At first I though this would be a fluff piece of life as viewed by a wealthy old woman living in the past, but soon I was hooked. I was intrigued because I saw some personality similarities between my great aunt and the narrator Judith Kraft. I had falsely assumed this was another fluffy, eccentric … Continue reading Summer Reading: The Last List of Miss Judith Kratt & Local Girls

Fear, grief and dogs
Jolene I have a sick pup. Jolene had been lethargic for a couple of days, but yesterday when she refused breakfast, I took her to the vet. I was worried because she was not her usual enthusiastic self that jumps with joy as I carry a cup of kibble to her bowl. Sick pups are … Continue reading Fear, grief and dogs

Summer Reading: Saint X & The Other Black Girl

If you missed the 1975 or 2004 movie, it takes place in an expensive, planned community in Stepford, Connecticut where all the wives have perfect bodies, are content at home with their children and husbands, make dinner every night, are subservient, bland and … Continue reading Stepford Wife in the Office
Summer Mornings
Mornings are my sacred time for movement, self-care and meditation. My routine has evolved over the years and is based on Ayurveda guidelines. My alarm goes off at 5 a.m. Upon rising I change into workout clothes, scrape my tongue and head outside to walk my dog. She is also a backup alarm that limits … Continue reading Summer Mornings
Best Thing This Week: LFG
Driving into work this week, I listened to a podcast interview with Abby Greensfelder, the Executive Producer of LFG. Though the US Women team has won four World Cup titles and four Olympic gold medals they are paid much less then the men’s team. Per regular season game, players on the women's team earn 89 … Continue reading Best Thing This Week: LFG
