I feel rather strongly about this topic ……….. SEPTEMBER! The days are toasty, the sun still feels luxurious while kissing our foreheads, but the nights and mornings whisper that autumn is stirring, and slowly waking, after a long summer. September brings the first of crunching leaves, crisper air, shorter days and longer nights. The trees …

Let’s Let Go of the Pity Party for One
Has anyone been short on inspiration lately? Somehow, no matter the fact that I know better, I’ve allowed myself to linger in the uninspired, lonely world of feeling the heaviness of life. After saying goodbye to my 21 year old sweet fur muffin, I launched straight into a totally disjointed, and not-the-way-I-anticipated-it visit with my …
Things We Don’t Owe Others … (and more)
As a recovered(ing) people pleaser, the process of being at peace with yourself, and relaxing the high standards of trying to please others, is a never ending process. But I’m growing, re-training my brain, and working towards healthy rather than accommodating. I’m actually rather intimidated thinking about putting this out there, as if I’m an …
The Simple Joy of a Fantastic Outdoor Space
Where’s your place, in your place? You know, the place in your home you find when you need a break, or peace, the place that encourages calm, quiet, introspection, or focus? For me, it’s my balcony. (I say in your home, because ideally, the woods take the number one spot, but reasonably, I can’t just …

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, …
