Last week, I asked you to ask me questions, and ask you did! Thank you so much – this was really fun! Here we go! Books and Reading Ally asked: My question is: given your druthers, which book genre is your favorite? And why? I will put this question together with one of Suzanne’s, which […]
Who Moved My…Clothes; Seventy-Four Weeks In
Every evening I choose a yoga/ workout outfit, complete with hairband and scrunchie, and I set those things in the bathroom; that way, when I wake up early I just slip into my clothes and I’m ready for my yoga practice and workout, without having to disturb anyone.

Refreshed and Rejuvenated; Sixty-Eight Weeks In
Thank you all so much for weighing in on last week’s question! I am cautiously optimistic and hopeful, and also clinging to my mask collection. I did take advantage of the Big Reopening in one way, and that was to visit my parents for four nights. It’s interesting; I am a person who thrives on […]
