Sunday Quotes: Discomfort
Feeling discomfort is part of life.

Sunday Quotes: Priorities
As I’ve been re-emerging into post-pandemic live, I’ve been thinking a lot about priorities. Rather than just returning to normal, I am determined to make conscious choices about how I spend my time and who I spend it with.

I love some of the habits I’ve created as a result of Allegra’s routine, especially first thing in the morning: waking up to her eager little face as she waits for me to get her breakfast ready, then sitting with my first cup of coffee and Allegra in my lap as I fully wake up.Continue Reading
Sunday Quotes: Patience While Waiting
Patience has never been my strong suit, and lately, it’s really being tested while I’m waiting to be able to get my Covid vaccine, so this quote is timely for me, and I suspect for many of you out there as well.Continue Reading
