I am grateful to be able to say that I have a lot of favorite people these days… My kids. My boyfriend. Family and friends. But my patients are right up there at the top of the list, too. My coworkers. And if someone would have told me 13 years ago, when my ex-husband left…

I can go both ways. At the beach- sand, waves, the sound of the ocean. Looking out to see boats in the distance, dolphins, the ever-so-slight arc of the earth. And then, the mountainss- little creeks, trees, critters in the woods. The green surroundings that are so calming to the soul. Yeah, I’ll take both.…

I’m a simple gal. It doesn’t take too much to make me happy. Give me someplace with coffee. Like, really good coffee. Not from a big chain, give me the local one. That’s my number one favorite. Does this spot also have books? Perfect. I’m there. Some of my favorite coffee bars where I live…

We’re renting because, although I’ve been…

I went into it mid-life, during a pandemic that no one saw coming. I love my job and my patients though. They make it…

It can be hard to manage screen time. I consider my phone, computer, and TV to all be part of the “screen” category. Screen time can be productive- I’m thinking of time spent writing- so it’s not always a “bad” thing. But I am trying to be more mindful of it. I don’t want to…

Life in three years… I’m picturing…. More trees… Enough maples to make syrup Have you ever seen someone make maple syrup, boiling it for days and then it’s done and it’s still more watery than any maple syrup you’ve ever seen but damn is it good on some pancakes? Pure heaven. And just having a…

My two favorite websites these days? YouTube and Bandcamp. Yep. Bandcamp. And YouTube. Music is what gets me through my days, my weeks. And I love reading, so I like watching book review videos, along with journal videos. Annotating videos. I don’t have many other websites that I follow and read regularly. I prefer my…
