When Technology Takes a Day Off: An Unexpected Pause in a Connected World📱📞📱
Mid-Week Mishap I was all set to write my blog yesterday—truly, I was—then the unthinkable happened… I didn’t have phone service! What?! No, I can’t be without my phone!

Midweek Musings: Stepping Out of the Comfort Zone. 📦
Happy Mid-Week, Everyone! As I sit here writing this post, remembering last year and thinking about everything that is still to come in the new year, I find myself feeling a little overwhelmed.

The day completely slipped away from me. The past few days have been filled with organizing and cleaning, and this evening, I finally sat down to check emails and do a little editing. But as so often happens, I got distracted… then had an appointment… and then—CRAP! I realized I hadn’t written today’s blog post. […]
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 […]
