What’s your Game?
Do you play in your daily life? What says “playtime” to you? Everyone needs an outlet that is fun. Remember playing pretend with your friends when you were small? That imagination and freedom to use it is a direct killer of stress and anxiety. For me I roll dice in table top games like D&D,…

Get out of my Way
What are your biggest challenges? By far my biggest challenge to anything I do is me. My own impulsive thoughts or my inability to make a decision. Can I do this? Am I good enough? That’s so silly. Because all of that happens in my head. I got this. I can do hard things. Light…

It’s the smells
What makes you feel nostalgic? Warm cookies just out of the oven. Cut grass. Thunder storms. Honeysuckle in full bloom. Fresh brewed coffee. My husband’s neck when we embrace. Salt water in the air. Baby snuggles. Texas heat. Yes it has a scent, so does a crisp cool spring day in Florida. So many smells.…

Go Octopi!
If you started a sports team, what would the colors and mascot be? I would start a soccer (football) team. Colors would be teal and orange. Our mascot would be an octopus. I can see it now! Can you see it? Light & Love, Lori

266 Days
I have been off social media for 266 days. That is 266 days of no mindless scrolling. There are three exceptions to my social media fast. When someone says “Hey did you see I posted…?” I have gone to look at particular posts. Almost all of them from my family with a few, very few…

To Cow or not to Cow
What are your feelings about eating meat? I’m not a vegetarian. I like red meat. However, all social and cultural reasons aside, I can’t ignore the proof that not eating animal products saved my mother’s life. Her doctors gave her 5 years to live with a newly diagnosed genetic disease and that was 7 years…
