A Challenge To You For 2021
No matter where you are in the world, no matter your political alliances, Wednesday, January 6, 2021, will be a day that lives in infamy.
As we face these challenges within our nation, I want to issue a different kind of challenge, maybe one that will help us reset our minds, our spirits, and our agendas.
For the rest of 2021, I will be doing self-care Sundays, and I’d love if you’d join me. Here’s how:

Good morning, lovely Lilies! What a wonderful day it is!
Wow-what a week it’s been already and today is only Wednesday LOL. I’ve had so many changes taking place both personally and professionally that it’s got me feeling a bit overwhelmed and off-kilter.

The Little House I Dream Of
I have shared before about my great escape, though I still have yet to share the full reasons behind it. That will come in another post. But I can share with you the house that I want to build.
Introducing my Lily Pad. (click images to see larger versions)
This is a modification to a design by America’s Best Home Plans. I made minor adjustments to the exterior by adding a covered porch rather than the patio style porch the original plan has. I also added a bit of square footage to the alcove just off the kitchen, so … ...Keep Reading
