I'm part way through 3 books right now. This one is exciting because while I have read some old chinese poetry in school years ago, I have not read that much contemporary Chinese poetry. Of course, to be fair, American schools don't teach American contemporary poetry, either. But I am finding poets with provocative images … Continue reading Currently Reading

Okay, This Time It’s For Good
I deleted my writing/personal Instagram and my art Instagrams. I feel free! I am still on social media to network dogs in high kill shelters with fosters or adopters. But no more selfies (which always made me feel self absorbed). No more. No more getting dopamine hits from likes. I downloaded samples of 39 books … Continue reading Okay, This Time It’s For Good
New Notebooks for Learning
I was on amazon late one night when I shouldn't have been, and I absolutely loved these composition books I saw with rainbow pages inside. They came 6 to a pack. So I gave one to my daughter, and the others I'm going to use to take notes in my personal curriculum. On top of … Continue reading New Notebooks for Learning
Instagram, Studio Life
I reinstated my writing Instagram, but not my trad account. I missed my small community on the writing account. And a record of the last decade of my life. I've been on it a lot less though. So the other night my husband took me by surprise. I can't remember exactly what we were talking … Continue reading Instagram, Studio Life
Change of Plans
I'm pausing YouTube. If I restart, there will be a bible journaling/study channel and a book channel. But the whole purpose in having a channel is to raise money for my dog rescue, and I'm years away from being able to do that anyway. Plus, I don't like being on camera. I got some new … Continue reading Change of Plans
YouTube Channel Plans
Right now my little YouTube channel has 44 subs or so. I think part of my problem is that I don't have a niche. I talk about book reviews and religion and homemaking and I tell funny stuff, and bible journaling and do camera unboxings. That might just be too much. People who are interested … Continue reading YouTube Channel Plans
Inlaws Are Here
My inlaws are here. Day 2. I haven't been at my best, or really been the best hostess. I'm antisocial, moody, and tired. I'm stressed out. Why can't I relax? Having C home for the week is nice. I wish it were time with him with just the immediate family. But I'm glad he's getting … Continue reading Inlaws Are Here
Mother Mary
I am gathering Catholic books. I bought 4 from Ascension Press that I downloaded on my ipad/kindle. One is about drawing near to Mother Mary like a daughter. This is still so new to me, somehow homey and foreign simultaneously. I don't know how to draw close to Mary. I want to find out. As … Continue reading Mother Mary
Happy Mother’s Day!
I woke up to a fresh baked lasagna made by C. It was scrumptious. Then I opened my presents. They got me a new set of rainbow lights for my wall! I had been wanting those for so long since my last set broke. They gave me a little raccoon, a candle, some art suppplies, … Continue reading Happy Mother’s Day!
Taco Bell
Today I went to my daughter A's school for lunch to surprise her. I brought Taco Bell. She was so happy! I had anxiety getting there, and anxiety waiting to see her because the cafeteria was so loud. But I stuck it out and I made it. I'm so glad I did. She's in class … Continue reading Taco Bell
