Lately several of my clothing items have had loose threads. They’ve been caught on bag zippers, doorknobs, and tacks. Walking through my office is a minefield, at times. I hate loose threads. I don’t sew. Thus, my natural inclination is to rip it off. Sometimes gingerly and other […]
Yesterday, I did the unthinkable. I went out without my earrings on. For me, that is akin to going out naked. And, in particular, as I like dangling earrings. They jingle. They swing with the beat of my steps. They make me feel whole. I know that must […]
I often, jokingly, note how perfect my skin is. Well, not jokingly. Rather mischievous humilty. My skin is rather perfect. I stayed away from makeup and chemicals while younger. I had seen the facial wreckage from years of makeup use. I did not want that. Hence, fairly smooth […]

For the last four years or so, I have chosen my own word of the year. Proactively. Meaning that I select a word at year’s end for the upcoming year. It’s an aspirational or directional word. For this year the word I chose aas actually a phrase. It […]
Many years ago, I loved watching America’s Next Top Model. It was one of the “reality” shows that I loved to catch. Perhaps in part because I love photography and I love mixing up styles. What I really loved about the show was the smizing aspect. What is […]
