33 Harmless Things I Hate
Playing off the list I recently made of things that make me happy, my mind started swirling with things that do quite the opposite.

Time Capsule Blog Update!
So, we’ve made it. We are officially in the future! If you remember a few months back—actually I just checked it was in JULY!—I made a time capsule blog, a blog-sule, if you will, using FutureMe.Org.

Sometimes Friendship is Gummy Bears

The Lavender Milk & Honey Cocoon (Adventures at the Spa: Part 3)
If you’ll recall this post I wrote a couple of years ago, I was…anxious about my first ever massage.

The Year of “Patience”
As my final wrap-up post for 2017, I want to talk about my word of the year. As mentioned in this post, each January my mom, sister and I seek a faith-based word to focus on for the upcoming year. In 2016, my word was “give” and this past year my word was “patience.” Ouch,… Continue reading
