This moment...

{this moment}
A Friday ritual. A single photo - no words - capturing a moment from the week. A simple, special, extraordinary moment. A moment I want to pause, savor and remember. If you're inspired to do the same, leave a link to your 'moment' in the comments for all to find and see.

Nothing can bring you peace...

  ...but yourself.  I read the most amazing quote last night in a book I've been reading by Lori Gottlieb, Maybe You Should Talk to Someone.  "Peace. It does not mean to be in a place where there is no noise, trouble, or hard work. It means to be in the midst of those things and still be calm in your heart."  I wrote the following paragraph two weeks ago, before ever reading the quote above.  In 2026, my 53rd year, I'm focusing on peace. I want to find my peace, protect my peace, cultivate my peace. This year's word of the year has strong ties to last year's word, relax. Relax is more of a temporary state of being or an activity that reduces stress. I did an okay job of being more relaxed last year, but I still found myself feeling anxious and worried about the little and big things, more than I liked. Peace, on the other hand, is more of a state of being. I hope to embrace peace in my heart and mind. Peace can be deep, stable, and persistent. That even if th...

Dinner...

Would two posts in one day be too much?! Well I am going for it! Dinner tonight was fast and fabulous, so I had to share. I guess I'll call it Tortelinni with chicken, broccoli and bacon cream sauce.

Add the other 2 tablespoons of butter. Sprinkle with flour. Toss an...

Summer Success, Part Two...A bit late!

 Yikes, I started this post a month ago! Guess it's been a bit busy around here. This beauty of a photo was taken the night before Lorelei headed to San Marcos. What a blessing to get one final pool day with my fabulous four.  I still feel like it's summer even though everyone started school this past week. These 100-degree temperatures are part of it for sure. I think the reality of my empty nest won't hit me until after Labor Day next week. It's the official end of summer, so although I'm late wrapping things up, at least it's still summer based on the calendar.  In my last post, I shared all about Jonas's Texas 4000 experience. Shortly after I wrote it, Jonas returned home. We met him at the airport and threw him a welcome home party. We had friends from all stages in his life come to celebrate his big achievement. The next day, Jonas and I rested before we had to head to Austin and move him out of his apartment into a new one. This was the first of three...
