Friday. Whether Friday comes fast or Friday comes slowly, it always manages to make its way here. I'll be honest, I've had a very mentally taxing week. I'm not convinced that Friday is going to reduce any of my mental drain, but it's likely that my support system will be more readily available over the [...]

Friday Faves – Edition 45
It's Friday! The Friday before Christmas! How did that happen?! I can't believe that in a little over a week we will enter 2018! Are you all ready? I think that I have participated in the weekly photo challenge every week this year. This week asked us to share one of our favorite photos [...]
Friday Faves – Edition 44
It's Friday. I can't begin to tell you how relieved that I am that it is Friday. This has been an exhausting week. Mostly because I've spent most of it in that "bordering on sick" phase. You know, the phase where you're coughing, congested, and have general feelings of malaise, but since you aren't [...]
Friday Faves – Edition 43
Friday Faves. Edition 43. This week has felt productive. I can't put my finger on the why, but I feel like I am on a path forward... not standing still, or worse, moving backward. Pinterest and Tailwind. As I move toward the end of the year...and closer to the 2-year mark of this blog, [...]
Friday Faves – Edition 41
Friday. It really doesn't feel like Friday. When there's a disruption to the school/work routine, it throws things off. Tuesday felt more like Friday because everyone took Wednesday off. Monday was really my only day that stayed on schedule. Tuesday I had a kid that needed to leave school early because they didn't feel [...]
Friday Faves – Edition 40
Friday. Edition 40. Today is Edition 40 of my Friday Faves. I feel like I should have a celebration or something. Edition 40 during my year of being 40. Seems special... right?! Anyway, just know that I'm doing a happy dance to mark my excitement. I know that might make it seems like my [...]
What I Learned From 30 Days Of Meditation

30 Days Of Meditation. That was the goal for my October Challenge. Contemplation. As this post goes to print, I will have or will be completing my 43rd consecutive day of meditating. My main thought as I contemplate the experience is... Why didn’t I start this sooner? Oh, I had the litany of regular [...]
Friday Faves – Edition 37
Friday. It's so nice to see you again. Fall. Fall has officially settled upon the Blue Ridge portion of Virginia. I'm hoping that I'll have some moments to get out and capture some photos this weekend. Sickness. If you read Monday's post, where I announced my November Challenge, then you know that Miss [...]
Friday Faves – Edition 36
Friday. Edition 36. Time for a round-up of my faves from the week. Cooler Weather. I haven't actually carved pumpkins yet. This is a throwback. My trees only have faint traces of color here and there... but... cooler weather has arrived! Birthdays. Also, Miss Sunshine's birthday is tomorrow and this photo reminds me [...]
Friday Faves – Edition 35
Friday. For many people, this symbolizes the end of the work week. A time to spend relaxing over the weekend. For me, it symbolizes the end of my large spaces of quiet time. The weekend is often a time spent cheering from the sidelines of Miss Sunshine's soccer games. A time spent driving to [...]
