It’s 10:25 pm and I have a headache. I haven’t slept well in days (make that weeks), and I have a sink full of dishes. I was planning to post before 3pm, too. I could write, and do chores, but, you know what? I’m going to relax, and watch a movie until I fall asleep. I need …

The last weekend of June I went on a road trip to San Antonio and test drove an extraordinary vehicle. You may be thinking “you go on A LOT of trips, woman!” and you are correct. I love travel and adventure and I designed a life that incorporates a lot of that, of course. It …

When I officially started blogging back in 2004 (yup, that was a LONG time ago!), I was the only one in over 100 mile radius and people looked at me like I was weird [well, they still do… because I really am weird lol]. Nowadays, it seems that everyone and their cousins have a blog, …
Many people believe that if you are a good person and often feel stressed out, drained, and overwhelmed, it must be that you are surrounded by toxic people.
