This question has been on my mind as I have struggled mightily with my mental health over the past few months. Where is my peace? Must I simply accept that this is just how it is for me? Surely not. I can't be the only person who feels this way. Not to be cryptic, but … Continue reading In a Hectic World, Where’s Your Peace?

New York Love
(originally written September 2018) I say every year I'm going to write about 9/11. Then the day comes and goes, and my account of that tragic day is yet to be written. One of my mantras this year is Just Do It. Call me Nike. Or don't... So here goes. I mentioned in my previous … Continue reading New York Love
Winds of March
February had to be the fastest month ever. How is it March already? Life is moving along, and I am eagerly anticipating our family vacation in April. I need a change in scenery. My couch is entirely too comfortable at the moment. I played tennis this morning and have lacked motivation to do anything else … Continue reading Winds of March
Hurricanes, Writing, Life
Hello, friends! How is life treating you? Here in Coastal Georgia, we are anxiously awaiting the arrival of Hurricane Milton, but judging by the gorgeous blue sky peeking through my window, he may have taken another route. My fluffy white dog is at my feet, utterly unconcerned with all the talk of bad weather. She's … Continue reading Hurricanes, Writing, Life
Dream On
Lately I love being alone in my house. Okay, who am I kidding. I've enjoyed this for as long as I can remember. When I was around eleven or twelve and my parents would finally let me stay home alone when my brother had baseball games or other activities, it was heaven. Peace. No expectations. … Continue reading Dream On
Down With the Lexapro Flu
Hello, Friends! It's been awhile. It's hard to write, work, care-take, AND get the fifteen-plus hours of sleep I need when I bite the bullet and go back on antidepressants. Since I last wrote, I had a promising appointment with a new doctor, and I've been taking a low-dose of Lexapro for three weeks. I … Continue reading Down With the Lexapro Flu
Moments That Matter
Sometimes I find myself full of advice. I have these sparks of wisdom, though it's rare that I share them for fear of looking like a know-it-all. I SO don't know it all. Occasionally, though, words fly out of my mouth before I'm able to hit the pause button and self-edit...and it's a good thing. … Continue reading Moments That Matter
So Many Thoughts on a Steamy Friday…
If I ever get around to posting all the thoughts in my head and notes scribbled in my journal, I won't know what to do with myself. It's been a hectic few weeks as we prep for a new school year while moving boxes out of our old house as we get it ready for … Continue reading So Many Thoughts on a Steamy Friday…
Rants and Recipes (if you read to the end)
Going to a wedding reception used to be a simple affair...before I became a parent. It was typically a celebratory event and even though there were times I wasn't sold on whether the couple was going to be together til death did them part, I was happy to partake in free food, booze and live … Continue reading Rants and Recipes (if you read to the end)
Enough With the Requests, Children
Now that my precious, darling angels have returned to school, I am actually able to remember how much I truly adore them. I'm no longer being the end-of-summer mom who survives by locking herself in the bedroom while the kids binge out on Netflix and whatever they can find in the fridge that always seems … Continue reading Enough With the Requests, Children
