Peace for a Time
What brings you peace? Simple things…sitting next to my husband holding his hand or listening to his voice. Reading. Watching the rain. Petting my sleeping puppy. Counting stitches a I watch the needle go in and out of my embroidery fabric. Sitting in a room with silence. These things bring me peace, just not all…

Cupcakes & Cookies
If you were going to open up a shop, what would you sell? Why? Why not? Everyone likes cupcakes and cookies. Sweet happiness that fits in your hands. 🙂 Light & Love, Lori

I’m Curious about Everything
What are you curious about? I have always wanted to know the why of things. Maybe that is what led me to become a reference librarian and writer. I will research something for days, weeks even. Sometimes just so I can find out that it is a real thing. Life and humans are so much…

Appreciate Who You Love
So many humans take for granted the people who love them the most. They assume their family and friends will always be there doing what they always do. Then one day, you look up and those humans you took for granted are long gone. Don’t make that mistake. Show them you really are thankful for…

Unplug?
How do you know when it’s time to unplug? What do you do to make it happen? Unplug has two meanings for me. Unplug me from screens or unplug me from life. Unplug me from screens is a daily habit for me. I just hang up the virtual Do Not Disturb sign on my screen…
