Growing up one celebrated one’s birthday on that set day or maybe on a weekend day. However, it wasn’t (at least not for me) a month-long celebration. Now, many people I know go big for their birthday with month-long celebrations. I am not quite at that stage but […]
I love getting up in the morning and waddling over to my windows to look out onto the world. I try to do it every morning, everywhere I have been. I get up fairly early with 8am being the latest I wake up. And, that’s like once every […]
Breathe in the air Dream of tulips Feel the twigs under my feet Crunch away on the granola and mars bars The chirping birds are giddy The squirrels blasting a nut It’s time to feel free No icecream worries No fretting over a pinecone A refreshing breeze And […]

We have entered the final stretch of the year that has been. December has marked the end of the year and the start of wintertime since ancient Romans solidified their first calendar. December can be beautiful when the snowfall first starts. And it can be dirty, mushy […]
I was standing by my bathroom window when a slight breeze swept in. With it, came a flood of memories. A 101 smells in one. Dejavu Woody Firestorm Musk Ocean Deep fried twinkies Cabin Mildew Key lime pie Greenery Pink lemonade Memories of summer past Mojitos Orange lipgloss […]
