After talking about how I’m hoping my recent wellness tweaks get me back on track, the Universe, apparently, has chosen ME for today’s Test. I did NOT capitulate and take a Cetrizine and the allergies have calmed down considerably. Not much I can do about the lack of sleep, though. Oh, well. Onward and u…zzzzZZZZZZZZZzzzzzzzzz EDIT: Oh, hey! Swollen glands....
I haven’t been feeling my best lately. I’ve identified two areas where I can make wellness tweaks that I’m hoping will get me back on track. Vegan At Home Given my family history with eating disorders1, I am very careful to not put judgment labels on food. No food is inherently bad or good. Food nourishes our body and spirit....
Last week I celebrated the return of my photoblog and just realized it’s as good a time as any to point y’all to other places where you can find my content online. I set up a portfolio page on Contently. It keeps my work in a neat, tidy place. Here’s the list of places to find my content: Aggregated articles/posts:...
We can’t seem to go a week without another story of a boy or a man(child) who feels entitled to feminine attention and goes on a murderous rampage when he doesn’t get it.

via GIPHY Welp. I ended up spending a lot more time working on the home page refresh than I had intended, but it’s done1. It’s been a very long time since I tinkered with Cascading Style Sheets. Sure I could have purchased a template and made my life easier, but dammit, I did not want my front page to look...
via GIPHY I mentioned earlier that I was working on a refresh of my home page to spiffy it up for visitors and that I thought doing the coding myself was a great idea since I’ve also been itching to refresh and update my web development skills. So it’s taken a bit longer than I originally planned, since these are...
(Cross-post from Fresh Pixels) Now that I’m settled in Raleigh I decided it was time to unbox my light stands and flash units and start practicing portrait photography. Like all great artists *cough* I decided to hire myself as a model since I was already here and available. The first set of portraits (black shirt) was taken using my 40mm...
Well. Fifty-two was quite a year. Before I started writing this post I took a quick peek at the post that I wrote last year. I knew I was headed for change and growth and I was making definite steps toward…well, what it was I wasn’t yet entirely sure. I had found a lot of my life that was no...
A year ago, I had my DSLR. A year ago, I had my tripod to hold my camera. A year ago, I had my nice external flash units. A year ago, I had fully-charged batteries for the camera and flash units. A year ago, I had my light stands and diffuser umbrella. A year ago, I had access to a...
