Unexpected Pleasures
Last night, hubby and I set out for a last-minute bike ride along a nearby waterfront. We (meaning me, primarily) felt a bit rushed getting out of the house and getting bikes loaded on the car… sunset was less than an hour away and we still had to drive to the destination. I imagined us…
Leaving and Letting Go

“Creating (in) the World I Love.”
