In With the Old and the New
As I continue my adventures in painting the new home office en suite, I have completed the first phase of the color makeover. Eight walls and 3.5 gallons (including the paint in my hair, on my clothes, and of course, the layer that found its way to the bottom of my...
Working Space
I've been avoiding the renovations of the second story of my home for nearly three years. Well, that's not exactly true; my son, who moved in with me pre-COVID, occupied most of the top floor for the better part of four years. However, I passively resisted doing the...
Working On Home
Happy New Year! I hope 2023 finds you well and ramping up your prosperity in this new year. For me, 2022 was a blur of activity and inner reflection of healing, self-discovery, and a quest to return to who I really am and who I am meant to be(come) -- a slow, yet...

Home@Work
If we learned anything from the ongoing pandemic, it's the embrace of the idea that we may have neglected home. I'm not only talking about the structure, the four walls of physical construct that contain all of our furnishings, our possessions, and our, ahem, junk,...
The Gift of Taking Space
Perspective can be a tough thing to gain. When we are too close to something, our vision can become distorted and we can fail to see what needs to be seen. Our perception of truth, clarity, and expectations can cause us to see what we want to see and not what needs to...
Product Review: The Eyes Have It
Product Reviews are back! It’s been a while since we posted a review, but to be fair, it’s been a minute since I’ve tried a new product that warranted rave. Recently, I noticed that my eyes were starting to show more signs of aging. Laughter, squinting, and just plain...
