Favorite places to visit…..
One of my favorite places to visit is anyplace with books. And if they’re free, that’s even better. This past week, I was able to visit my new neighborhood library, and it did not disappoint! I found two books that I have been looking forward to checking out- Mexican Gothic, by Silvia Moreno-Garcia, and The…

A smile and some humility
Favorite things to wear… right now, where I live it is snowing. I love sweater weather and here we are… but also I recently moved, and while we’re making progress, I still have a lot of things packed up. And I realized that somehow after paring down my wardrobe again and again, I have one…

Pricey
The most expensive item I’ve ever purchased has been my nursing license. I’m considering not just the financial aspect, but also the emotional and physical aspects as well. Nursing is tough.

Favorite Websites!
My two favorite websites these days? YouTube and Bandcamp. Yep. Bandcamp. And YouTube. Music is what gets me through my days, my weeks.

Connecting in a Divided World: Why It Matters
Maybe you’ve noticed it too… so much divisiveness. But most people want the same things- safety, enough food and a safe place to live, family and friends. And believe it or not, the fact that we are here on earth at this precise time, is somewhat of a miracle. That’s not to say that life…

A Kid at Heart
What does that mean? I feel like we all know someone who is a kid at heart. They are the people who always seem to have a twinkle in their eye. Who seem like they’re having fun, even when they are sitting around not doing much of anything. They’re the ones who can make a…
