I am an East Coast expatriate hiding out in the Midwest...

I am an urban gal living in the suburbs and occasionally hiding in the country

I am a yoga practitioner, fitness enthusiast, believer in the mind-body-spirit connection...

I am a mid-life "revert" to the Roman Catholic faith in which I was raised and which has become an enormous source of support, encouragement, inspiration, and joy in my life...

I am a mom, sister, daughter, and wife...

I am an explorer; adventurous and curious about the world and people around me...

I am educated in the formal sense but I gain insight through everyday living...

I created this blog at a time of great fear and apprehension in my life. I chose to sustain it because of the discoveries about myself and the world around me that it has revealed.



What you can expect to find here:
  • the documentation of a love-hate relationship with the greater Philadelphia area
  • reminiscing about the good-ole-days (the 80's!)
  • complaints about my various ailments and injuries, both real and imagined
  • pictures and stories of gardening, decorating, shopping, sewing
  • my love of irony
  • links to kooky news stories
  • way too much scatological musing for sane people

    Why we bought the cabin...

    As expected, we will be packing up the van and hauling up to our cabin in Wisconsin for the long weekend.

    This morning, I noted to my daughter, "Why don't you plug in and charge up your gameboy for the weekend?"

    Her reply validated all of my hopes for the type of activity and mindset we would experience when we visit the woods.

    "Mom, I think I can do without the Gameboy. I think I'll just work on craft projects, read  and play outside."

    No tv, no video games, no internet. Sounds like heaven to me!

    Your daughter actually said that!? Sounds like a leader and not a follower to me! Marvelous! Simply marvelous!

    Have fun on your little trip.
