Mixed Up

It’s getting chilly now so I took advantage of one of my last few chances to wear a fun outfit of thin summer pieces on one of those random hot days. Life is mellowing out now and I’m doing so much better with balance. All I want to...

School Days and Organization Phase

Losing a notebook the other day made me realize just how much I rely on having things completely together. I write everything down – sometimes two or three to-do lists per day that consist of virtually the same things. All of my ideas and random written work was in that notebook,...
