At this time last year, I signed off being online due to no Internet where we were staying. It was here, in this place, our new home. Now, we have Internet, and it's been twenty days since I last blogged. So, I think it's time that I get back on board and start blogging again. …

I am a woman, first and foremost. Living, laughing, loving human being; a culmination of all my genetics, experiences, and efforts. Then, I am a wife and mother, more wife than mother now that my only child is out on his own. Next, I am a friend - to my husband, mother, sisters and brothers, friends, and my son, daughter-in-love and grandbabes. After that, I am a writer, movie-goer, fervent reader, crafter/quilt-maker, fitness and healthfulness advocate, and spiritual motivator. To make a living, I have been a receptionist, secretary, bookkeeper, front office manager, accounting clerk, data entry specialist, administrative assistant, bulletin editor, database admin, scheduling clerk, website content admin, and social media admin. I am infinitely a child of God. And, on this earth, I am a country girl at heart who can do the city life, but would rather be on the back roads of nature and a slower pace of life.
Listen To Your Body
Hubs is always telling me to listen to my body. When I say I'm not feeling well. Or I'm a little tired. Or I just feel blah. Listen to your body. It sounds so easy. But is it? How about you? Do you listen to your body? Do you take naps if you need to? …
Writing Success On A Schedule
It’s been two weeks since I last posted and, boy, I can feel it. It is truly amazing how writing, or blogging, can be so addictive. Did I just say writing is addictive? Okay, I admit it. All these years, I have been warring with myself about if I like to write or not. After …
Fully Relocated From City to Country
And just like that we are living retirement and country life (well, not really, lol). It's hard to believe we are here - finally. Just this morning hubs asked me to pinch him. Is this real? Yes, it is. For The Last Two Months The last time I updated about our move from city to …
Learning More About Apps
It used to be that we would receive our social updates at the local street corner, the school bus stop, and even the local grocery store. Today, however, we are apt to "catch up" online. The Why of Learning More About Social Media In my last two blog posts, I shared what I like best …
More Movement For Health
Four weeks later and I have met one of my two fitness - or wellness - goals. How about you? Did you meet your fitness goals? I hope so. And, if not, today is always a good day to start. Or tomorrow, if you are reading this late. Remember, be gentle with yourself. More movement …
Marriage: An Evolution
Until now, I would never have thought of marriage as an evolution. But one day, recently, I was struck by how much hubs and I - and our marriage - have changed over the years. Even though right from the beginning, I knew that this man would hold my attention for the rest of my …
Writing & Writing A Book
Every now and then, little surprises can bring new beginnings. There is a definite difference between writing, regularly or randomly,...and writing a book. When writing, whether blogging, journaling, or otherwise, there is usually no deadline, the deadline is minimal, or the deadline is self-imposed, at best. When writing a book, there is often a cloak …
Making the Most of Facebook
I think we can all agree that Facebook is not what it used to be. I used to get on Facebook, way back when, and see posts by family and friends - news, comments, photos, shares worth sharing.... Now, I mainly see memes. What are memes you might ask (if you don't already know)? Memes …
