What Worked for Me in 2023
HOW GRATIFYING it can be to look over the past year to consider the things you added to your life that actually worked. I love reading other folks’ lists, and it brings me joy to realize even tiny changes can carry significant weight. I thought I’d share...
When You’re Driving A High Profile Vehicle
Oh, we've had some incredible days! Including Day 5, when we left Van Buren/Fort Smith, Arkansas and drove to Weatherford, Oklahoma. It was a warm, windy day that knocked us around a bit on I-40. Still Tim handled it like the pro driver he is, and I got a great look...

Day 26: What’s Saving My Life Right Now
YOU KNOW I LOVE me some winter, so I don’t actually need to be “saved” from the winter blues. Still I’ve enjoyed the theme as it has been passed blogger to blogger across the internet. And so I thought I’d take a minute to consider All The Things bringing me joy right...
