A sweeter soundtrack for your story

I’m tired, and I forgot my soap and I’m here at the gym to shower, humming a Miranda Lambert song to myself. My love for Miranda Lambert, who is a very popular country music singer-songwriter I didn't know about until recently, creates conflicting feelings for me. Miranda Lambert sings about drinking a hell of a … Continue reading A sweeter soundtrack for your story →

Hello! It’s Saturday and I made coffee for two but the other coffee drinker is sleeping so I’m moving on to his share of the sauce. Such a good way to begin the day! I didn’t check-in with you all yesterday because I was feeling crappy and subsequently slept in until 9:30 or so. I … Continue reading Community check-in 4.25 →

A little later in the day than usual, but here’s this morning’s check-in. I was live from the shed in our yard, which I’m turning into a little retreat spot. It was 37 degrees F at the height of the day’s warmth, so I didn’t last long. I had some thoughts on making space for … Continue reading Community check-in 4.21 →

Good morning friends! Happy Saturday. We have sun in Michigan and I’m planning on sticking my face in it today, even if that means rolling myself in blankets and laying on my back porch like a frozen burrito trying to defrost. I’m also going to be sending some herb seeds to friends, so if you … Continue reading Community 4.18 →

Happy Friday, friends. I’m not sure what Friday means to you right now, but I still celebrate it as the end of the work week. Time to focus on other things over here, not school or work related. I heard a rumor about sun this weekend, so I’m feeling hopeful for that. Today: the dish … Continue reading Community check-in 4.17 →

Hi friends! It’s sunny here at this exact moment and I’m grateful. I am becoming acutely aware of how the sun changes my mood. It was gray all day here yesterday and it did nothing for my crappy mood. Very blah. I went outside anyway, and as always, it was a good idea. So was … Continue reading Community check-in 4.11 →
