“Reading makes immigrants of us all. It takes us away from home, but more important, it finds homes for us everywhere.”-Jean Rhys Reading 2020. I was surprised to find some time to read in June, but I did! If you missed my first "What I've Been Reading" post, you can find the Jan/Feb reads in [...]
“You know you’ve read a good book when you turn the last page and feel a little as if you have lost a friend.”– Paul Sweeney Reading in 2020. I mentioned in my last post, Choosing Not To Stay Silent, that later in the week I'd be sharing my reads from May. So here I [...]
"Sometimes, you read a book and it fills you with this weird evangelical zeal, and you become convinced that the shattered world will never be put back together unless and until all living humans read the book."-John Green Reading in 2020.

If you only read the books that everyone else is reading, you can only think what everyone else is thinking. -Haruki Murakami Reading in 2020. As promised, I'm sharing what I've been reading during the month of March. I've just finished a book, so it's unlikely I'll finish another before month-end. Plus, I typically post [...]

End of 2019. Here we are on the cusp of a new decade. Last year, I shared my top 10 posts of 2018. I enjoyed the process of looking back and seeing what the majority of people were coming to read. I wrote very little this year and so the majority of the "top 10" [...]
They say the older you get, the quicker time flies. And I have to say that I agree. It seems like just yesterday that I was embarking on my year of "this is 40" monthly challenges and yet here I am today having already made it through my 41st year. As I shared on my [...]
Tuesday Truth. Number 43. Sometimes I wish that life had a user manual. But, of course, it doesn't. And really, where would be the fun in that. However, sometimes some simple instructions are helpful. And it doesn't get any simpler than this. So... Pay Attention. Be Astonished. Tell About It. We hear a lot about [...]
Hey Everybody!! How'd you like that attention grabbing title? Did it work? Some of you mentioned to me that my blog was having issues with the "like" button. Nothing like some technical issues to welcome me back. 😉 I contacted the Happiness Engineers and they got me all fixed up. Now you can like away! [...]
Happy Valentine's Day!! Here's a little love note for you! Do you have any big plans for your day? We tend to have a low-key celebration. Probably some lunch out and then dinner at home followed by Netflix binging (and maybe some wine). Over on Instagram, I'm discussing the concept behind this photo. I'd love [...]
