Reflections: Into 2023 We Go
I wrote this as a draft for another article I was going to submit, but realized it was a bit too personal to share on a non-affiliated space. 🤷🏽♀️ There is some repeat from an earlier post last week, but in any case, I thought I’d put it here for record-keeping and, well, this IS…

Happy 7th Anniversary!
Well, we’ve made it another year together! ❤️ I would do it again and look forward to every additional year of our adventurous life with each other. To be sure, there is yet to be a dull moment and while I might like some aspects to be a little less ‘exciting’, I would not change…

When a Soul Leaves…
I knew nothing about this person other than what I saw on TV when he was part of The Ellen Show or from his social media account dancing with his wife and family showing nothing but smiles on their faces. As many posts online state, one never truly knows what is going on the inside…

Planned Selfishness
While I was home I came to a realization that surprised me. I’m tired of ‘changing’ or trying to do so. Obviously, the core person I am is the same – and likely always will be. However, I constantly believe that I need to ‘better’ myself. Whether that is through what I eat, how I…

Beauty of Words
While I was home I had an interesting conversation on the idea of what it means to be ‘selfish’ and if anyone can truly be considered ‘self-less’ or ‘altruistic’. A deeper discussion on this might come in a later post, but for the moment, I want to discuss words and their meanings. First of all,…

Re-adjusting
It has been nearly a week already since I returned home to Italy. The time has passed so quickly as I’ve been trying to adjust back to life with socializing, routines, priorities, and the like. Unfortunately, my lack of consistent sleep has been defining much of my productivity – or lack thereof. So, my priority…

Beautiful America
It’s been less than a week since being back on American soil and visiting home. It is so nice to be amongst those with whom I am most comfortable and those who know me best. Even though I have not been home to visit for five years, it has felt as if I haven’t been…

Journey Home
Every now and then, I return to previous thoughts. This one is one of them, but perhaps from a different perspective point. There is a line in one of my favorite movies that I often consider relatable on many levels to my own way of thinking and place in this world. Jo says “I love…

In the clouds
When we are above the cloudsThe sun shines and the sea of white Rolls to eternity The soft pillows of fluff lay the groundFor the angels to roam and play It is a small piece of heaven that We can touch In a plane In our dreams Inevitably we must descend The puffs stretch into wisps Then turbulence hitsAs our view…

Today’s Joy – well, in January 2021…
**This is the original part of the post that somehow didn’t get published…** Since the finalization of the election results (before the January 6th formalities), I have had this countdown on my home tab of my browser. Each day there is a saying to consider philosophically along with a beautiful picture. Most of the time,…
