My husband’s young cousin is making plans to come visit us for Spring Break. She’s 21 and super excited about getting out of the snow and cold for a little while. Not to brag, but we’re actually pretty fun for some old folks. She told her friends, yeah, they’re old but they’re not OLD. I’m not sure what capital OLD… Read more »
Look, I’ve had a pretty dramatic five months. I deserve to have a little relaxation and recuperation about all the craziness, right? Today, I booked a 4-night stay in the Riviera Maya coming up in about two weeks. Being near the ocean has always made me happy and being happy right now sounds like the best medicine. Of course, I… Read more »
The final installment of the #LoveMe Challenge is upon us. First, thanks for being part of this journey. It’s actually been a good exercise for me to think about these types of concepts, roll thoughts around in my head, and get the writing flowing. At times, I think I sound like a sanctimonious windbag, but all the thoughts are honest… Read more »
In the #LoveMe Challenge, today I’m supposed to share something that makes me unique. I have a wonky eye. When I was born, both my eyes seemed to work well. But my parents noticed when I was about 9 months old, my left eye began to wander. And I began showing decreased hand-eye coordination reaching for things with my left… Read more »
Something you are proud of – that’s the task for today’s #LoveMe Challenge. I went to Catholic school and we were taught that pride is not a good thing. And that always bothered me because weren’t you supposed to take pride in your work? I heard that an awful lot from people growing up. Take pride in your work meant… Read more »
Today’s #LoveMe Challenge is something that you love to wear. This one has me unsure of what I can write about. I do love a pair of high heels that I own; but I actually don’t wear them that often and when I do, I spend hours complaining about how my feet hurt. I have a long-sleeve t-shirt thingy with… Read more »
Something you feel strongly about is the topic for today’s #LoveMe Challenge. I’ll give you one guess what my topic is… I know, I know, someone with skin cancer harping on using sunscreen, I get it. But really, with the scary increase in the numbers of skin cancers being diagnosed rising exponentially, I do feel very strongly about making sure… Read more »
Something that feeds my brain is the topic of today’s #LoveMe Challenge post. My brain is something that has gotten me into, and out of, trouble all my life. When I was young and precocious, I made a lot of enemies for wanting to be the “smartest person in the room”. As I’ve gotten older, I’ve mellowed a bit; but… Read more »
For today’s #LoveMe Challenge, I am sharing something that feeds my soul. I thought a lot about this topic. The usual suspects like love and health have been a bit scarce lately. And my soul is pretty agnostic these days so the concept of organized religion doesn’t really nourish me. In fact, I usually get sad when I see what… Read more »
The #LoveMe Challenge for today is to share something about me that I love. I will for sure tell you it will not be my stomach or my predilection for diet soda. (I think the two are related.) Physically, I used to really like my legs. They were always a bit muscular as I was growing up and they were… Read more »
