Happy New Year: 2025!
Words for 2025: Focus, Stillness and Simplify As I sit and reflect by the pool or Caribbean Sea, I am grateful for the amazing life that we/I lead. We are fortunate to be able to travel as much as we do, experience the things we do, and enjoy life’s many luxuries as we do. We…

That’s A Wrap on January!
It went so quickly, this past month. We were relatively busy with settling back into home life whilst also preparing for our upcoming trip to Australia and planning the rest of the year. I have a feeling 2024 is going to go fast and I’ll start sounding like a broken record about the speed of…

How IKEA Promotes Personal Growth…
Don’t let the cute image fool you. It was a weekend of labor and not necessarily a labor of love. Part of our nesting activities has been planning what kind of wardrobe situation would work best for us as our current one is included in the ensuite bathroom. Since we are planning on remodeling the…

Remembering My Rules
Another week almost finished and it’s had some bumps, but overall I have no reason to complain – though I do. 😬 (I know…). First, an update on Motion from last post. I decided to give it a try for the year. There are a few kinks that I don’t love about it, but they…

New Scheduling App
It’s a pretty well-known fact about me, if you know me even a little, that I love a schedule. Routines are my safety net when the world – at least my world – feels out of control. It is a coping mechanism that I developed before I even knew of such concepts. Luckily, it is…

Tasks Done
For the first time since Monday, I am sitting here with an intention to get some writing done even if it is just this post that gets finished. 💪🏽 There is something to be said for regular work hours at an office rather than at home. Not that I want to return to that way…

Here We Go – 2024!
Well, it is exactly halfway through the first month of the year and I feel good still about the last bit of last year along with the start of this one, so far. Unlike some years, I do not feel a sense of starting slow or that I need to rush forward. In a way,…

Bits & Bobs
Well, it’s already been nearly a week since returning home – how the time flies. Somehow, or not really a mystery, I seem to have caught a cold. Just when I was nearly better from catching whatever it was during holidays. So, I am hoping it doesn’t linger long but it has put a little…

Home At Last!
Home after about 26 hours of travel door to door. No complaints here – it was just a long day. It’s good to be home with the animals and our things. Now, it’s all about catching up on laundry, reorganizing after having house/petsitters, and settling back into the routine. Anyway, got some things brewing that…

One more day of vacay…
Well, it’s hard to believe it, but we are just over 24 hours away from the end of our month-long holiday away. Our reasoning for taking time away was initially to escape the winter rains and greys that we had experienced the previous couple of years in Orvieto. Ironically, this year had a rather late…
