Tuesday Truth. Number 56. Connection. Humans are social creatures. I'm currently reading Hivemind by Sarah Rose Cavanagh, PhD because I love almost all things studying "why we behave the way we do". And while there are many dimensions to the book, I just wanted to share this part from the inside flap: Humans have always [...]
Halloween. I don't need to tell you that today is Halloween. Most of you already know. Often that brings an evening that's often filled with both screeches of delight and horror. It's a time when we love to scare ourselves. Hauntings. We tell scary stories of ghosts that rise up from graves and boogeymen [...]
What's Up Lately? Episode 002. Since I'm mostly popping in with updates, it doesn't feel right to call them "Friday Faves" and also they may not always fall on a Friday. Today, however, it does. And since I need different titles... Episode 002. Secretly I'm hoping that Episode 007 will have something really exciting to [...]
Dreams. How many of you think about your dreams? I'm not talking about your hopes and wishes, goals and ambitions, types of dreams. Although those are important too! https://www.instagram.com/p/BgjZAyhAfqs/?taken-by=amy.lyon.smith I'm talking about the ones that happen while you're sleeping.

Photography. Most Thursdays I bring you photography of Doors from places I've visited. Today is no exception. However, in today's series, the doors are more of a subject of viewing than the subject of my words. Or put more simply, if you're here for only the photographs, feel free to scroll through the photos. It [...]
Friday. Edition 22. Do you ever have a week that seems like a blur? My week was chaotic. There are still so many moving parts with decisions to make, things to complete, and places to be. However, I did find beauty in those moments. Here are some of my faves for the week. Coffee [...]
Friday. Local Edition. Honestly, I think this is true most days. Minus the hot part! But today is Friday!! So I'm letting the other side of my new coffee mug represent today. Fabulous, darling, Fab-u-lous. The crazy weather pattern in Virginia continues. We've had numerous days of close to and even hitting 70 degrees [...]
Hurricanes. Today my thoughts are with all of my family and friends in Florida. Hurricane Matthew is barreling their way. As of right now, it is a Category 4 storm with 140 mph winds. It is expected to strengthen some before it reaches Florida. When I look at forecasted lines I see [...]
In light of today being St Patrick's Day, I thought I'd share my favorite Irish blessing. I first heard this blessing nearly 18 years ago. My husband and I were dating, but had entered into "considering marriage" territory. We had a whirlwind romance so that consideration came pretty early. My husband had bought a [...]
Yes... you see correctly. No, your eyes aren't deceiving you. There is indeed a cow in the backseat of the car. When I was around 5 1/2 or 6, my dad decided that since we lived in the country, we should try having some cows. This "experiment" lasted around a year. We had 7 cows. [...]
