Everyday.
I will rub the sleep from my eyes and greet the morning sun. I will listen. I will ponder the power of my words before they escape. I will offer an olive branch to those who hurt me. Each day I aim to fill with quiet moments of companionship. Read to me. Play your new…

Back That Thang Up.
Sometimes I like to metaphorically wash my mind. I take a few steps back. I think about an earth devoid of humans and our countless inventions. No cars. No high-rise skylines.

While Chopped would not be my first choice of shows when I’m feeling anxious, there are plenty of selections on Food Network to lift my spirits. There’s something about seeing a bright, clean kitchen…

I want to take a moment for a “Brain Dump”, the ever-popular strategy of writing down one’s thoughts, frustrations, outstanding tasks, or whatever else needs to be articulated before moving into a restful night’s sleep. It’s supposed to be free from judgment, and…

365 Slices of Life.
I’ve been unemployed for a year. Woah. I’ve done a lot in that year. The Husband and I traveled abroad to Paris, Madrid, Stockholm, Helsinki, and St. Petersburg. We also visited the Pacific Northwest, Colorado, and Las Vegas. In between those adventures, we took advantage of our tri-state area status and visited off-the-chain breweries in…
