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
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

Got goals? Of course you do. Let’s reach ’em in March. Deal? Deal. Yes, the fun, superstitious reputation surrounding the month of March focuses on ‘luck.’ But short of finding four-leaf clovers and pots ‘o gold at the end of a rainbows, luck doesn’t help our goals progress much. It’s just not the reality for most of us. Instead? Let’s … Read More
Ah, love. ‘Tis in the air. If we’re lucky, that is. Or, is it really luck? Me’thinks not, actually. Love exists within us all. It is ours to give, if we choose. And, it’s ours to show, if we dare. And we should. Enter: kindness. Yes, love and kindness are inextricably entwined. When we love in a healthy way, we … Read More

Oct. Issue
Change is Beautiful. Even when it SUCKS. The bedroom was pink, just how I liked it. My canopy bed was draped in dainty, white linens. Just how I liked it. My parents knew how to make a little punk princess-wanna-be happy. And I liked it. Yep, my room was my refuge. My hangout. My personal recharge station. I’d close the … Read More

July issue
No time epitomizes the small thrills in life quite like in the month of July. Air is warm. Fireflies illuminate dark skies. Children giggle as they draw circles with glowing sparklers. The great American flag waves in the summer breeze, family dogs swim and backyard grills are a’blazin’ with burgers, ribs and beer-can chicken. It’s the culmination of these small … Read More

April issue
Splash a little. As April’s reputation promises, rain and showers are, indeed, prevalent throughout most of the country. So many puddles. And so many opportunities for new growth and adventure. In April, the forest was teeming with new life and playful, cute critters came out to play. An avid explorer I was, propelled by a purple bike, feet dry in … Read More
March issue
A sea of kids gathered with their bicycles, ready for the challenge. We peered over the edge. I, of course, was the only girl. And the smallest body present. My big brother took off first. On his silver Huffy, down he went, then back up and around the dirt horseshoe on the facing side of the steep hill. He landed … Read More
February issue
Since the days as a pigtailed pipsqueak, I was a walking contradiction. Sassy, yet sweetly insecure. A sparkly girly-girl but sprinkled with a tad o’ tom-boy for good measure. Maybe you were a contradiction, too. Anything pink made my Lipsmacker’d mouth smile. Yet I’d chase anything creepy and crawly. Sparkly stuff or dainty dohickeys? Caught my attention. Yet anything rough … Read More

Determined, fearless—and fueled with youthful naiveté, my pigtails dove in. To anything fun, messy or daring.
