I am so excited -- now that we've been in the house a year and it's springtime I get to start putting in a flower garden. Something I have always dreamed of living in the south -- a lovely, drippy, leaning-to-english styled flower garden. A place to sit and be peaceful, to ponder and enjoy. …
I feel so “mother Earth”…
Over the last year or so I've tried to be more aware of what I'm putting in to our environment at home -- I'm not great about it, but I'm trying. Today, I feel so "earthy", I actually made from scratch laundry soap. No joke. I am a subscriber to all things Joanna Gaines including …
Swirling…
I have been trying to decide first if I should write or not write what I'm thinking and feeling this weekend at all -- then which blog does it belong on. This one, my personal day-to-day blog or M2G . But what I'm feeling impacts all aspects of my self so I have decided to …
Girl’s trip…
This past weekend two of my friends and I were supposed to travel to Kernersville, NC to attend the "Come to the Table" tour hosted by Angie Smith, Annie Downs and the lady from "Against the Grain." Unfortunately, Angie Smith's dad was diagnosed with a rare, terminal cancer and they cancelled the tour so she …
Can’t breathe…
No joke - I believe this is an actual photo of pollen season in South Carolina. Everything I own outside (patio furniture, lanterns, bird feeder, etc.) is covered in this nasty yellow film and dust. I was doing great and then I decided to take a walk this morning and now the post-nasal drip and …
Refocus…
I have been so off my game, so distracted over the last few months. Sure, cancer has a way of throwing you for a loop, but I'm three months passed all that and I still haven't gotten my workout groove back. Some of it has been good and worthy distraction (i.e., writing, self-exploration, time with …
#23
March 9th marked 23 years married for Frank and I. The milestone that is today is not lost on me. Our life has been marked by highs and lows, ups and downs, and so much laughter along the way. I am grateful for him, and for the life we have built and share together. This …
A new adventure…sort of…
I've been staring at this screen for literally two hours. Just blinking away and putting my hands on the keys and then taking them away. It's been an interesting two days and I'm not sure where to begin. As I've written over the last few weeks or so, I'm in a writing workshop. It's been …
Surfacing…
I've been away from the blog for weeks. First with a business trip to Denver, then returning to South Carolina with a heck of a cold. Ugh. It's been at least a year since I've been sick, and considerably longer since I've been sick like that. I'm at the tail end now and finally getting …
