A book, too, can be a star, a living fire to lighten the darkness, leading out into the expanding universe. ― Madeleine L'Engle Thoughts on Reading. I love to read. For as long as I can remember, reading has been an integral part of my life. I spent many a lazy summer day devouring a good book. [...]
Tuesday Truth. Number 50. I thought this quote would be fitting since I've just finished reading The Gratitude Diaries by Janice Kaplan. The tagline to the book is "How a year looking on the bright side can transform your life." I try to practice gratitude and search for the positives in less than stellar situations, [...]
Tuesday Truth. Number 39. I hope that you are having a beautiful Tuesday! As I prepare this post, I am sitting on the deck watching and listening to the ocean waves kiss the shoreline. Yes, I am once again at the beach. My happy place. While I did escape the heatwave as it came through [...]
Friday Faves. Edition 68. It's been forever since I've been here with a Friday Faves. However, we are quickly approaching the end of 2018, so I wanted to pop in with one last round of Faves.

Reading Challenge. How many of you love to read? Hands up in the air! ...and wave 'em round like you just don't care! Woo Hoo! As an introvert, I take great pleasure in my reading time. Now don't think I'm saying that extroverts don't read. Because I know for a fact that they do. My [...]

I'm rubbing my hands with glee because I actually do have new developments to share. Fall. But first... It is fall, everybody!! Fall!! The trees along the Blue Ridge Parkway are [...]
What's Up Lately. Episode 006. Hey Everybody!! I hope that you all have been well. My life has been busy, but that's nothing new given the fact that my three teens keep me on my toes. Getting Outdoors. Now that the rain has finally moved out (for the most part), I've been making a [...]
Friday Faves. Edition 67. Say what?! Here on a Friday...and with faves? It can't be! It's true! Recently, you've noticed that I've been doing more "what's up lately" posts. That was because I didn't necessarily have any faves to share, just some conversations that invited you to take a peek into my life. While [...]
Friday. Who's excited that it's Friday?! I think that I am, but the snowstorm heading our way is threatening to make for a cabin fever weekend...and dare I say...create issues next week.
