Bloom in Secret
I tried three different techniques for fixing coffee, until I sipped from the cup that soothed my soul. The Chemex won and Goldilocks…I feel you. I rarely edit my photos anymore and haven’t for a long time. Every now and then I’ll brighten it if the subject is sitting in a darkened area, but I…

The Maybe Box
Saturday morning, I went to visit a friend for coffee and conversation. We’re in similar stages of singleness, kids grown, and nest is empty, but we both still work. Entering her home, you won’t find a single item out of place, but she’s acquired a lot from previous generations, and I didn’t experience that. From…

Keep it Simple
Some days I mess with my life too much where the simple turns complicated. Sitting outside in the alone chair was pure magic this morning in 67° temps, but I’ve been trying to find the right table to perch my coffee cup on while sitting in the chair. It needs to be low to the…

You’re Doing Alright
I was able to work in the yard without dousing my arms and legs with mosquito repellent for the first time since Spring. Yes, it was in the 70’s with a slight breeze blowing by. After the flowers were fed, I turned off the hose, dropped it on the ground and went for a walk.…

The Alone Chair
In this post here we talked about finding the perfect outdoor chair, but didn’t buy it when it went off sale. I found it on a different website regularly priced at the other company’s sale price, so it was like, “Come to Mama.” This year has been about getting good at being alone with limited…

Tail Wags
This song has been in my head for weeks, and if it’s not playing from a device, it’s rolling through my mind, on repeat. My daughter’s dog, Winnie, gets excited when I start singing along, grooving to the beat, and clapping my hands with the backup singers, but heaven forbid I break into a full…

Believer
The book was interesting the first time I read it. I enjoyed reading his life story, but didn’t agree with everything he said. I just chalked it up to the difference between men and women because every ounce of Stephen King is a man, when in reality…I wasn’t ready to hear what he was trying…

82 degrees
I was sitting on a yoga mat in a studio during a sound bath when I first noticed it. The air wasn’t cold, or hot, it was like it was the same temperature as my skin, so I couldn’t even feel it surrounding me and it felt good. As the outdoors started heating up this…

Just Getting Started
Here’s an update on a plant from this post here. I’ve literally been watching it bloom! It took all summer, but now she’s in bloom and you know what the best part is? She’s just getting started… Have a peaceful weekend my lovelies! Much love, Barb 🧡

Friday Funday
I asked Google Home Mini to set a timer for 10 minutes and it did. Exiting the room I said, “Hey Google…You’re the best!” Google replied, “That’s so funny, I was just thinking the same thing about you!” Walking through the breezeway, I busted out laughing, but by the time I reached the kitchen I…

One More Day
On Saturday mornings I sit in the most magical women’s meeting via Zoom. This group of women gather from all over the world, and each are in their own stage of sobriety, but we all have one commonality. To stay sober one more day. I’ve learned to have pen and paper nearby during these meetings.…
