I'm truly grateful for the beauty around me. 💙

I just found out that our company has been invited to watch the Golden Knights from a suite next month and I'm so excited. Dinner out and hockey! What a treat for this single mom. Squee!

Life is far too short and years pass in the blink of an eye. It's time to go all in.

Let's find magic in all the little, ordinary things together.

I just blew into a cold glass of lemonade to cool it down.

I think my brain has officially shut down tonight. I hope you all have a solid Sunday night rest. I'm off to find my bird.

All relationships take work. Work relationships, family, friendships, and romantic relationships.

When you pour your loving energy into a relationship, it tends to grow. Solid, strong, able to withstand life's storms and emerge stronger.

You need to be open and consistent.

I let my hair down and it fell into my face, and it smelled of vanilla and coconut and it made me smile.

Simple things.

No, it didn't. Skipped all the time.

I loved this thing! However, I love my wireless earbuds and Spotify more.

Pencil? Check. I always have pencils. I just came across bins of my stepdad's old cassettes, too. 😄

Y'all. I found my old cassette player I used a long time ago when I went running.

I stood a few feet away from this sweet hummingbird for about 4 min while it fluttered from flower to flower.

How lucky are we to live in a world with colorful peppers, cheese, onions, sweet tomatoes, cheese, avocados, broccoli, blueberries, cheese, sweet potatoes, mandarin oranges, coffee, strawberries, and cheese?

Most fortunate, indeed.

Time to make an omelette.

Chopped broccoli, peppers, onion, sliced avocado, shredded cheese, small tomatoes, eggs, and a mug of coffee. Fueling up for a busy day ahead.

You're not the first to mention Deadwood. I'll need to watch it when I resubscribe to HBO(freaking Max)
