  • Are We There Yet?

    Are We There Yet?

    Whenever I say that out loud, I’m reminded of my childhood and the drive to my grandmother’s house every Sunday evening. “Are we there yet?” She didn’t live far, but the drive felt like an eternity. It wasn’t like the destination was something that I actually looked forward to, it was that being in the…

  • Be Not Ashamed

    Be Not Ashamed

    I feel my sense of humor coming back. I guess there’s something to be said about the Relentless Pursuit of Positivity… it allows you to see the good in everything. I’m hoping that my image is not as literal as it was going to be. If it weren’t for the sign, I wonder if you…

    Youthful Enthusiasm

    “Enthusiasm is the mother of effort, and without it nothing great was ever achieved.” -Ralph Waldo Emerson. “Youth” is a touchy subject. Women (and men) spend a lot of money to look younger – hiding wrinkles, dark spots, gray hair, no hair… the list goes on. When I explored Y words, I fell in love…
