Sunshine and stress!

I am so sorry it has been a while. All I can say is it’s been very difficult for the past few months. It was like my writing well had dried up. My creative voice replaced with stress and not enough sunshine. Depression and rain. As the oldest child in my family I have always […]

Happy Thanksgiving…be thankful for everything you have…🍁🍂🦃

In a time when chaos is everywhere it is nice to know there is a national holiday that encourages you to eat, drink and spend time with family. My second favorite holiday! Last year we were unable to celebrate due to my family being inflicted with covid. They were times last year I wondered if […]

Sarcasm…sun…and stories!

I learned early in life that I could defend myself with words. Particularly when using sarcasm. Work and home have been incredibly stressful lately. I find myself pissing people off at work everyday with vigor and enthusiasm. I probably should stop that. Laughter is the best medicine in stress filled situations at least it is […]

Illness and perseverance…

It has been a tough year in so many respects. So many trials…very few positives. At times I wondered if I’d ever break out and see light again. I did. Physically I am recovering. Mentally I’m trying…my husband, mother in law, and myself survived COVID-19… I say that seriously there were times I was not […]

Knock and the door will be opened to you…only if it’s the right door.

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder…

And with the Fall of summer…comes the Rain…

A few weeks ago we were inundated with fires over 35 of them in Oregon alone. I was one of the many praying for rain. Thankfully it has come. I believe we are down to three major fires from 35… it is a relief to me knowing my friends and family are out of danger […]

Smoke…and Tacos

Normally taco Tuesday is my favorite day of the week. Today it has been very scary. My family is caught directly in the path of the southern Oregon wildfires. At one point today I did not know if they were ok… Thankfully my family is so far ok. I am relieved. They are not out […]
