Something weird happens around holiday weekends, such as this one, labor day, our anniversary, but then toss in a Category 4, downgraded to a Cat 3 hurricane, it’s sure to delay productivity, and get you off track. If I hadn’t known about Earl, I’m sure my day would have been a lot more productive. My [...]
My favorite restaurant in Wilmington has this phrase on it’s marquis board (props to who ever knows which restuarant this is!)… since reading it a few days ago, I’ve thought about how to be more intentional about loving people around me.

A few days ago, Jeremy brought home a gallon bag full of fresh blueberries. What else was I to do, but to make a blueberry tart and blueberry muffins. I still have many more recipes I’d like to make with these wonder-berries. Here are a couple of the recipes that I made and a picture [...]

You are beautiful. From wherever Spring arrives, to heal the ground.
I forgot to post pictures from the polar plunge that part of my small group participated in to benefit the Special Olympics. This was so much fun to do with a group of friends! The water was cold, but we made sure to be fully immersed, thanks to Suzanne. The water temperature was in the [...]
…lodges itself in my memory as if it’s a person, is beyond me. I’m reminiscent today of cold days in Slovakia, of travels to and fro, of Barcelona in March, the promise of spring, in the stillness of winter. Today’s weather is like that. With snow flurries, and cold air, sunshine, and freshness. There’s something [...]
