Pursuing things that scare me and diving into areas outside of my comfort zone is becoming prominent on my radar lately, so…I did it again. Yup. I cooked.

During that moment of silence, as the chimes played, I was eerily taken . . . → Read More: I Remember I couldn’t wait for the premier of season 10 of The Talk today.

At 9 am, after feeding me a good breakfast, my husband looked at me and said, “Wanna try one more time?” That was all I needed. A little encouragement from someone else, because I had been thinking the exact same thing. . . . → Read More: Almost A S’UP Thought For Today in the Cape Cod Times: “If you board the wrong train, it’s no use running along the corridor in the other direction.” ~Dietrich Bonhoeffer The train wisdom is running ramped this week.
