Know what sparks the light in you. Then use that light to illuminate the world. ~ Oprah Winfrey Last Friday, I was very excited for the weekend. This Friday has a much more somber vibe. To be honest, I didn't really want to write a celebrating life post this week. However, I know from my…Read more Celebrating Life: Comfort Food
Craftvent Day 10
The best and most beautiful things in this world cannot be seen or even heard, but must be felt with the heart. ~ Helen Keller I didn't expect it to take me another week to write the next Craftvent post. After all, Day 10 is a surprise day with no knitting involved. Life is unpredictable.…Read more Craftvent Day 10
Meditative Hiking
We are not makers of history. We are made by history. ~ Martin Luther King Jr. Being out in nature can soothe the soul.

Celebrating Life: Keto Iced Lolly
Some people grumble that roses have thorns, I'm grateful that thorns have roses. ~ Alphonse Karr Last Friday, we were celebrating life with gratitude.

Working from Home: Week 46
Be kind, for everyone you meet is fighting a hard battle. ~ Plato Today's quote struck an accord with me this morning.

As an introvert, I am aware of my…Read more Working from Home: Week 46

Die Another Day
"I know all about you. Sex for dinner and death for breakfast." Over the holidays, the British Hubby and I took a slight hiatus on our Friday night Bond movie marathon.

Working from Home: Week 45
When you act with compassion you will never be wrong. Wow. I had a very different working from home post mostly prepared for this week. After the events in this country on January, 6, I completely changed course. What the British Hubby and I have been up to over the past seven days somehow seems…Read more Working from Home: Week 45
Craftvent Day 8
Appreciate yourself and honor your soul. You would think since I had some extra time off the past two weeks, I would be a bit further along on Craftvent. Life is about finding a balance. While I wish I could knit non-stop for two weeks straight, my hands and arms would not appreciate that. I…Read more Craftvent Day 8
