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 Media site from this one....
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 with hummus or avocado. To...
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 plan was to be up)...
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....
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 in Raleigh. I was excited,...
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, but the humidity hasn’t been...
(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...
I’ve sort of ghosted from my humble little blog recently. Sometimes I get so busy living life that I neglect to check in. So what have I been up to in Month Two? Visits to the Farmers Market and Library, so I can nourish my body and feed my curiosity. Also, I was considering ways that I might follow...
