Y’all, it’s already the FOURTH Saturday of November! Of 2020, “The YEAR“!!! As slow as March, April, May and June were, the rest of this year is flying at warp speed. My “Four Somethings” for November feel like a jumbled mess, however, I claim that proudly. We’ve all heard “the days are long, but the …

Mood … Sunbeams are Great, But Not Always In Reach
Mood. Feeling all of 2020 in the span of an hour before the kids got up, deciding today is a good day to be irritable, angsty, and in a mood. Forget the sunshine, friends, bring on the dark clouds, thunder and lightning. Feelings I don’t normally revel in, let alone savor. Even Ginger dog felt …
Want to Savor November? Practice the Pause
Before giving in to the frenzy of all things christmas, practice the pause, and enjoy this season of gratitude.
Something Loved, Read, Treasured, and Ahead … A First! (For Me!)
Have you ever heard of sharing “Four Somethings”? A fantastic writer friend, well, fantastic in other ways than writing, but for this occasion, I say writer friend, does a monthly link up article on four somethings for each month. The “somethings” are always the same, something Loved, Read, Treasured, and Ahead. I’ve read many through …
Transform. Shine. Let Go. Autumn is (Finally) in the Air!
Ah, Autumn breezes, falling leaves, cooler days and crisp nights … what a BEAUTIFUL time to think about transformation, amirite?! Even though the calendar just now shows the change of season, it’s been on my mind for a while. The smell of all things apple and pumpkin is like a magical spell for my soul. …
How to Make a Sunshine Sammich Between the Clouds
Friends, it’s been quite a week. I’ve ran the gamut of emotions, and unfortunately, some lingered like mosquitos, and sucked the life out of me. I was chastised by a neighbor for letting my kiddos have a wild dance party while playing with the dog (#SorryNotSorry), had some pretty charged conversations, and felt hugely disappointed …
Sassy Radish-y
Now that I’ve got your attention, let me quickie share about …. The humble radish. Who EVER thinks about radishes?! I mean besides me, because OBVIOUSLY they’ve been on my brain. I passed by radishes the other day at the grocery; they were so bright and cheery looking, they called my name rather loudly, so …
It’s Raining, It’s Pouring…
My ENO hammock was one of our first quarantine splurges (and probably the best, apart from my bike, a Trek Marlin 6, which I would hands down recommend to any and every one), as I KNEW I needed something for my sanity, with the kids being home non-stop. I wanted something that could help me …
Don’t Cry Over Spilled Glitter
Have you ever spilled glitter? Like, not just a smattering of glitter from a card, but actually spilled a packet, tube, or jar of glitter? I have been mostly fortunate, but my carefree no-glitter time came to an abrupt end the other night. I was cleaning up after dinner, tired (because, real talk, the days …
Letting Go
I know what you’re thinking already, why is this crazy girl posting pictures of dead leaves in JULY?! Well, to me, these fallen summer leaves speak of a release of burdens, if you will, rather than full on autumn prep of alllllll the leaves coming down. The trees aren’t anywhere near ready to let go, …
