Everybody knows about Valentine’s Day but many have never heard of Galentine’s Day. It’s not an official holiday (just yet) but should be. It started with Leslie Knope, a fictional character from Parks & Recreation, who had all of her closest girlfriends over on February 13th for a brunch full of love & waffles. It’sContinue reading “Valentines & Galentine’s”

When Everything Changed
It seems like in an instant—everything changed. Life has changed over the past two years. The pandemic has changed healthcare dramatically and has taken its toll on ALL of our healthcare professionals (as well as other professionals and Most ALL of the people I know). February 3rd was Women’s Physicians Day and I attended a virtualContinue reading “When Everything Changed”
Attempting a Pet Portrait
A blank sheet of paper can be intimidating for me … I’ve been working in trying to paint our little dachshund.It’s the first time I’ve ever tried to do an animal. It’s tough trying to capture her uniqueness. Getting the proportions of her features right is a challenge! I’ve also tried different mediums, first acrylics,Continue reading “Attempting a Pet Portrait”
What’s in a Word?
Have you ever chosen a word for the year? It’s something I’ve done for several years & I really like it. It’s a word to focus on when I need to give myself a little “pep talk” …. ever do that ? 😅 I do affirmations & give myself a “pep talk” every morning. TheyContinue reading “What’s in a Word?”
More like Dolly
Happy 79th, Dolly! 🥳!I have to admit when I was a teenager and saw Dolly on a visit to Nashville, I had no clue who she was. I said, “Who is that with the BIG …. HAIR? 😅 As a teen, I thought she was pretty tacky and country wasn’t cool ! Teens can beContinue reading “More like Dolly”

It’s the Climb
Happy 2022 ~ What a beautiful New Years’ Day it was! I went for a run this morning in short sleeves. This hill is a tough one. I’m not sure of the grade but it’s certainly a challenging one to run or walk! It reminds me of the last two years. They’ve been a definiteContinue reading “It’s the Climb”
Dust, Hair & Dead Skin Cells…
OH MY ! I spent most of a day and finally finished taking down decorations the next morning. I love putting them up and and reflecting on the special ornaments that came from former students, friends and family members, some of whom have passed on. I really hate to take the decorations down and goContinue reading “Dust, Hair & Dead Skin Cells…”

“Chance” Circumstances?
“Rejoice always, pray continually, give thanks in all circumstances; for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus.” 1 Thessalonians 5:16-18 Those verses are a lot easier to read / teach than to practice. Pray continuously ~ I understand that. But Rejoice ALWAYS? Give thanks in ALL circumstances? Those are hard things to do. I’veContinue reading ““Chance” Circumstances?”
