Originally published on April 18, 2024 Over the weekend I started reading Rise Above the Story by Karena Kilcoyne and shared an Instagram reel I filmed on Saturday when I was only about 60 pages in. I was excited to start this journey and while I didn’t have huge expectations, I WAS hoping it would …
What I’m Wearing… * Army green bomber jacket * Vintage white v-neck sweater from the /70s * Lee Modern Vintage straight leg jeans… these by AGOLDE (another fave brand) are very similar * Army green Nike Sky High – just wore them in my last outfit as well even though they’re years old, sometimes they …
What I’m Wearing… * Lee Union-alls in ivory (also seen HERE and HERE) they have PINK back in stock, I might have to get them! I also love the stripes! * Cropped sweatshirt – says slate blue but it’s more lavender and looks pretty much like these photos – (also seen here and here and …
Now that I am currently in the process of trying to imagine -or re-imagine– a new life and future for myself, moving from my current location to a new location is high on my list on jumpstarting that process. I still have some mixed feelings about leaving Lake Arrowhead, like the community and my friends …
As many of you know, I’ve been writing and sharing pretty consistently at Substack since February 1st of this year… After about a year and a half of wondering what was next, waiting for my next BIG IDEA and coming up short, I set a goal for myself to write every day at Substack, which …
As much as I love nature and being surrounded by trees and gorgeous greenery OUTSIDE, I’ve never really been an in-house plant person (although I would DIE for an in-house atrium!) Aside from my kitchen window orchids (a mainstay in all my houses) and a possible much larger and usually tropical living room tree of …
I had so many wonderful comments and messages on my Instagram reel today that I don’t even really know how to respond… I am speechless-ish. I am sharing this on substack too because I want to make sure everyone sees it… but this will be the only overlap Last Thursday when I returned home from …
What I’m Wearing… YES, I know, it’s rather boring lately, but I’m forcing myself to get more consistent here, as a way to inspire and motivate MYSELF back into being more of MYSELF (because it worked on substack), instead of this lame mountain woman I’ve become. And also YES, I’m having 100 midlife crisis’ if …
I’ve found a certain peace at Substack, a deeper sense of being and writing that I’m enjoying so much and I know many of you have been reading and subscribing over there, and I want to thank you so much for joining me on yet another life journey, as you have for so many years …
In the fall of 2022 I embarked on a self-love experiment. I didn’t really realize it at the time, but when I rented my own townhouse on the lake and started living by my own rules, everything changed. But also, nothing changed… at first. But eventually, over time, little by little, I let go of …
Light as a Feather… …stiff as a board. Last week during the snow storm when I was wild with stress and anxiety, I busied myself by making these pretty pressed pastel feather bookmarks and I honestly can’t get enough of them! THEY’RE SO PRETTY! Really, truly prettier in real life, as the camera can’t really …
QUICK NOTE: this white carpet is not stained but actually from the 80s and has navy blue and mauve “dots” created from dyed carpet fibers all over it… and I love it. And yes, my hair looks a bit ridiculous here 😆 sometimes I really do not care though, and it shows 😂 What I’m …
Happy February Lovecats! I’m not sure why January felt like it lasted an entire year, but it’s over now and soon it will be summer and we’ll all be saying I CAN’T BELIEVE IT’S HALLOWEEN ALREADY and then it’s NYE and BOOM! The year is over. How does it even work anymore? I don’t know… …
I snapped this photo from a video/thus the poor quality HOWEVER, for a little added visual, check out my reel on Instagram, which may be helpful in conjunction with this step by step tutorial. Am I the only one who can’t say or write STEP BY STEP without then SINGING… ooh baby, gonna get to …
Since it’s a brand new year, probably much like many of you, I’ve been thinking a lot about my life, and about hard decisions I have to make and New Year’s resolutions and I decided that rather than writing a list of goals I wanted to accomplish this year or resolutions I wanted to make, …
