Last fall I took a Master Composter class sponsored by my fair city, and it has changed how I view the world.
Composting Changes Perceptions

Looking for the significance behind life’s day to day challenges.
Big News!
I couldn't write about my wedding well enough for my liking, so I kept not writing. That will show me!
No Longer Me
Both All Our Wrong Todays and my Yom Kippur reflections showed me how much more comfortable I am in my own skin I am now. That is something to be thankful for.
Gratitude for Lost Opportunities
Knowing where I ended up makes past disappointments easier to take.
Looking to 2017
I had not been awake at midnight to welcome in the new year in ages, but that was my goal for New Year's Eve. I saw a meme last week that talked about staying up to see 2016 die, and it sounded like a wonderful idea. And it was a wonderful idea - but I didn't… Continue reading Looking to 2017
Fall Has Arrived
My favorite season has always been Fall. There is something about things getting cooler and leaves changing colors.

Somehow the playwright managed to give some much-needed, incredibly funny… Continue reading Play-Full Weekend
