Here we are closing up the year 2015. And as people do, I’m thinking about what has gone by and how to plan for the new year ahead. 2015 was my year of EMPOWERMENT and ENERGY improvement. While some of the more concrete items on that list (car maintenance class, for example) were not completed,

dye job.
For years and years, I’ve dreamed of dyeing my care a crazy color just to do it. I never had the nerve. I dislike how I look so much that I have a strong desire NOT to draw attention to myself. But 2015 was my empowering year, and, while I still have an overwhelming negative

It’s Christmas Eve. The first day of the winter (what winter?) break where both girls are home for the day. As they’ve gotten older and busier, it has gotten more difficult to have a family day at home with them. In the past we’ve had a week of jigsaw puzzles, cooking, movies, and more. Now
