perspective to see progress

Wow! I needed to see this illustration by @lizandmollie. It can be so hard to assess how you’re doing from inside that circle. It takes a different #perspective to see your #progress. pic.twitter.com/dABc2o9lUj

worth celebrating: oreo day!

Happy #NationalOreoDay! I compared Chocolate Peanut Butter Pie (left) with standard Peanut Butter @Oreo. Both delicious, but regular PB wins. What’s your favorite flavor? Do you dunk in milk? Take them apart and eat the creme separately? Original or Double Stuf? #milkandcookies pic.twitter.com/1OOeOGp3AU

Since it’s the last day of #BakeForFamilyFun Month, here’s a look at our family’s multigenerational #birthdaycake of choice, #angelfood with #grandmasrecipe citrus icing.

aww, it's polar bear day

Feb. 27 is when we celebrate International #PolarBearDay! Polar bears have been my favorite since 1990 when my new boyfriend (now husband of 28 years) gave me this adorable stuffed one for Christmas. I named him Traveling Wilbury but later my kids renamed him Rawr-Rawr. #ThenNow pic.twitter.com/nP7HrAt70V

ttfa podcast talks about end of life issues

Listen to the podcast episode here.

I hope, too, you’ll then make the opportunity to talk about end-of-life matters with loved ones. Our culture has such a disordered view of death and dying. “Living” as long as possible at any physical, financial, and emotional cost should not be every person’s unquestioned goal.

bloom and grow

#AfricanViolets! Many of my beautiful #plants were gifts of condolence when Rader died in June 2017. Caring for them in those early days gave me hope and a sense of nurturing and purpose when my whole world felt like it had blown up. Pic 2 shows how small they were back then. pic.twitter.com/O0Qt45DOMA
