I Like Stuff
I’m not a fan of minimalist living so I’m not sure that there are benefits, let alone big ones. To be fair, I do see minimalism as a good thing for some people. It’s probably nice to not have a home cluttered with stuff. I appreciate the time after I clean and straighten rooms in… →

Obsessions and Nostalgia
There are so many memories that I have of things that I was madly in love with when I was a kid. And by “things”, I mean movies, music, and as my husband quickly pointed out…people. I’ll start with actual things. I had a couple of authentic Cabbage Patch Kids and I was certainly a… →

Living the Dream
Screenshot Saturday This question today is asking about what my ideal life would look like as if it is something in the future that I am not yet living. However, for me, the future is now. I am currently living my ideal life. I even found a screenshot that I captured a year ago that… →

Ladies and Gentlemen…
Flashback Friday Ladies and gentlemen…once again, Katy Perry! I haven’t been to a lot of concerts in my life. Always admired my friends who went to great shows, but somehow I never thought that I could go see great concerts. I did see New Kids on the Block one time on one of their Mix… →

Baseball, Anyone?
I have actually had to think about this question a lot lately. Without revealing too much about what my new job is, I’ll just say that I have interacted with people who are considering moving to my city. Many of these people are coming from states on the other side of the country. Last Friday,… →

Still Enjoying It
With this prompt last year I reflected on the fact that a year before I needed a break from everything…grad school, my job as the principal of a school, all of it. Last year at this time I was enjoying the break. My permanent break. I had quit all of what was stressing me out,… →

Undone and Unsettled
Talk About it Tuesday Have you ever had an antsy kind of feeling? Where you feel unsettled? Maybe there’s a touch of anxiety mixed in. That’s how I was feeling last night because of things not “done”. There are various meanings of “done”. I was first bothered by our ongoing spare-bedroom-turned-creative-space project. We are almost… →

No, no! Not there!
Last year when I answered this question, I didn’t have an answer. I reflected on the fact that I had already done the thing that I was most scared to do, which was quit my job of 19 years. And to do it, all it took was a phone call from my “mentor” where she… →

Kind of a Let Down
I’m currently reading a book that I wanted to read last October. Remember when I talked about it in this post? Where Books and Movies Meet It’s the book Remain written by Nicholas Sparks and M. Night Shyamalan. It came out in October and I pre-ordered it because Josh and I are huge M. Night… →
