    Tips and Tricks

    My daughter wants me to write a book for her generation. She says her friends don’t know the tips and tricks that make life easier. For now, I’ll share here and maybe one day she’ll write that book because she’s a more eloquent writer than me. On Saturday morning I decided to treat myself to…

    Sharing My Space

    Standing by the large wooden table I heard a sound that no plant lover wants to hear. Rumi, my Asian Council tree had dropped two leaves. One on occasion is normal for his age and size, but two at the same time sounds the alarm! I knew he wouldn’t be happy long-term where he was…

    The Fine Print

    This week, I placed an order for Ryze. Last year, I tried another brand of mushroom coffee and enjoyed it, but got burned out on it. I miss drinking mushroom brew instead of coffee first thing in the morning, so we’re trying the other big brand. After placing my order, they emailed me a confirmation…

    These 3 Things

    I noticed that I haven’t mistakenly written 2024 in place of 2025 this week, which is unusual for me. In previous years, last years date rolls through my hand for weeks, but I really feel I closed the book on last year to firmly step into a new year. I want to share three things…

    An Actual Letter

    I write to bring peace and calm to the weary soul, if only for a couple of minutes. I’ve been thinking a lot in general about peace and joy. My therapist is helping me uncover joy and she asked, “What sparks your joy?” You see, joy dwells in the heart, so I had to really…

    Someday

    I’ve been reading a book recommended by my therapist entitled, The One Thing, and it was written by a local Realtor. In Texas everyone has heard of the Realty company, Keller-Williams, but I didn’t realize Gary Keller had a writer in him. Now, granted, he shares a lot about business and leadership, but there’s this…

    The Chosen Few

    While making the first pour of the Chemex, I can still hear her sarcastic remark and it makes me chuckle. My daughter and I are the same kind of crazy. She taught me how to make a Chemex and I watched her pour one repeatedly until it was my turn to try. Each one pours…

    Cooking For One (Maybe 2)

    I recently streamed a movie entitled ‘Adam’ and it was very good. Adam is a grown man with Asperger’s Syndrome and at the beginning of the movie the camera showed how infinitely organized his flat was. In his freezer he had a row of frozen Amy’s Macaroni and Cheese, so Adam is basically my soulmate.…

    Welcome to another installment of Share What You Know. The years we’ve spent roaming this earth, offer ample opportunity to learn and share what you know.

    Share What You Know

    It was this time last year that I was walking though Wal-Mart when I cut through the grocery department and noticed two young girls, no more than 20 years old, walking toward me. They were squinting at a list that had been torn from a small notepad. No doubt handwritten and most likely in cursive.…
