Life of a Renaissance Gal
Easter Bonnet, 1953 (org source unknown) via Retroette I’ve been having trouble getting on track; I blame the weather and dog ills. Charlotte hurt her knee but seems to be doing better. Hopefully we can return to our regular walks soon. They help keep me sane. A happy story 24 years later. Ikea around the…
Reading… Where the Crawdads Sing. It took me a little while to get into this book but when I did, I couldn’t put it down. It’s the story of Kya, a girl (around 6 years old at the time the story commences) whose entire family, one by one, abandons her, leaving her to fend for…
Watching… Mrs. Wilson. This true story of a man with four families would be interesting on its own, but there’s a whole other level when you find out that Ruth Wilson is portraying her own grandmother in this miniseries. It’s especially fascinating that to this day they don’t know some of the truth because he…
Reading… Meditation for Fidgety Skeptics. I have gone back and forth with wanting to get into meditating. My focus on cutting back on my smartphone use has reawakened the interest. In my effort, I’ve been doing a 30 Day Meditation Workshop through Camp Calm and have also been reading this book. I highly recommend both…

Reading… Company of One. I actually have several books going right now. I requested this book from the library after hearing the author, Paul Jarvis, on the Hurry Slowly PodcastHurry Slowly Podcast. It’s nice to read a book by someone with a similar business philosophy as mine, where growing the business isn’t the primary concern….
New York Times Square, 1953 via History in Pictures Do you have big weekend plans? This week has been kind of overwhelming and I’m really looking forward to a quiet weekend. The temperatures are supposed to be nearly perfect on Saturday. I’m hoping to get outside and begin some spring yard prep. Some audiobooks to…
Reading… How to Break Up with Your Phone. I have been devouring this book. I think this one has convinced me I have a problem more than Digital Minimalism did. While reading it, it’s occurred to me how much picking up my phone every few minutes is effecting my concentration levels and creativity. I’m experimenting…
