HAPPY NEW YEAR !!!

As I enter into this new decade, I become more mindful of the small changes that can bring about large choices.

NEW YEAR PRACTICES

As one who does not believe in resolutions, I have been thinking of better practices that we can all attempt, in hope of making our planet a healthier one.

Here are a few changes we could try:

Minimize paper products

Be mindful of reusable water bottles

Research rechargeable batteries instead of replacements

Use bar soap instead of body wash plastic bottles

Consider a wooden toothbrush instead of plastic

Think of a quality metal razor opposed to disposables

Make your own air fresheners with essential oils & water

Small changes can make a difference!

Can you think of other ways to improve our surroundings?

Happy 2020, Everyone !!!

At first, I was not sure whether to take it out and read it, or not. Perhaps I have seen too many "Candid - Punked" like shows, and someone was watching my every move. Pushing these paranoid thoughts aside, I reached over, read it and I was elated...

Nashville Travels ...

As I left Logan Airport in Boston, I felt that I was opening a new window in my life. One of freedom. One of self-independence. I found my seat and settled in. The flight flew by and I was in Nashville before I knew it. I gathered my bags and headed to the outside passenger pickup curb. I was greeted with open arms by a friend that could easily be a Sister of mine. Before too long, I began seeing Nashville and Memphis signs on the highway. This was truly happening. A jaunt that was planned so quickly, felt more surreal by the moment. A quick re-cap of the tourist sites we took in were visiting the Grand Ole Opry Backstage Tour, Antique Archeology (American Pickers Gift Shop), Broadway (Street of Lights) and shopping in Downtown Franklin. The regular daily sites were just as fun - Meeting new friends, trying new food (and cream soda - Yum!), listening to live music, attended a going away party, shared in a friends brunch, and being serenaded by incredibly talented fiddlers, g...
