Everyone has their reasons. My mama is mine. She’s been on my team for everything. I wanna be able to support her in ways that give her a fulfilling life. When we were little she made us the best apple pancakes. I love breakfast so apple pancakes were easily one of my favs. It doesn’tContinue reading “My Reason”

What is Working?
I have not failed. I’ve just found 10,000 ways that won’t work. Thomas A. Edison “I’ve fond 10,000 ways that won’t work,” sounds like a really great place to give up. Let’s reframe that. In the 10,000 ways that didn’t work, what did work? One of my I-give-up lines is “I don’t know.” What I’veContinue reading “What is Working?”
Candy Room
Yup, I’m sharing my favorite part from Willy Wonka again. I know I know you want new content and I swear I’m watching new movies. But this one right here has a special place in my heart. I’m sure it has a lot to do with there being a candy room and a song aboutContinue reading “Candy Room”
Date Night
For a dinner date, I eat light all day to save room, then I go all in: I choose this meal and this order, and I choose you, the person across from me, to share it with. There’s a beautiful intimacy in a meal like that. Anthony Bourdain Tonight is date night for me andContinue reading “Date Night”
Take the Ride
Laughter is the sun that drives winter from the human face. Victor Hugo Tonight I went out with the intention of laughing and having fun! And it worked. One of my favorite quotes from Hunter Thompson is Buy the ticket take the Ride. We were gifted tickets to a comedy show by vets for vets.Continue reading “Take the Ride”
Faith and Friendship
“Friendship is an act of faith in both each other and the future. You don’t have to be prepared, you just have to be willing to do something.” This is what my astrology said at the end of the day. And I’m grateful for this inspiration. There’s quite a bit of uncertainty when you placeContinue reading “Faith and Friendship”
Coffee Chat
I’m exploring coffee. Today (thanks to my amazing coworker) I got to try Mardi Gras King Cake flavored coffee. Community Coffee makes this flavor. I brewed a fresh cup and added Silk’s Vanilla creamer over the top. It was a lighter roast than I prefer but it was sweet. And look the packaging is soContinue reading “Coffee Chat”
For Those of Us Who Were the Quiet Kids
I know you know but you keep quiet to keep the peace. I know you know because you’re an observer which has served you well. Respect your mind and the unique ways that it does its thing. If you stayed quiet, trust that you stayed quiet for a reason. If you spoke up, trust thatContinue reading “For Those of Us Who Were the Quiet Kids”
Monday Reflections
Grace Grace means finding peace in the storm so that others can benefit from your calm, from your faith, and from your belief that we are all doing the best we can. Funny thing is that the grace you give has nothing to do with whether they are calm, faithful, or doing their best. TheyContinue reading “Monday Reflections”
Sunday Solitude
I’d say today was a successful solitude. Stopped at a coffee shop and read my book, did some meditating, took a nap, thought about hiking but read some more instead. It never feels like I have enough time to read but Sundays are the perfect day for me to get some reading in.
