In case you hadn't noticed, these are some strange times. This whole thing has just been totally wacka-doodle, but I feel that right now things are even stranger. I personally am someone who generally thrives on routines and predictability. I tend to feel uneasy when I don't know what to expect or when things are changing all… Continue reading New Normal

The Parable of the Mexican Fisherman

I… Continue reading The Parable of the Mexican Fisherman

It could be… Continue reading Some Things I’m Loving on a Sunday
May Goals!
As promised, I'm back with my newly updated May 2020 goal list. Since I didn't exactly knock it out of the park with my April accomplishments, many of my May goals are basically rollovers from April. Being the new month and all, I, of course, am feeling rather enlightened and sure that this month however, I will certainly be… Continue reading May Goals!
April Goals Review
Happy May Day! I wish I could say that I bounded out of bed this morning, eager to embrace a new day and a new month! But in reality, I overslept (something I very rarely do anymore) and borderline had to force myself to do my workout because I felt a little bit like I… Continue reading April Goals Review
