Turns out, that even with time on my hands I did not perfect a Gluten Free bread recipe, learn the piano or brush up on my Spanish. Nor did I even try. I am not coming out of this in the best shape of my life. Conversely and thankfully, I have not put on the […]

I almost ate my words…
Be Great I wrote a few days ago. Be great. We were already aware of the total chaos that was beginning to roll out. The devastating blow to hit industry was already made. We were already seeing the impact on our global community. Our immediate circle, you know the 6 degrees of separation, had already […]
Be Great.
I have a Boys and Girls Club T shirt that has that written across the chest. Be Great. I sort of love that. Be Great. It means so many things. Be a great human. Be a great parent, a great partner. Be great at your job…but what does it really mean to be great at […]
I am so high.
I’m so high right now. Does this ever happen to you? You feel high? I mean like a sweet gentle, natural, life is beautiful, the grass is the perfect shade of green, the sun feels so warm and gentle on my shoulders, even my eyes are glassy, blissed out kind of high? On life. I […]
Oh….Fall again?
I remember, as a kid, the night before the first day of school I would have trouble sleeping. I was anxious, excited, overwhelmed. My mom was a school teacher and one year she confided in me that she too, had all of those same feelings the night before the first day….WHAT???? I remember thinking….it NEVER […]
I give up….Hellloo?
Does anyone even clean their house anymore? Or go to work? I mean, like a job? Or, have real discussions? One where one might not agree with the other person, and yet you discuss, not just argue and point fingers? This past weekend my #farmboy had to go downtown on both days to work. Now, […]

tell your heart to beat again.
I had jury duty. In Kentucky. Why Kentucky? Funny you should ask. When I moved from Vermont to Chicago, I learned that in order to get my license here in Illinois, I was going to have to take the driver’s test. The WRITTEN test! WTF. So, seeing that our farm is in Kentucky, […]
DOES LIFE HAVE PURPOSE?
My hairdresser moved. Not far. But the route which I once had on autopilot I now have to think about. I now have to think highway or “low” way? When I WAZE it, I am directed to take the highway. However, I think I happen to prefer the non highway way…It’s been a few months […]
on a lighter note…
I had a really super great long President’s Weekend, and hope you did too! Sort of last minute my #babygirl and her beau came home for the weekend! Yeah me! She actually said aloud that she wanted to come home and that she missed me! WHAH. Yeah me! I must say it is weird to […]
