After a very busy New Year’s Eve (got through everything on my to-clean list except the patio), I enjoyed a cup of camomile tea in a hot bubble bath and was asleep in bed with the cats before 2025 turned into 2026. The first day of 2026 was pretty awesome. I started with a nice,…
So, we’re about to turn over the calendar to a new year. And 2025 was…a lot #whew. While it’s tradition to celebrate a new year on January 1, I tend to wait until spring to mark the new year (not surprising, since I’m an Aries). There is one tradition I follow faithfully*. December 31st is…
I knew today’s walk was going to be presence over pace pretty much right out of the gate when I heard meowing in the trees near my apartment. I paused and called out, “Kitty?” and out came this absolutely stunning grey fluffball. He had a collar with a tag and the telltale wet spot on…
You know what one of the great gifts of getting older is? I get to define my Personal Best. Without all of the chatter of other people’s expectations. And my definition of my PB is a lot different than it used to be. I’ve mentioned before that this has been a year of transformation. A…
I took a slightly different route for my morning walk (I also got a late start and it was already hhhhhhhhot outside).

For two nights in a row I’ve had a firefly come right up next to me and put on it’s lovely light show, as though it was specially assigned to me by the Universe. I honestly don’t know how one could have such an encounter and not believe in magic.
last saturday, i decided to stray from my usual 4-5 laps around the pond in favor of following the other greenway path. even though i don’t go that way as often, i enjoy that part of the greenway because it smells like i’m walking through an old book store. but on this day, as i…
The azaleas in the WRAL gardens started blooming a few weeks ago, so I took a field trip to have a look. Photos will come later, once I have a chance to finish my editing.
So I’ve been interested in making videos for a while but never really did anything about it. Earlier this year I attended Amy Landino’s “Vlog Like A Boss” presentation for the Triangle Marketing Club and my curiosity was piqued again. But what? Why? How? WHEN??? Well, over the past few weeks I’ve had the bug…
