Home Ownership
This is not a post about purchasing a home. Or updating a home. Or all the expenses no one tells you that come along with home ownership. It’s about being able to come home at 1130P and putting a load of laundry in. It’s about being able to vacuum at 9P if needing to. We…

100 Days of Journaling
DAY THREE. Let the record show, it is 630ish in the AM and I am ONE, actually typing this on my laptop. But most importantly, I HIT 100 DAYS OF JOURNALING. Like I have a 100-day streak with the app/service Day One. Journaling has always been a habit I have wanted to build. I understand…

Fit for 40!
DAY TWO! I was hoping this would be sitting down at a proper desk with my laptop but thank god for technology- another post via my phone while in bed before sleep. I’ve been wanting to write this post for awhile. But to be honest, I think like most writers, I want it to be…
