There is nothing noble in being superior to your fellow man; true nobility is being superior to your former self. ~ Ernest Hemingway It's the last week of October. Typically, Autumn is my favorite time of year. The days are shorter, the trees provide a spectacular show, it's officially tea/soup weather, and I can layer…Read more Working from Home: Week 35

Working from Home: Weeks 33 and 34
It is not in the stars to hold our destiny but in ourselves. ~ William Shakespeare Another two weeks have gone past. Where does the time go? Maybe as the days get shorter and shorter, time seems to move faster? I know logically that makes no sense, and it's really about how we perceive time.…Read more Working from Home: Weeks 33 and 34
Celebrating Life: Fall Harvest
A thankful receiver bears a plentiful harvest. ~ William Blake Wow, sometimes life just keeps throwing obstacles at you to see how strong you are.

Working from Home: Weeks 31 and 32
Anything I've ever done that ultimately was worthwhile initially scared me to death. It's been two weeks since I did a working from home update. Sometimes life events just get in the way. It starting to turn colder here, and cases of COVID are on the rise. Not surprising as more people move indoors. The…Read more Working from Home: Weeks 31 and 32
Working from Home: Week 30
You're imperfect and you're wired for struggle, but you are worth of love and belonging. ~ Brene Brown Wow, I thought smoke from the wildfires was a bit soul crushing.

Working from Home: Week 28
Be kind to one another. Everyone you meet is fighting a battle you know nothing about. The heat has returned along with forest fires. Smoky haze is not my favorite thing to wake up with. Whenever there is ash in the air, I always feel like the earth is in mourning. Maybe it is? Humans…Read more Working from Home: Week 28

The First Rhubarb
More grows in the garden than the gardener sows. We had some excitement over the weekend. During my morning routine while my first cuppa is steeping, I check out how the container garden is doing overnight. Some mornings I also get to greet our new deck frog. On Saturday, I discovered one of the rhubarb…Read more The First Rhubarb
Working from Home: Week 26
Not all storms come to disrupt your life, some come to clear your path... Another week has passed. It's the last full week of August. When I started doing these posts, I never imagined I would be wfh for 10 weeks. Hitting double digits seemed monumental. Now, here we are at almost 6 months mostly…Read more Working from Home: Week 26
