So, in case you didn’t catch it back on a previous post… I’m a Grammie!! I’m so excited! I started thinking about my grandchildren when I was pregnant with my first born. Lol You think I’m joking but… yeah… I’m not. I’ve been preparing for this particular grand baby since Christmas! That was part of... Continue Reading →
Rediscovering the Public Library
Do you have a library card? Do you use it? I’ve been in a rut of either not reading at all or only buying books - either hardcopies or on my Kindle. I love books! Even when I’m not reading them. 😂 When we were homeschooling we went in phases. Usually we used the library... Continue Reading →
Mindfulness
I mentioned a week or so ago, that I was taking up meditation again, I even signed up for a 40 day mindfulness challenge. It’s been going pretty well. I feel more calm through out the day and more connected which is nice. The challenge I’m doing is encouraging you (me) to be... Continue Reading →

Bread – the staff of life

Life Purpose
I've been thinking about Life purpose for a while now... Well, like my whole life, really. I think about my personal purpose. Why am I here? What is my significance? What am I supposed to be doing? Do I even a purpose? Do any of us? Is there really some big plan? Is there one... Continue Reading →
Healthy(ier) eating
I'm really trying to get my health going in the right direction again... one meal at a time. I'm not going to lie, it's not easy. You know what is easy? Running down the street to Culver's, or downtown for Mexican, or Italian... But... it's easier on my pocketbook and my cholesterol if I cook... Continue Reading →
Birdsong…
This morning as I sat in my chair by the big picture window, tea in hand, I watched as three birds landed on the recently filled bird feeder. I tried to catch a photo but of course, when I moved my arm they flew away. (This photo was in the afternoon as I was writing... Continue Reading →
