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…
Okay, maybe more than a minute and closer to *checks calendar* a year and a half? Yikes. I guess that’s what happens when you’re trying to keep going during a pandemic. I’ll do a more thorough catch-up post when I can (probably over Thanks-but-no-thanks-giving). The headline now is that I’ve consciously decoupled my Victoria Klum…
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…
The Journey began. My goodness, I look so exhausted. I WAS exhausted! I had only given myself a couple of days between ending my office job and leaving town and ran balls-to-the-wall right to the end. I woke up around 2:45 that morning with a massive headache and we had to be up (well the…
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.

It’s not that I had forgotten about my monthly update. Things are launching in some areas and others seem stuck on the launch pad and I’ve been working and nudging as seems appropriate. It sort of seems impossible that it’s already been six months since Dos Gatos Locos and I spent our first nights here…
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,…
(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)…
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…
