“Goodness is the only investment that never fails.” -Henry David Thoreau This is well said. We often wonder what we have left to give. This, as Thoreau says, is something we can give. It’s an investment for the people, it’s an investment for our future, and we get to give it at no material cost.

School is Back in Session
“Education is not preparation for life; education is life itself.” -John Dewey My day started out great!! But let me tell you, it wore off and when it did, it was rough. It was something about neither ebook for school working and other technology issues that really took it out of me. My anxiety wentContinue reading “School is Back in Session”
Getting Back At It
“It’s the steady, quiet, plodding ones who win in the lifelong race.” -Robert W. Service I’m feeling better. Not 100% but definitely way better. I’m ready to get back at it though. Slow and steady.
R&R for Me
“My relationship with my body has changed. I used to consider it as a servant who should obey, function, give pleasure. In sickness, you realise that you are not the boss. It is the other way around.” -Federico Fellini Today I’ve been fighting a cold. Lots of rest and soup for me. I’m hoping tomorrowContinue reading “R&R for Me”

My girls haveContinue reading “Snowy Sunday”
Flow State
“Is there something in my life that makes me forget time while I’m doing it?” Editing lately has been interesting. I have some writing sessions that when I look at the clock, I’m shocked it’s only been 10 minutes. Then there’s other times when I’m just chugging along and I look, two hours have goneContinue reading “Flow State”
Upside Down
“It’s not what you look at that matters, it’s what you see.” -Henry David Thoreau Perception is everything. The great thing about life is that everything is always changing. We get to expand our perspectives and grow with the world around us. This is what makes reading and learning so much fun. I get toContinue reading “Upside Down”
Tried a New Food
Ok, so I tried a new food. I’ve been seeing people add these to healthy recipes all over the internet. I finally found them! I tried pitted dates. They are way better than I assumed. I don’t know why, but I thought they were going to be a cross between a raisin and a prune.Continue reading “Tried a New Food”
Home Sweet Home
“You have power over your mind – not outside events. Realize this, and you will find strength.” -Marcus Aurelius I’ve been thinking about this a lot lately; minding my thoughts. Recognizing which ones are beneficial and which ones are dangerous to entertain. Years ago, I wasn’t comfortable in my skin because of my thoughts, butContinue reading “Home Sweet Home”
