31,536,000 seconds.
it has been one year
since the global pandemic coronavirus began to shut much of our nation down
so much loss and so many sacrifices and lessons learned
everyone waiting for a return to fully living life
with hope on the horizon.

the history of how you felt.
loving my new journals and so looking forward to filling them

“language allows us to reach out to people, to touch them with our innermost fears, hopes, disappointments, victories.
to reach out to people we’ll never meet.
it’s the greatest legacy you could ever leave your children or your loved ones:
the history of how you felt.”

dark side of the moon.
sitting
in total darkness
absolute silence
very slowly
one by one
notes
chords
pinpoints of light
pierced the air
sitting in my seat
48 years ago
in detroit
pink floyd
unfolded their new album
dark side of the moon
right before my eyes and ears
in real time
playing full out
the crowd
mesmerized
just taking it all in
vibrating
then roaring in appreciation
one of my most memorable live concert experiences ever.

“it was like being in the eye of a hurricane. you’d wake up in a concert and think – wow how did i get here?”

sweet spots.
have you ever asked yourself,
“will today be the day I combine my love of baking with my love of arts and crafts?”
if this is the day, here’s what can help
the brand new disco, glitter, chocolate chips
this hit all the sweet spots for me
a holy trinity of sins.
