A Star in My Universe



Leap into Love
I have been absent around these parts most of the month. As I have shared, most of 2024 has belonged in the $@!tter. But that is life. There are no promises for an easy life, much less perfection. I have promised to be approachable and honest here, so I there you go. No hiding. My life pretty much fell apart.

So… How you doing?
So, want to know how the year is going? Here’s your answer in the metaphorical thousand words.

End of April, Earth of Mind
Earth Month is over but does that mean our work is done?

A Whole New Year
It’s time to pop the corks and say good night to 2021 and welcome in 2022!

Pink Roses and Me
But, just like these roses with delicate petals at the top of thorns, I'm still trying to bloom. For roses to survive season to season, you cut the rose off at the head, in fact, it's called "dead-head"ing. This harsh tactic creates beautiful flowers with diaphanous wings of petals yet oak-like strength of stems the next Spring.

It’s Spring… So I’ll Follow the Sun
It’s Spring and while it rained in my house and made it a science project, I’ll follow the sun.
