Update

February Blessings
Good news! February was much better to me than January was. While it was, primarily, school-based, I took the time to immerse myself in the little joys every day.

Living in the Moment

The Yin to my Yang

2017 Thoughts
© I wrote this excerpt on December 19, 2017, as I reminisced about this year by looking at pictures and journal entries 🙂 Today was another calm day. It is funny though because I watched my crazy puppy while balancing my day with my older dog, reading a book under a shared blanket as she…
The True Meaning of Christmas
