This blog based on the alphabet must come to an end. It has been fun, challenging and very frustrating. I have so many thoughts in my head, but getting them on paper is so very difficult for me. In the future, I hope I can return to this blog with insight not afraid to censor […]

“Quaint: pleasingly odd, old-fashioned, unusual, curious, fanciful, whimsical, captivating, enchanting” That’s it! That is how I want to describe my “mature” self. Not old, dull, boring, stuck in the mud, stupid, forgetful – even if I sometimes feel that way. I’m tired 75% of the time, my joints hurt, I’m not inspired, my creativity seems […]

Two posts in one this month as I missed July completely. My eldest son was ill so I spent most of July being Mom and nurse. It was worth it! It is with heavy heart that I write this post as I am still reeling from the sudden death of Robin Williams. We have lost […]
