My mom has been battling Alzheimer’s for many years now; I have sort of lost count. We started to notice it probably about 10 years ago give or take. It’s funny how when we first noticed it, we would get so frustrated by the things she would do, like ask the same question a million…

It’s pretty easy to get caught up in where I want to be as opposed to where I am. There are so many amazing watercolorists doing such gorgeous work and imposter syndrome is real. I have it in my professional life, why not my creative life too. 😅😂😭 I recently had 3 months paid leave…

We have a debate going on in my house around whether or not it’s ok to write in a book. For whatever reason I would never write in a novel, but I write ALL OVER non-fiction. In fact, for this reason, I don’t enjoy e-books as much because, while I know I can highlight and…

Today is my 14th anniversary of having a WordPress.com account! Feels like yesterday and a million years ago all at the same time.

Sometimes I forget some of my equipment at home when I’m at a coworking space and have to improvise. My neck was starting to lock up so I needed something to raise my laptop. Works pretty great!

I’m sure I’m not alone in having found a new obsession/hobby during 2020. Mine has been watching Indian films with my daughter. Disclaimer: I don’t know anything about the Indian film industry. Just what I’ve learned by watching them. I’m certain I miss or misunderstand cultural elements. I don’t always quite always know the difference…

I finally made ladoos the other day. It’s basically a round sweet dough ball. The recipe I used called for chickpea flour, I have no idea if that’s standard. Disclaimer: I know nothing about Indian food other than what I’ve seen in Bollywood movies or briefly experienced while on a business trip to India. I…
