most is, “How did you learn to make a living online?” The answer is complicated. To answer, I am writing a book. For years, I have watched in dismay as digital marketers have...
Pes, pedes and peditis confusion.
I received this question: The declension of the noun pedes is confusing us majorly. In the charts (which are usually so handy) rex is declined so differently. Where does the extra "it" come from? Pedes--pedITis--pedITi--etc. Thanks for any help you can give us! Here...
Spanish One and Two
I am getting lots of questions about the online Spanish class I will be teaching in the Fall. Just so everyone knows… I am still learning Spanish. I am simply inviting everyone to learn along with me. Last year, online, I took students through Madrigal's Magic Key...

Goals: Start slowly
Inch by inch We are about to create a healthy checklist. Before we begin constructing a checklist, keep this in mind. I built a checklist to give myself the life I wanted to live. I want this for you, too. I want you to live the life you want to live. I truly...

Word of the Day #85: Atavistic
Atavistic An atavistic trait is a trait you picked up from your ancestors. It skipped a generation, or two, though. Your parents did not have this trait. Atavistic traits disappear for a time only to show up later. For example, “He has an atavistic temper. It...
Word of the Day #84: Arachnoleptic fit
Arachnoleptic fit: The wild fit you throw right after you walk through a spider web. Arachnoleptic fit is a made-up word. My mom sent it to me. It’s a useful made-up word though. I nearly wiped out once after biking through a spider web. I threw an arachnoleptic fit...
Tip of the Week #272: I Did Not Read the Terms of Service
If you are like me (and, I know I am) you likely do not read the terms of service. We are supposed to read the terms of service. We know we should. But, do we? Speaking for myself, I admit, I rarely read the terms of service. Lawyers write the terms. The documents...
