Palma Majorca (Oct 28-31, 2023)
Ladies’ trip with the fabulous A.N. in Palma Majorca (Mallorca) is a wrap with wonderful memories, lots of laughs, much chit-chat, and as an overall amazing experience. First, about Palma – the Spanish capital of the Balearic island of Mallorca (Majorca in English spelling). It’s an interesting city with a mix of flavors in architect…

Mixed Emotions in Travel
There is a mixed feeling of awe and sadness when I look out the window of a plane as it takes off into the air leaving behind the ground below. The awe is amazement for the technology that makes flight possible in a big chunk of metal and a mass weighing hundreds of pounds somehow…

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…

Thanksgiving 2021

Ever since I found myself settled in a home and the first time we all gathered as a family for the holiday, I have associated Thanksgiving with food, laughter, and community.

Creative Envy
For the TUA platform, we have had a few events that share the creative works of others. As I experience the events, I find myself envious of the community and the expression of their work. As a child, I desperately wanted to share my stories and searched for others to hear my words. Yet, I…

Expanding My Boundaries
When is it oversharing and when is it providing the story behind or into someone’s world? Wanting fame and fortune has always been an aspiration of mankind. History shares stories of the rise and fall of individuals and civilizations based on this desire. People have lied, cheated, and even killed for notoriety. However, is it…

Nesting Challenges
With our settling in to the new “forever” home, I have been having some internal struggles. A home represents who one is both as individuals and as the whole unit of those who live in the shared space. Therefore, expressing my own style while combining that of M’s has challenges. To be fair, we do…
