It seems I have a love/hate relationship with Pinterest. Anyone else? I love all the “stuff” it offers, the great ideas, the pictures of beautiful places, the words of wisdom it imparts. Like this one: One of my favorites. But I hate all the other”stuff” about it. The pressure it exerts to be the perfect,… Read more

It’s been three months since I’ve blogged. I am partly ashamed and partly surprised. I can’t believe it has been that long and at the same time I can’t believe I have neglected this little corner of my world so badly. I have never ever gone this long before. Needless to say, it has been… Read more

Glory, glory to this early spring day! Although I woke from a very restless sleep, my body groaning under the weight of its 40 years: hips and hamstrings, neck and knees, the outside world renews me. I’m so glad my 3-year-old wanted to dress and head directly outside, despite my opposition. The birds are so… Read more

By: Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe Lose this day loitering—-’twill be the same story Tomorrow and the next more dilatory; Each indecision brings its own delays, And days are lost lamenting o’er lost days. Are you in earnest? Seize this very minute— Boldness has genius, power and magic in it. Only engage, and then the mind… Read more
