Someone asked me the other day “What is one thing you want to be right now that you aren’t?” They were not asking about the normal things that immediately come to mind like being rich, or skinny, or famous.

I woke up this October morning, much like I always do. I made coffee, put on lots of layers and made my way out on my porch. It is just me. No husband, no dog, not another soul. There is a crisp in the air that instantly heightens my senses. It is not cold enough... Continue Reading →
