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…

“Do you need time?” Well I have time. We all do. The problem I think is that I can get so busy with being busy that it starts to feel like I don’t have time. On a bad day- If I come home from work for instance, dragging work along with me, then it ends…

It is tempting isn’t it? Three magic genie wishes! If I’ve learned anything from stories I’ve read or watched over the years, it’s that things go horribly wrong when people come into contact with a genie and make wishes. So would I wish for anything? Probably! I’m human, just like everyone else. And people make…

The two people that come to mind when I think of family members are my kids. They are two of my favorite people to hang out with, and I’m lucky they still do want to hang out, as they are in their late (?!) twenties. They are compassionate people, and it has been humbling to…

Thinking about big risks in life…. There are a lot of things that I’ve really wanted to do that I have done- going back to school for nursing as an adult in my forties (!) was one of them. But there are still things in my heart that I’d love to do that require a…
