🧳 Traveling with Kindness
Happy Sunday! This will be a short post today as I’m still in the deep throes of editing and rewriting. My editor needs everything finished and returned by Wednesday (love saying “my editor”). Anyhow, I’ve got a lot of work to do in a very short amount of time. Today I wanted to talk about […]
Never Too Old to Hit Reset: From “Holy Crap” to Healthy
Happy Sunday! Well, I did it—I officially started a TikTok account! It’s been interesting so far. I’ve only posted a few pictures, a text link to my website, and (believe it or not) a quick disclaimer that I’m not looking for dates. That part made me laugh, but we won’t dive into that right now. […]
Overpacked but Inspired: A Writer’s Travel Diary 🧳
How a road trip turned into a crash course in minimalism (and creativity!) I hope everyone is having a fabulous weekend! I’m currently tucked away in the quiet area of the hotel lobby, working on Dating Die-Sasters, socializing, writing this post, and waiting for my friend to return from the conference. Today is the last […]
Birthday Missteps and Beautiful Mountains
Hello from Philadelphia! We made it! Yesterday morning at 6:30 a.m., we hit the road and stopped overnight in Harrisonburg, VA. This morning around 10-ish, we set off again and finally rolled into Philadelphia by early evening. Yesterday also happened to be my birthday, and my friend Mary took me out to one of my […]
Gracefully Clumsy: Because Life is Funnier That Way🙃
Today I had a few moments of laughter that really stood out — mostly because they were directed at me. I often do things that are accidentally comical… more slapstick than anything. Today had its share of small, silly moments, but the funniest was when I decided to change my pants — completely forgetting that […]
From Oops to Awareness: A Blog (and Body) Reset 🤪
Have you ever written something, typed it out, and halfway done — then accidentally deleted it? I did. Last night. I had started writing today’s blog post and was on a roll. Then I needed to get up to take care of the dogs. Nothing unusual about that. Even in a sleepy fog (yes, I […]
Looking Back, Living Forward!🦋
What Would Your Younger You Think of You Now? The other night, I was watching a show where the four main female characters looked back at their teenage selves and how they had handled a situation. Their adult selves were dealing with a similar experience, which brought about the remembrance scene. They came to realize […]
When the Song Won’t Quit—Let It Move You!🎶🎧🎵
This morning, I woke up with a song in my head—and it stuck with me the whole day. The song? Bad Habits by Ed Sheeran. What I usually do when this happens is play the song on repeat until I don’t want to hear it anymore. So, I popped on my headphones, planning to listen […]
Off-Kilter: A Slightly Sideways Week
Hello everyone! I hope you’re all having a great week. I’m personally at a slight loss for today’s article. My timing has been a bit off today, too. Why? I have no idea. Some days we just need to stop and take a break. I didn’t really rest this past weekend; in fact, I did […]
VA Visit, Early Mornings, and Productivity!
Today has an overcast look, and it’s been rainy most of the morning. Surprisingly, it has been a productive day. Starting off with getting a little over 8 hours of sleep (which is rare). Not going to say it was solid sleep— I did get up twice to visit a certain room, but I was […]
