I've been making videos and trying to figure out what I want my channel to be when I have so many passions. One idea forming slowly in my mind is that I should have the channel be about faith and the creative life. There's not enough creativity in the church right now, and too few … Continue reading Using Youtube to Live a Better Life

4 Books I Love
To expand my mind and to help keep the brain damage from shock therapy and years of heavy medication from decaying my brain, I'm constantly reading. This is my "stay at home university." I am convinced that the education you can spend a hundred thousand getting from a university can be got from the library … Continue reading 4 Books I Love
Great Start to the Break
C took me out to lunch today while A went on a playdate to a classmate's house. It's always nice to get out of the house just the two of us. We had invited L to go with us, but she had homework and things she wanted to do. So we lucked into a date. … Continue reading Great Start to the Break

Designing My Own MFA
I am not going to grad school for a variety of reasons, not the least of which is money. (My disdain for leftist politics and an unwillingness to support a system of Marxist academics also play a role in me not attending. As does the fact I will make no money from such a course … Continue reading Designing My Own MFA

Battlefield, Film, Books
Today my husband took our family to a historic battlefield. I got photos on both of the film cameras I brought. I can't wait to see how the color flash comes out in one and the special effects of psychedelic blues film in the other. Film makes me happy. I ordered more today for my … Continue reading Battlefield, Film, Books
Lovely Day!
This morning, my husband took our daughter to swimming and let me sleep in. Then we went to the local library and got library cards! I didn't have anything in particular in mind when I walked in, but I walked out with 8 books! From embroidery to biography to sociology, the books span many subjects. … Continue reading Lovely Day!
Peaceful Life Update

Big Cat Diaries, Wolves, and Homelessness
I found Big Cat Diary on Amazon Prime and confess I bought it. I loved that show back when my husband and I met, and I watched much of it with him. It's a super big nature documentary. What's not to love? I read a fascinating book this week about wolves. I really love wolves. … Continue reading Big Cat Diaries, Wolves, and Homelessness
