This has been a wild year so far. I can't believe it's already May! So much has happened. I've tried some different things with my blog, written lots of new stories, and started on many new journeys. But...nothing I planned has quite worked out the way I thought it would. In a sense, it's been … Continue reading What if my New Year’s resolutions aren’t working out?

Get out of the house. Seriously.
If you weren't a homebody before the pandemic, chances are you're probably one now. Personally, I've always loved being at home, which is very much connected to the fact that I'm an introvert.
