Ah yes...it's that time of year again....

Happy Early Single Awareness Day! Ok so most who know me know I have a love/hate relationship with the "holiday" known as Valentine's Day. It's one of my favorite holidays for the simple fact that it is supposed to be about sharing and spreading love. To me that is one of the purest things out there. On the other hand there is the commercialism and over indulgence is coupledom that is Valentine's Day...the roses, the candles, cards and chocolates. Once a year I get super excited and super depressed in one fatal swoop. I enjoy sending my friends and family small notes of love via a Vday card....some send Xmas cards....I send Vday cards. On the other hand for some time now I haven't had a Valentine to really call my own. Its the one day of the year you can just feel so bad all because you don't have that one special person to call yours. It's starting to feel like I go on this rant every year but I can't help it. So now that I've gotten that off my chest and no longer want to acknowledge the void in my life, why not end on a positive note. Happy Love Day.

Three states, One Girl

No, this is not the beginning of a bad joke. It's actually the beginning of a cool trip. I had a conference in Boston a couple of weeks ago. That was my first time in MA, while there I took the opportunity to check off a couple of additional NE states that I'd never been too. Depending on who you ask NY may or may not be considered NE but in any case previously I'd only been as far north as CT. With this trip I also saw NH & ME. I actually had to look up the abbreviation for Maine because I'd never been and couldn't remember what it was 😅.  Coastal Maine was beautiful. I've obviously been on the east coast waters before but seeing it as a lush green forestscape was another thing entirely. I definitely see why it's the setting of so many Stephen King stories, it's hauntingly beautiful. New Hampshire was a bit more rustic than I expected in the most delightful way. Massachusetts (Boston) was fun to explore and I spent so much time doing something I ne...

Another trip around the sun

Moe-vember was one for the books. First I celebrated with a RenFest celebration at the first ever Fall Fling.  The weather was beautiful,  the mead was flowing and the vibes were immaculate. Birthday/Black Friday treat to myself? Taylor Swift's The Tortured Poets Department: The Anthology. Then we went on a Bahamian cruise (Celebrity Silhouette). Then we spent a few days with J's family and spent more time at the beach. And then we went to my favorite park and just hung out and caught up with friends. This year has been full of new adventures, old favorites, lessons learned and lots of laughs. Thank you to everyone who celebrated Moe-vember (extended til December 7th 😅) with me and followed along. I'm a lucky girlie to be surrounded by so many folks who love and care about lil ol' me. Until next post...laters

New Year Eve

Last mirror selfie of 2024. There's something about looking so dang adorable in a dirty bathroom mirror that sort of sums up my year to be honest. Finding the beauty in the situation. Honestly, I've had such a year of adventures,  growth, some of the lowest lows, and highest highs. This was a year of gratitude & pain truly. Thank you all for being a part of my 2024 story. Let's see what 2025 has to offer, together. Until next post (year), laters #HappyNewYear #2024 #2025
