The arrival of spring always bring with it a sense of added energy. An alive buzz electrifying the air. But perhaps this spring, that energy will be spiked with an added shot of espresso.  During the last year, every set of eyes reading this story endured hardship, one way or another. Whether that hardship was due to loss of a loved one, … Read More

October is the FAVORITE month for many.  It’s when temps dip, leaves drop, and bonfires blaze. We prep for changing weather, we organize, and we assess improvements—within our homes and within us.  We decorate with dried cornstalks, delight in pumpkin spice everything, and indulge in festive traditions of hayrides, carving pumpkins and spooky movies.  And as we enjoy these moments, many … Read More

September sets in with a bit more consistency of schedules.  At least, it once did.  Perhaps it’s yet another detonation toward 2020’s path of changing, well, everything and all ‘normal’ routines. Right?  Be that as it may, what we can control is only ourselves and proceeding with plans, as best as we can, to continually improve. To improve within, physically, emotionally, and spiritually.  … Read More

Pumpkin Cheesecake Bars Thank my lil’ pumpkin. (Okay, so she’s 24 years old.)  Last weekend ensued ‘Family Fall Fun Day’ at my house. We celebrated in all-about-autumn style with flannel shirts, a hayride, great food, a not-so-spooky haunted house, apple cider, pumpkin carving, a blazing bonfire… and this uh-may-zing dessert made by my daughter, Courtney.  Between this dessert and my … Read More

August means heat, sunshine, good times, and transition.  It’s a month half-comprised of vacation, summer sun ‘n relaxation—and half-comprised of a return to routines.  Yet, with the pandemic shifting everything in our worlds, this August may leave us feeling more off-balance than any previous August. The routines to which we’re returning look different, vacations have been altered (or cancelled), and … Read More
