We love this question from Elizabeth Barrett Browning, but we’re suggesting a twist in this month of love. How often do we truly appreciate who we are? How often do we practice self-love?Our invitation to you this month is to send yourself a Valentine or two appreciating what it is that you love, like, or […]
The view from 30,000 feet is breathtaking! From my seat over the wing on a recent flight I was fascinated by the juxtaposition of our (seemingly small) airplane against the vast expanse of Earth below. It was mesmerizing. Beautiful… Majestic… Amazing… words fail to capture it. Watching fields and rivers, small towns and big cities, […]
And you thought my adventure was over when I returned home from Italy! (Previous post – Grapes, Gratitude & Grace 11/22/19) Well, the adventure continued… Five days after returning home, I flew to California to help with my mother’s convalescence due to her leg injury. My original plan was to stay for two weeks. Instead, […]

I like to travel. In fact, very often if a friend hasn’t seen me for awhile, the first question is usually “Barb, where have you been lately?” While others love to go shopping for things, if I have any extra money, it will go towards transportation somewhere, more than anything else. I really do like […]
January… it seems we either love it or hate it. I happen to be in the former category, but admit that for years I was one who dreaded it. It’s winter after all, and here in Minnesota that can be dreary. Our winters can last well into March, even April, so I get it when […]
A Step Into Timeless Wonder & Possibility Floating down on a cloud, Mary Poppins entered my life, fifty-four years ago.
