My last blog post was written after a trip to the Bahamas and I vowed to write more about my travel adventures. I’ve had 3 more trips since then planned but cancelled due to various reasons. Life has taken a turn for the unexpected with a cancer diagnosis in someone close to me and faultering…Read more »

I can only do so many mundane editoral type blog posts. I decided since travel has opened back up and I am traveling again, I figured I would write more about my adventures in traveling here on word press. My latest adventure was to the Bahamas. This was the first time I’d been out of…Read more »

“Have you ever heard a grown man snore,” my husband asked as he finished his beer and ate his buttermilk fried chicken sandwich stuffed with pimento cheese during our Christmas getaway to Charleston, South Carolina.

January 2021 has turned a different corner for me. Although, it is very real that the pandemic rages on, my life has gotten a bit more interesting and nicer. At least for the time being. I started the brand new year with a new job in a new field, doing something I’ve never done before…Read more »

All the traveling for the year is through for me. I’ve ordered my custom holiday cards that I send out each year and this week, I’ll be shopping for a turkey. It doesn’t feel much like the end of the year for me though. I’m sure the global pandemic and everything that snowballed from there…Read more »

I’ve been going for early morning walks for 8 years now. It started as going with a friend for something to do on a mundane, cloudy Sunday and it continued into being a meditative, sanity break.
