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.

Baking Bread And Grieving

Posted on March 14, 2019March 16, 2022 by victoria

As you’ve seen in my #WhatsForDinner posts, I’ve been sharing many of my recent cooking escapades. While I typically don’t bake a whole lot (other than occasionally tossing in some cornbread muffins), it suddenly became important to me to bake whole wheat bread. I don’t eat a lot of bread, though I do enjoy toast…

Four Years

Posted on October 5, 2018 by victoria

I couldn’t imagine my life without Simon Sebastien. Rather, I didn’t WANT to imagine living without him. Four years ago, my heart stopped beating as he took his final breath in my arms. I am forever changed. In good ways, for the time we had together. In not good ways because I’ve been trying to…

Wellness Tweaks

Posted on October 2, 2018 by victoria

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…

The Raleigh World: Month Eight

Posted on September 17, 2018 by victoria

Sorry it’s a little late, fam. Had a bit of a situation over here. An unwelcome visitor, so to speak. I’m just glad it didn’t completely trash my place. As I was starting to think of what to write about my eighth month in Raleigh, a swirl of clouds appeared off the coast of Africa….

The Raleigh World: Four Months

Posted on May 13, 2018 by victoria

Well, I sorta almost forgot to write anything about the 4-month mark of living in Raleigh. It’s been on my mind for the past couple of weeks, but it’s been a busy time getting my freelance business going. #WeatherReportByVicster We’re starting to experience summer-like weather: it’s been in the 90’s for the past few days,…

New Year’s Day: The Journey Continues

Posted on March 21, 2018 by victoria

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…

A Year Ago

Posted on February 26, 2018 by victoria

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,…

Happy I Don’t Need A Man To Complete Me Day!

Posted on February 14, 2018 by victoria

I kid! Sort of. I spent a lot of years feeling like a failure for not finding a lasting connection to someone where we complement each other. There have been lots of misses, but no real hits to speak of. And I’m (now) okay with that. First I needed to go through the difficult journey…

76

Posted on February 8, 2018 by victoria

In addition to being the one month anniversary of my leaving the Bay Area, Wednesday would also have been my mother’s birthday. Sort of a strange set of baggage I’ve got there. And given the cargo of those Relo Cubes, I figuratively and literally carried much of that baggage across the country, some of it…
