  • Let me introduce you…to you

    Hello. I’d like to introduce you to someone interesting and complex, someone you should definitely get to know…YOU! A typical introduction begins with your name and one of your many roles: This is my husband, Larry…I’d like you to meet our sales manager, Cindy…Say hello to my best friend, Margie.

  • WOTY Link Party: Connected in January

    You may recall that my Word of the Year (WOTY) for 2022 is Connected. It’s easy to choose a word in January, get all excited about it, and then slowly let it slide over the next several months until you’ve forgotten all about it. Like all good things, it takes a little effort to keep…

    Thank you Universe… …for putting Buddy’s doppelganger on our walking route. It was so fun to see them side-by-side.

    When you envision your Christmas, does it look like a Norman Rockwell Christmas…and then when it arrives, it’s more like A Christmas Story?

  • Festive bon bons – better late than never

    If you were to visit my home this week…first of all, you’d have to make it through the 13 inches of snow that fell overnight (thankfully my husband cleared the walks and the driveway)…then you’d find Christmas stockings on the mantel, Christmas cards taped to the door, and a Christmas tree in the basement.

  • Mom was wrong about coffee

    My mother was right about a lot of things. I wrote a whole post about lessons I learned from her. But she got this one wrong…sorry Mom. Coffee is not sinful. In fact, coffee is heavenly…it’s right up there with meditation, music, books, and nature walks…all indispensable.  I started free writing this morning with the…
