I love a fresh start. A new beginning. A chance to introduce new ideas or unlock my mind to think beyond my walls. It makes it even better when just about everyone else is thinking the same way ~ as in “It’s a new beginning.” I strive on being open to fresh ideas. Liking the…

My dear friend Cha Cha over at Sit Relax and Read has a brand new link party starting. You guess it, Sentimental Sundays. She & I both are suckers when it comes to decorating or being sentimental about various things. That’s one of the many reasons why I will be joining this party very often. It…

what I wore week 4

learning to trust & act on *my* instincts
{at our downtown water & carousel park – thus the wet hair} An incident happened about 40 days ago where I didn’t trust my gut instincts. I am still having to deal with the situation it caused. I am kicking myself in the rear, EVERYDAY for not trusting my instincts. Nothing to do with the kids, but with…
