I haven’t written in a bit because frankly I had nothing to say. This time of year is incredibly hard for me anyway, but add the Covid factor and I was beginning to spiral. It’s no secret that I have anxiety and depression. I have medicated for years. I’d say that 9 out of 12... Continue Reading →

I can’t tell you how many times I’ve been shopping, and have had something catch my eye. I have to pick it up, inspect it, envision it, and then check the price tag. Once I see how much it is, my level of love is effected one way or the other. If it’s a bit... Continue Reading →
