It’s mid-year and July is here! With the temperatures heating up, I’m ready to pursue yet another way to chill. Literally and figuratively. First, let me tell you about June’s listening experience. Tuning into adagio music really did put me at ease. With its slow and steady beats between 55-65 per minute, it was soContinue reading “Taste-tea!”

Not Just for Kids
Noshing on picnic lunches, attending outdoor concerts, lazing at the beach, barbequing burgers in the backyard, bringing kids to the park, watching movies under the stars, hanging out in a hammock, visiting museums, vacationing with family, flying kites, catching up with friends, stargazing, swimming, chilling at the library, hiking on nature trails, devouring an iceContinue reading “Not Just for Kids”
The Little Things
Pressed for time, inundated with tasks, and perhaps faced with multiple responsibilities, it’s no wonder many of us feel overwhelmed. Add to that the constant barrage of information, data, and news coming at us from all of our devices. And, depending upon your stage in life, you may also be caring for children, grandchildren, evenContinue reading “The Little Things”
Here It Comes…Well, Maybe
It seems to me that whenever we get used to something, danger arises. That danger is taking whatever we’ve become accustomed to for granted. Like when we go to sleep at night, we take for granted we’ll find ourselves refreshed in the morning. Or that when we visit a Farmer’s Market, we take for grantedContinue reading “Here It Comes…Well, Maybe”
Sounds Good!
June is here and with it comes summer, as well as a new calming routine to experience! Yay! While I’ll get to that in a minute, it’s now time to reveal May’s results. Last month I focused on the power of the human touch. Three times a week I set aside 20 minutes to massageContinue reading “Sounds Good!”
…To Sweet Memories
Vacations not only bring us to new places, but offer us new experiences, connecting us to new people. Our trip to Salt Spring Island off the coast of Vancouver, Canada did just that when we spent a week there 30 years ago. In my last post, I wrote about the discoveries we made while there,Continue reading “…To Sweet Memories”
Holding On…
Sitting kitty corner in my craft room is an oak file cabinet that I painted white and trimmed in teal. In it are pendaflex files that contain manila folders that contain pieces of my life. Some are filled with medical records, others pertain to work, and the rest hold bits and bobs from trips we’veContinue reading “Holding On…”
The Same Side
We had been together four years when on that magical evening, June 5, 1987, we got engaged! Like any good daughter, the first people I shared this news with were my parents. Calling them in Massachusetts from California, each took a turn on the phone saying “Congratulations!” And I’m pretty sure in the background IContinue reading “The Same Side”
In My Hands
Yay it’s May! A new month means another calming technique to try. But first, I need to relay that April’s Quest for Calm resulted in the sweet smell of success! I immersed myself in art of aromatherapy. While I planned to diffuse scents of lavender, clary sage, and geranium three times a week for 30Continue reading “In My Hands”
Steeped in Inspiration
In my blog post from July 12, 2021 entitled “Suits Me to a Tea”, I mentioned that I have been a lover, connoisseur, and appreciator of herbal beverages since I was a teenager. When written, I had 12 brands and 21 varieties of camellia sinensis in our pantry. But like any enthusiast, my collection hasContinue reading “Steeped in Inspiration”
