Pre- 2020 I had three dance classes a week. It was like a dream. Drop my kiddo off and start my day with dance! And Thursday evening, my sweet Hula classes.. 🌺 It was all taken from me, never to return. I've been pretty crushed about it. A few months ago...
My Space
I'm so grateful for this space. Few know it, but more than once, I have had to choose between a home and this warehouse. Since my business is my livelihood, and the means to which I have raised 4 kids, I chose a warehouse. And Faith in my ability to be successful. Now...
Hibiscus Passings
It seems that my sweet and abundant pink hibiscus has finally finished flowering for the winter. This beautiful plant was a gift from my friend Tanya, and truly the gift that keeps giving. It made stunning flowers from spring time, straight through to the new year! I...
my social free weekends

2021 Planning

A real Desert Oasis
Have you ever driven for miles and miles through hot dry sand land, and happen upon a desert oasis? We did just that, in Egypt, a few year back. What a relief to finally spot of cluster of date palms, and in the center of it, a little fresh water pool. We bathed, we...
Martin Luther King Day
This is one of my favorite pieces of Ram's art, Martin Luther King Jr. and 8 of his finest qualities, as recognized by a kindergartner: Love, Respect, Brave, Helpful, Caring, Equality. Indeed, what the world needs now! This is why we must never erase history and...
