October 16th is a heavy, heavy day and I have many thoughts to share this morning. First of all, I'm the person who takes forever to clean out my inbox and never thinks to delete messages from friends. Example: However, I am so grateful now that I often don't delete messages from friends after I've... Continue Reading →
sick season is here.
I woke up to the plague yesterday morning. It's "just a cold" to a normal human - but I'm not a normal human anymore. I'm immunosuppressed due to a combination of RA meds. So I feel like I have the most terrible case of the flu I've ever had in my life - though it's... Continue Reading →
after an ugly day in the world, let’s all keep finding beauty in our own spaces.
Yesterday, on the way home from a wonderful visit with our family, the notification came to my phone that the Senate had indeed confirmed Brett Kavanaugh to the Supreme Court. Regardless of one's political leanings, this confirmation is so ugly and divisive, and feels to many of us as though it flies in the face... Continue Reading →
getting back up.
It has been the worst few days, physically and emotionally. Monday afternoon, my precious bestie left flowers and prezzies for Sara and for me on our front porch - even though she was sick herself and out of spoons to boot. She is just the very best.

Merry Christmas!
I've always liked Christmas a lot - but, until I met my husband, I think I honestly would have told you Halloween was my favorite holiday (and I still do love it!). However, with our first family Christmas as a couple, we had a wonderful family Thanksgiving at the lake all together with Mom, Pop,... Continue Reading →
we rescued our furbabies – and they rescued us too.
My regular readers are used to reading about Henry the Wonderpup - because he is the best lil' weenie dog/service dog in the land 😉 - but I want to talk about his story today (and about our other precious rescue fur babies too) because it's a special weekend here in our city at the...
