Happy Sunday from NC! I snuck up for a long weekend after truly two very, very packed weeks. I slept in until SEVEN Friday morning, which is absurd for me but felt so good. There’s been so much work, mahjong (teaching and playing), a teeny bit of stitching and not a ton of downtime this …
Happy day after Valentine’s Day! I really do love love, and I love Valentine’s Day. It’s just such a corny, happy day. This year’s Valentine’s Day was a BUSY work day, and today is shaping up to be another busy one as well! Let’s be real, the entire month of February has been jam-packed and …
Super Bowl Sunday! It’s always bittersweet because it’s such a fun game to watch, but it marks the end of football season. It’s no secret how much I love football season. Last weekend we took an off the grid trip to Key West with friends and it was SO COLD. Truly, it was cold, rainy …
Happy February! I really love love. And any excuse to celebrate it. Catch me in hearts, red and pink all month. What are you looking forward to this month?
I shared in this little corner of the world recently my word of the year. As I’ve shared more openly with friends that word and my thought process has evolved, I want to challenge myself. If you know me, you know I love a good challenge. That challenge can be physical, mental, a fundraising challenge; …
Happy Sunday! Another cold, maybe snowy Sunday depending on where you are! I’m camped out at our place in North Carolina and I am thrilled to be here. I haven’t spent a long weekend here in MONTHS. It’s been a delight! This past Thursday, I took myself on a morning date to try something new …
Happy Sunday! What a COLD weekend. I think I’ve been cold for almost an entire week (or year). It’s probably because I started the week in Morgantown and am ending the week in cold Charleston. How was your week? Did it fly by like mine? I think the week flies by when I don’t have …
It feels like the first two weeks of January have lasted two seconds and two years all at the same time. Anyone else feel this way? Just me? I’ve been thinking the past several weeks, almost two months really, about my word of the year and what I want my intention to be for the …
Hello from sunny, warm Morgantown! (It’s not warm, it’s been rainy but I really love this house). I flew up on Thursday night and I don’t know what it is, but I always leave feeling so refreshed from my time here. Maybe it’s the house, the slower pace, the work put in to renovating it …
Happy first Sunday of 2026! It’s Monday. My favorite day of the week. Life happened, and sometimes life happens. And that’s okay. I’m so partial to even-numbered years, randomly. I think because I was born in an even year and it just feels so . . . symmetrical. The only thing that could really make …
