Last weekend I was feeling a tad nervous, knowing on Monday I was having repairs done to my bathroom. I had a leak from the caulk lifting in my shower stall that I opted to ignore. The idea of having someone come out and redo my disgusting caulk, and repair the wall, was stressful to … Continue reading What a Difference a Week Makes

Perfection – An Ode to Summer
Is there a more perfect season than summer? Well, that depends on who you are asking but for me, no there is not. I live for summer. Bright, blue, sunny skies make my soul joyful. Lush green leaves rustling with a breeze that dances on my skin? Heaven. While I’m not one to head to … Continue reading Perfection – An Ode to Summer
Progress Isn’t Linear
Progress isn’t linear. This is the phrase that repeats in my head as I backslide. Some weeks I am crushing it at waking up and meditating first thing. For one whole week I was up at 6am. By Saturday of that week I fell off the wagon. Lately, I am back to rolling out of … Continue reading Progress Isn’t Linear
Epiphanies
Lately, in my previously mentioned quest for clean, I’ve been having epiphanies. As I lay my head down at night to sleep ideas are bombarding me. “If I clean out x drawer I can move y things into it.” Or, “If I sort my closet to have cardigans grouped together, dresses grouped together, and so … Continue reading Epiphanies
Quest for Clean
I come from a family of neat freaks. My grandmother’s level of cleaning was beyond what normal people would ever do. The tales I heard of her, rigging up homemade scaffolding to balance precariously over the stairs to clean a window. Her daughters followed suit although my poor mother had four kids who were a … Continue reading Quest for Clean

Better
Things are slowly getting better. I’m moving more, not napping during the week. I’m reading again, I’m writing again. I’m finding balance between rest and productivity, whereas before I was all rest, yet never feeling rested. Today I watched a video from an immunologist at University of Michigan who thinks this is the year the … Continue reading Better
2022
The start of a new year generally brings hope but since 2020, hope seems futile. I was tremendously hopeful for 2020 and then it went down the crapper real fast. 2021, I hoped would be better. Vaccines were coming, clearly people would do the right thing and the world would get back on track. Well, … Continue reading 2022
Week One
Week one of the new year complete, and again, I am living through events I never thought I’d see (and never wanted to see) in my lifetime. Insurrectionists were storming the Capitol building in DC to stop democracy in action. A president who has spent most of the last four years on Twitter eerily silent … Continue reading Week One
2021
2021. The New Year I, and many, have been waiting desperately for. The dumpster fire year that was 2020 had its last moment. The clock struck midnight, and with it, I am choosing hope. While the changing of a calendar page or the stroke of midnight doesn’t make our problems vanish, it does feel like … Continue reading 2021
