Minimal
I have this idea in my head of what minimalism looks like…and I’m not 100% certain but I think if I believed in minimalism I would have a lot less stuff. If I believed in minimalism, would I have so many books? Would I have a counter full of oranges and a container of cookies…

Christmas Day
Walking around the little town where I live this past year on Christmas morning… It was so quiet. No one was around. But all the little shops looked so pretty, and were all decorated. It felt like I was walking through a Hallmark movie set. I hafta be honest, for a moment it felt a…

Eye-catcher
This was one of those times when I was driving and had to pull into a parking lot to take a photo. The sky looked… airbrushed. It was gorgeous.

First Books
(This post contains affiliate links.) Some of my favorite books that have stuck with me for 40+ years are from my childhood… Oh What a Busy Day by Gyo Fujikawa. What can I say about this one? I love it to pieces. I’ve read this book hundreds of times. I’d spend hours pouring over the…

Profound? Maybe.
Part one Like many people, I reached a point in my life when I gave up on having any relationship with a Higher Power. I’m not sure exactly when it happened, but it was sometime during that 16-20 year age. I grew up Catholic, and went to nine years of Catholic school. I attended church…

Limitless
Unlimited budget for 24 hours??? I’d buy tons of scrubs and compression socks and all the Brooks I wanted (especially those Chip & Dale sneakers, they are adorable! :P) Then I’d stock up on groceries. I’d book like, 10 trips for next year. Maybe 20. I’d order every book I wanted from my local book…

They choose, from their menu of topics, to talk about the meaning of…

Antidotes to Fear and Self-Doubt
I love the little acronyms they come up with in 12-step groups. And fear has a few of them: F– False E-Evidence A-Appearing R-Real Or: F: Face E: Everything A: And R: Recover or the more humorous: F– F**k E– Everything A– And R– Run! Fear has a way of creeping in sometimes. It can…

Life (and what does it all mean anyway?)
Recently I read this adorable book called Sweet Bean Paste by Durian Sukegawa. I loved it. I had seen the movie first, years ago, which is based on the book (I think it’s available currently on Prime). It is all about a man who owes someone money and so he is selling dorayaki to pay…

Annoyed (Boyfriend/Camping Version)
I don’t know that there’s a lot of words that annoy me at the moment. Maybe I just stay away from the ones that do? However, after spending this past week in the middle of the woods with my boyfriend, I can definitely tell you words/phrases that annoy him including: “Off the hook” I don’t…
