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

    Happy Birthday

    Thirty-five years ago, I remember sitting in our living room, uncertain of all the hullaballoo around me. My grandmother was taking care of me, so I remember being both thrilled and yet, again, uncertain.

    Then I recall being told to si in an armchair as I was handed a cotton-swathed bundle that MOVED. The flashbulbs began popping away. I am sort of ashamed to report that a 4-year-old me was not very happy about that bundle being brought into the house.

    Today is my middle sister's birthday. As children we were rivals, but as adults we are best friends. Happy birthday, Rachel!
