Normally my highs and lows are spread a bit apart. Yesterday I experienced both in a matter of hours: an exhilarating, successful brainstorming and sharing meeting followed by some news that was hard for me to handle. I left work late, and then my car died. Started fine but slowly drained to nearly nothing in... Continue Reading →
I think we've officially started a new transition this year -- a warm getaway during the heart of the Chicago winter. Last year Brian and I got married in Cambria, California on Fiscalini Ranch. This year we switched to the east coast and visited Brian's grandparents in Ft. Myers, Florida. "No matter what else we... Continue Reading →
My aunt suggested I share my Camino photo collage on-line, and so I found a way to make it happen! There are 15 parts, each the length of its song. Enjoy one or two or let the playlist run. Sit back, relax, and enjoy. ❤

I'm walking the Camino again. . . Sort of. Now a little over a year after my walk, I've begun posting pics on Instagram (which I realized I could also connect to Facebook -- and then realized I could connect to Twitter!) Reliving the walk has been both a blessing and a curse. A deep... Continue Reading →
I've been meaning to get into some reading, and this Thanksgiving weekend provided just the opportunity! Got one library book out of the way, as well as finishing up an audio book on Hoopla and reading through a book on my bookshelf. My goal is to read through all of the books I own by...

Yesterday was 1111 (18!). If you haven't started already, it's time to thinking about your next start! What have been itching to create? What have you been longing for?
