    When I was adopted by my family, the social worker informed my parents that I needed to go to university. M knew when his eldest was a child that she would pursue tertiary education. Apparently, it is just something that becomes clear – the need for intellectual stimulation. While I do not consider myself to…

    I love the sun. I love warm weather. I love to sit poolside and tan. However. I do not love to sweat. I do not love to overheat. I do not love temperatures much over 85 degrees F or 30 degrees C. People always say, “Yea, but you lived in the desert for 9 years!”…

    As I mentioned in my last post, we took a road trip to break up our drive back from Paris in June. Since I really haven’t seen much of France, it was the perfect chance to stop into, drive through, and explore just a few of the many amazing small villages and lesser known cities…

    Well, it’s been a hot minute since I last updated on our status between France and Italy. My last post on this left us with an upcoming trip to Paris to sort out what we thought was going to be an easy and straightforward application for a Type D (multiple entry) visa. So, here’s an…

  • Lavender Season in Provence

    One of the images that I have always had of the Provence area has been of lavender. Somehow, though, I had completely forgotten about the season and so when my social media started showing pics from others of their forays into the fields to get that quintessential shot, I determined we needed to make a…

  • The things we don’t talk about…

    One of the things that always made me look forward to aging is that I would be able to openly talk about a number of topics that most consider to be off-limits or somewhat taboo. For me, I always saw the benefit of being “old” as no longer needing to care so much about what…

  • Communication – Open and Honest

    Communication is the thread that connects all of us together. It is when we cut the lines or allow them to get tangled up that almost every problem arises. These days, I am one hundred percent convinced that too much is shared with the general public. We have confused the concept of “open communication” with…

    It had been a while since Mom and I had taken a mother-daughter trip, so with life starting to return to normal, we made plans to reinstate them. With lots of options, we decided on Mongolia. Many people gave us quizzical looks respectively whenever we mentioned where we were going as it is not a…

    Although I am due to post some full write-ups of my trip to Mongolia with my mother, I thought that I would post at least something just to get myself back into the swing of things. Time goes so quickly that I was shocked 🙀 and dramatically dismayed 😫 to see that my last post…
